2008 Topps Jumbos: Part 2

Ok, lets take a look at another of my favorite parts (this whole set is a favorite part) of Topps 2008 Series 1, the Trading Card History subset. I have exactly 20 of these cards, and I believe it is a 20 card set for series 1, so with some really good luck you could complete the set with two Jumbos. I did not, but I should have the doubles I need to trade for and complete the set. They were obviously seeded at 1 per jumbo pack.

The cards themselves feature both young and star players on classic baseball card designs from the past. Yeah not exactly ground breaking with all the heritage sets that are out there, and really there are not any twists. There are no blurbs on the back talking about the historic cards, and some of the cards can't even say what the emulate due to copy write rules. Most just say what set they represent and then have a standard blurb about the player. The major difference from the heritage sets out there are some of the off the wall designs these cards chose to honor. The cards look great, even the ugly ones because they did it on purpose. They should have talked about the card sets instead of the players though.
