Over the next few posts we will be building toward a Topps 2010 Giveaway of my own. To get there I'll highlight what I think is good, bad, and awesome about this year's Topps flag ship set.
God only knows how many times this design has been printed and re-printed but it is still a striking design that makes this year's version look like it was designed by a box turtle with an IQ of 60.
The backs:
I wonder if Topps knows who thought to use different colors originally?
My personal favorite of the group is the Mel Ott. The world needs more Mel Ott cards in existence.
The Good:
