The 2015 Topps Heritage release pays tribute to the 1966 Topps edition. It’s not one of my more favorite sets, so I’m less excited this year, but it still does what it sets out to do.

2015 Topps Spring Fever Pack Break

We’re going to change it up a little bit with a single pack. The Spring Fever release is a special promotion run by Topps through Hobby Stores. The stores give away these special unmarked packs of Spring Fever cards. The base set is 50 cards, with a few autographs mixed in. It’s a free little extra, but it’s not a bad change of pace.

The silver foil pack contains five cards. This pack contained:

2015 Topps Spring Fever #SF-1 Albert Pujols
2015 Topps Spring Fever #SF-7 Anthony Rizzo
2015 Topps Spring Fever #SF-16 Masahiro Tanaka

The first break of the new year is always an exciting time.  It’s a nice reminder that baseball is just around the corner, along with the summer.

 

This is a pretty standard release from .  The Jumbo Hobby box contains 10 packs of 50 cards with 1 Autograph and 2 relics included.  The biggest thing that stands out to me is there are a lot fewer insert cards in this release than we’ve seen in recently years.  There is plenty of variety, but more base.
