All cards are oversized. I really like the design.

Foil cards are awesome. Condition is not. Impractical size (to say the least).

I bought four boxes....have opened one so far.

Each box yields 132 base cards & 36 foil cards, so although a single box should yield a full base set, depending on distribution, you'll need to open several boxes to complete the foil set, since there are 60 of those.

The cards are gorgeous, but I haven't figured out what size sheets to use to store/display them yet, since as noted upthread, they are oddly sized.

I have my in progress set in 4 pocket pages and the cards peek out the top a small amount. I store it upright though so not too worried. I opened 3 and have all base but missing several of the foils.

thanks for the info guys, guess im going to pass on them,

i was hoping it was just a single over sized card and the rest of them normal size. set does look nice, but not a fan of the bigger cards.

I'm just curious why Topps decided to make them the size they did.

They would have worked just as well as either standard sized tallboys or as 3x5/4x6 jumbos.

It's almost as if Topps went out of their way to choose a size that doesn't fit properly in any sheets/holders.
