2016 Topps Strata baseball Hobby box for review

[doniceage]

First and foremost, I'd like to thank our sponsors at Topps for providing us with this box.

Topps Strata Baseball is a High End product that focuses on delivering hits that count. No more will you have base or insert cards to sort or store. So if you're a set collector this product is not for you. If you're a thrill seeker of high end gems, this product will surely deliver with it's aesthetically pleasing design.

Many folks claim they love on card auto and not sticker autographs. If that is the case 2016 Topps Strata is just for you. As all autographs are hard signed and deliver a gorgeous card throughout all the signed cards.

Each box contains one pack of two cards. Each pack will contain one Clear Cut Autographed Relic Rookie card and one additional autograph. The Strata Autograph are comprised of 30 plus first year players. There are several parallels, all of which are serial numbered. These include Orange (#'ed to 125), Blue (#'ed to 99), Green (#'ed to 75), Black (#'ed to 50), Gold (#'ed to 25) and Red (#'ed to 1).

The clearly authentic memorabilia are comprised of 20 players. The main cards have Blue (/99), Green (/75), Black (/50), Gold (/25), and Red (#'ed to 1 of 1). Red versions come in several forms, each of which is a one-of-one. Red parallels have premium pieces of gear like buttons, button holes, MLB Silhouetted Batter logo patches, Majestic logo patches and laundry tags.

The best thing about each of these cards is the MLB hologram that let you track each piece of Memorobilia. This is something that has been needed in the hobby for so long. So Kudo's to Topps for doings this. May this be done to more and more product releases in the future.

I took the liberty to track the Cespeds below. Using this link:
