Overall Look

Just like the regular set this year, the design of the base set is attractive but it’s the photography that makes this set stand out. The inserts and die cuts look great too.

Quality and Variety of Players and Subsets.

At 220 base cards the checklist probably could have been cut down a little to keep the quality at a premium but overall the list is very good.

Do the hits hold up?

Our auto was on-card. There are some premium hits to be had here from the Rookie Class. Hit a superfractor like we did and the auto will seem like a bonus.

Will you want to collect them all?

This set works well for set and rainbow collectors. You’ll want them all and more.

Rating

2011 Topps Chrome Football wraps up the rookie prospecting for the year nicely.
