2006 Topps Bazooka Baseball is back with "Mickey Mantle". The photography on these cards is fantastic. Also, there is a nice clean design this year. The front of the cards has a posed or action shot of the players. Across the top of the card is the team name and the players' name. The back of the cards has a complete statistical listing of the players' previous year in the major leagues. Along with the regular version there are two parallels of the card; Blue Bordered and Gold Bordered (see scan above).

The rookie cards have something new this year with the inclusion of the Rookie Card Logo near the bottom of the card. Most of the rookie cards have posed shots as opposed to action shots. The back of the cards have the players' stats from their last year of minor league experience. We pulled (15) rookies from our 24 packs of cards in this box.The same three versions are available as in the base described above.

The inserts are at least one per pack in this box. They include;

• Topps Baseball Stamp
• Player Cartoons
• Sticker Cards

The Game-Used odds were met with the three pulled from this review box. We pulled bat cards of Johnny Damon and Sammy Sosa. The last card pulled was a two-colored jersey card of Ryan Wagner.

Lastly, but definitely not leastly were the Bazooka mini-sticker album and the oversized card of Mickey Mantle.
