I've tried to stay away from blaster box purchases, because they seem like a tease of miscellaneous cards rather than something relatively fulfilling - as is, I kind of liked what these cards looked like, particularly the parallels that seem to pop.
Impulsively, maybe what I’m looking for is a product that reflect the here and now - I want something that looks a little different, a little spacey as opposed to a product that uses a retro design [Topps Heritage, Topps Gypsy Queen, Topps Allen and Ginter, Topps Archives] and/or a product that doesn't really stray from what a baseball card looks like [Topps Flagship].
Topps Fire will never be the product of the year or anything - but maybe worth at least a couple of more looks.
The think I've liked the most out of Fire so far are the inserts. I haven't seen any in person yet, but it looks better than last year and has potential to be something different.
ReplyDeleteI always like the looks of this set, although worry if it keeps coming out it's going to have the Allen & Ginter/Gypsey Queen issue I personally have of all the sets blending together and looking the same and not knowing which year is which.
ReplyDeleteStill, the cards do look cool. I love that Gleyber! Nice pull there.
