All in all, a pretty good break! Hit a Chris Carpenter Rip Card /99, and 2 game-used, including Ray Boom Boom Mancini! A fun rip with a great mixture of americana and sports figures. Overall I'd give this break a B+ with a great collations and selection of mini's and Short prints. The asthetic value of the cards is beyond reproach with another great design, even surpassing the past 2 years designs. Truly a set for the classic set builder with that vintage look to it! Way to Go Topps!
