Final Thoughts
This is an excellent issue for folks to remember and study US history and it's heroes.
I like the usage of solid Topps designs of the past to incorporate the Heroes of America. I like the white borders on the cards over colored borders. The card backs follow the same design as the front and have facts/information about the person/event/thing on the front. The chrome cards look great and I also like the memorabilia hits as they seem to cover every aspect of U.S. history. Inserts were very plentiful and interesting reads. Tough to put one pack of cards down til you have read every one and can't wait to see what you will remember/learn in the next pack.
I also like the fact that one receives a complete base set - 1-125 in the box.
Overall grade A
I would like to thanks Topps and Treader Retreat for giving me the opportunity to review this box.
