2016 Topps Archives Hobby Box Break

Topps Archives is back with another release featuring designs from various years with current and past stars.  This year, the 310 card set features three past sets.  They’re not exactly my favorites, but they do span quite a long time, including 1953, 1979, and 1991.

2015 Topps Archives Hobby Box Break

Topps changed up the Archives release a little bit this year.  Once again, it is a familiar set up with three vintage designs used in the main set, 1957, 1976, and 1983.  The base set has 300 cards, with an additional 30 SPs, bringing the full set to 330.  Unlike previous years, the SPs are a much more difficult pull.  In previous years, they were available in roughly 1:4 packs.  This year, it’s moved to 1:77!  Well, so much for making a full set.
