Base Cards
There are 330 cards in the base set. They consist of rookie cards, players who changed teams during the season, and home run derby contestants. The cards have the same design as the Series One and Two Topps cards with the white border. The front of the card has the team's logo with the team color worked on one side. The back of the cards have player information and career major league stats. You should be able to complete the base set with a box and a half and some light trading.
Inserts
If you like inserts, this is your product. There are over 100 cards in a box of nothing but inserts. There are over 7 different types of inserts with most carrying over from the Series One and Two product. The Cards Your Mom Threw Out are one of my favorites and they continue with another 58 different cards. The Turkey Red Inserts also continue and add another 50 cards to that set.
Gold Parallel
These cards have the same look and design as the base cards except with a gold border. The cards are numbered out of 2010. We pulled 6 Gold cards: Hong Chih Kuo #162, Ryan Ludwick #169, Ben Sheets #205, Yorvit Torrealba #217, Kevin Millwood #255, and Arthur Rhodes #286.
Black Parallel
These cards have the same look and design as the base cards except with a black border. The cards are numbered out of 59. We pulled a Coco Crisp #312.
Box Topper
The Box Topper was a Topps Chrome Omar Beltre Rookie Refractor #36. These cards have the same look and design of the base cards except with a chrome finish and refractor tint. You get one Box Topper card per box.

We pulled 13 cards: Eddie Mathews #117, John Podres #118, Tom Lasorda #119, Carl Yastrzemski #126, Steve Garvey #136, Mark Fidrych #142, Rickey Henderson #147, Dave Winfield #150, Nolan Ryan #156, Billy Wagner #159, Nomar Garciaparra/Derek Jeter/Alex Rodriguez #164, Mike Schmidt/Jim Thome #169, and Ian Kinsler #170.
The John Podres #118 has the original 1953 Topps card back design on it instead of the 2010 insert set card back design.

I really enjoyed this box and would like to thank Topps for another great product. The photography and player selection are strong in this Update Series. The box is insert heavy and there are many great insert sets here to choose from. Some of the my favorite ones are the Cards Your Mom Threw Out and Turkey Red cards. The hobby boxes are very reasonably priced and can be had for around $35 to $43.
I would like to thank Topps and Card Collectors World for giving us this chance to break this box. Please support the sponsors that support us.
