2007 Topps Baseball came out with a new distinctive design for their cards this year. The base cards are of nice quality and the new black background is a nice eye-catching appeal to it. Nice action shots of veterans highlight the front of the cards. On the back there is a nice short bio of the player and a section that tells of the players stats while in the Majors.

Rookie Card Scan |

| Comments:
We pulled (27) rookie cards in this one box. Here's the breakdown;
- (26) Regular Rookies
- (1) GOLD Rookie /2007
All of the rookie cards have the new rookie logo in the upper left hand corner this year. A lot easier to spot the rookies cards that you have.

The
Final Verdict! |
|
|
|
| I
rate this box a 3 1/2 of 5 HI Fives. 2007 Topps Baseball Series 1
is a nice new designed sports card product. You can usually
find these boxes in the $60 to $82 price range. Not very good value
for the money in my opinion. No Jersey or autographed cards were pulled from this box. I think that if you could get them for around $45 to $50 that would be a great deal. |
