2007 Topps Moments and Milestones Baseball is a set that compiles MLB stars notable statistical accomplishments. The base cards I pulled are all numbered to /150. The front of the cards is real clean looking with mainly action shots of the players. At the very top of the cards is the Topp Moments and Milestones logos along with the numbered to line. At the bottom of the card is the statistical accomplishment achieved for that numbered card. Also, the players name and team are on the bottom of the card. The back of he cards has a short bio and the listed accomplished feat in detail along with a stat line from that year.

The box-topper pack had two Alex Rodriguez "Road to 500" homerun cards. The front of the card details the specific homerun down to who, what, when, where and how. A real nice tribute set to a great player.

The autographed cards we pulled are nice high-quality autographs. They are of Kendry Morales of the Angels and Shawn Riggans of the Devil Rays. Both autographs are clean and complete without any bubbling or breaks.

The
Final Verdict! |

| I rate this box a 4 1/2 of 5 HI Fives. 2007 Topps Moments and Milestones Baseball is a nice new designed sports card product. You can usually find these boxes in the $85 to $129 price range. The /150 or white versions would be great cards to purchase if you were a TTM (through-the-mail) or IP (in-person) autograph seeker.
