2006 Topps Total
Football is a very nice designed set. A real nice simplified
design and all of the text is very readable. There are
(5) parallel sets to collect as well; Blue, Red, Silver,
Gold, and Black. The back of the cards has sections
called Topps Tracker which lists the players strengths.
The 2nd section is Role which basically tells what the
player is expected to do on the field for his set of
skills. Lastly is the Stats section that lists the players
last years stats along with career stats.

| Comments:
All of the rookie
cards are posed/semi-action shots from Training Camp.
The back of the cards have the players' stats from their
last year of college experience and their college stat
totals. The rookie cards have the Topps Total rookie logo
on the bottom portion of the card. We pulled (151) rookies
from our 24 packs of cards in this box. Here was the mixture
of the rookie pulls;
- (138) Regular Rookies
- (7) Blue Rookies
- (5) Red Rookies
- (1) Silver Rookie

The
Final Verdict! |
|
|
|
| I
rate this box a 4 of 5 HI Fives. A very nice quality set
for a reasonably low price. You can usually find these
boxes in the $32 to $59 price range on the web sites I
have checked. Good value for the money in my opinion.
If you like collecting rookies; then this box could be
what you're looking for. Also, this is another great product
for IP and TTM autograph hunters. Not a real shiny surface
and should take an autograph well. |
