I think the design looks much better than the last couple of year. Full bleed on base plays very well in this set.

While I am disappointed to not find Tim Hudson on the checklist, I must say the Perspective inserts are stunning. Topps Series 1 is a hobby standard, I have purchased at least one pack every year since I started collecting in 1989. Thanks for the previews and contest!

Having just got back into the hobby this past year, I enjoyed 2015 Topps… and think the design of 2016 is even better! Love that base design!

I like that Topps has gone away from the white border base set, I like the 2015 set a bit more than this years so far. The photography this year seems better than the last couple years too.

I think the quality of the photographs for this year’s topps really improved from the past few years. As an aspiring photographer, I love all the dramatic angles they decided to use! Specifically, I enjoy and will be collecting the Perspective insert set!

Awesome set. The 100 Years of Wrigley alone make this set worth buying and chasing the inserts. The auto relics of the Wrigley inserts likely will cause me to spend more money than I should chasing these cards down. Excited for this series, and for the season to get started.

I enjoy it more than last year’s line. I like being able to notice right away when I have something exciting in a pack.

Happy to see Billy Butler included in the checklist! 2015 was a down year (and partially in line with 2014) but hoping he can bounce back to a 20 HR/ 90 RBI/.280 AVG type season. Thanks for the contest!

It’s always one of my favorite sets to collect. I plan on doing a whole lifetime set from 1985 until whenever I go lol. The designs have been pretty good the last few years and display well.

It’s the official start of baseball season! That’s what Topps Series 1 represents. It’s a classic, & this year’s release looks like it’s not going to disappoint! The base design looks great, the inserts and hits seem like nice bonuses, & you can’t beat the photography. Topps Series 1 brings you back to the heart of the hobby. Instead of quickly thumbing your way to the next hit to flip, you take the time to appreciate the design and details of every single card on your way to completing the set. I personally can’t wait!

Topps flagship is the only baseball I collect every year. Been a tradition ever since my grandfather would buy my 5 year old self packs of 1985 Topps at the gas station every time we went. I’ve put together a set every year since. And now I have a 7 year old son and a 4 year old son hat enjoy card collecting like I did/still do. Thanks for the opportunity.

I love the old school topps cards throughout the years. Throwbacks take me back to collecting as a kid and I really love that about this set. 95 topps, where the best thing was some foil variations, no one worried about game used and auto and I like to be reminded of the simplicity of collecting. Now we all want the Autos and I love the throwback autos along with the new guys like Correa. Seems like this product will appeal to all ages and offer good value. Thanks for listening.

Series 1 is the Flagship of the hobby. Every year it is released marks the beginning of another season of trial and tribulations. Series 1 covers all the emotions from the previous year with great photography and design. From Bautistad bat flip to first pitches by 90 years olds we get an array of wonderful facts and history. In all the design is different from previous years but I commend Topps for this as changing times calls for a little variety. Great job. Oh yeah! Go Mariners

I’ve slowly but surely started getting back into the card collecting hobby, after taking a break for more than 20 years, I have to say, as a kid I loved collecting and couldn’t wait to open up wax packs and see the players that I got.
