Nice review Chris,
I picked up a couple of packs and it was nice to see the Kane County Cougars in there.

I like the look of the Future Foundations inserts.

Not much into the prospect product, but love the "action" autographs!

[gladdyontherise]

Nice review! I really like the set, and I always enjoy the prospect stuff

[key2win]

Nice review Chris. The game used card looks really nice since they used a jumbo jersey swatch. The autos look good with the different colored borders on the card.

Final thoughts on my break:

I really like the look of this set. It brings Topps great game photography to the Minor League scene as opposed to portraits or college uniforms.. Also pictures each player in their respective Minor League uniform, which I find very cool

The inserts are very nice designs. They kind of remind me of the glory days of inserts, the 90s, which I find refreshing.. I really like the BA TOTT cards and especially enjoy the rating system on the back..

I like the Jumbo relic cards as opposed to the normal tiny swatches on today's cards.. The autographs are all stickered but they look very nice and the cards were designed to embed the auto in the card to give them a nice sleek look

Product Rating:

Value = 5
Innovation = 5
Fun and Experience = 5
Rebuy Value = 5

Overall I rate this an A++

Finally a prospect set with up to date uniforms and brilliant color photography!

Not to mention there are a TON of big name players sure to leave their mark on their respective leagues and onto a television set near you!
