2010 Topps Series 1

Unbelievable to be sent some 2010 packs of cards so early in the year. These came from the Alley family who contacted me a while ago about some Topps Attax cards for their son, an Everton fan. I purchased a few Everton items (scarf, tie pin) to include with a football sticker book and cards. In return they sent a huge package of Red Sox cards and unopened packs, not once but twice. Wow, what a family!

As far as Red Sox go, this was poor showing. As a card collector there is a great variety of inserts, base and a nice memorabilia card. I like the 'cards your mom threw out' insert, although a variation on a theme used before. I'm not sure about the wave on the edge of each of the base cards though. Is this some sort of looking down a tunnel or looking through a lens effect?
As always any are up from grabs/trade.

  1. I pulled a nice Tris Speaker 1915 World Series Commemorative Patch card. Would you take that for the Soto card?
