Another Solid Set From Topps The 2008 Topps Baseball Series 1 card set is a nice addition to the longtime tradition of baseball card collecting. Collecting baseball cards is just as much a part of Americana as the game itself. The standard card for the 2008 edition of Topps Baseball features primarily action shots (just a few posed shots) on the front of the card with each player's signature, team name in team colors, and the Topps logo and players printed name in silver. The back of the card features the player's complete stats as well as their position and basic info such as birth date, throwing and batting arm, etc. League leader stats are printed in red and in italics, and there's always a fun tidbit of information on the player if there's room to spare.
Inserts included this year are Own The Game, Year In Review, 50th Anniversary All-Rookie Team, two Mickey Mantle subsets, Presidential Stamps, the obligatory relic and autograph cards as well as other insert sets. Heck, there's even a Campaign 2008 set that some might be in the hunt for.
Overall this is a nice set from Topps. I do think that they went a bit overboard with the Campaign 2008 set, but some folks might just enjoy that.
