Default 2011 Topps Football Factory Set



2011 Topps Football
Each Factory Set Will Contain The Following:
Complete 2011 Topps Football Set (440 Cards)
5 Red Border Parallels


Base Cards



The classic Topps design of white borders with colorful photos. The base cards consist of NFL Veterans, All Pro Players, Team Cards, Record Breakers, Super Bowl Champions, and more.


Rookie Cards



The Factory Set contains 110 NFL Rookies including Cam Newton, Christian Ponder, Julio Jones, A.J. Green, Jake Locker, Mark Ingram, and more. The Rookie Cards have the same design as the base cards except for the RC logo on the top of the card.


Parallel Cards



Each Factory Set has 5 Red Parallel cards. They are all numbered out of 77. We pulled a Jamie Harper RC, Willis McGahee, Carlos Dunlap, Tony Gonzalez, and a Minnesota Vikings Team Card.


Final Thoughts

I always enjoy Topps Football every year with the great photography used and one of the first opportunities to get cards of the rookies in their NFL uniform. One disappointment of the factory set was that it is not sorted in numerical order. This box set carries a suggested retail price of $40 per box. Collectors who prefer to get a complete set of cards and the rookies instead of buying multiple boxes to do so will love this product.


Product Rating

Value = 4
Innovation = 3.5
Fun and Experience = 3.5
Rebuy Value = 4

I would give a C for this Topps Product!


NPN

There is no NPN information for this product.


I like to thank Card Collectors World and Topps for giving me the opportunity to review this product.

I remember buying Topps Baseball Factory Sets in the early 1990s. Most card boxes wont get you a full base set, so this is a nice alternative for collectors.

I've never considered factory sets as I prefer the challenge of building sets, but I agree they make a great gift.
