'Peak Performance' Autograph - PPALM - Lou Marson

The 'Red Hot Rookie' Redemption card was for Rookie #7, whoever that might be.

Other than the disappointment of an uncompleted set due to poor quality control this was exactly what you would expect from a Topps flagship release. I usually try and build two complete base sets so a couple more Hobby boxes or another HTA Jumbo box might be in my future.

If anyone wants to trade for anything I have pulled let me know, I would be glad to help you with your collection. I will be seeking out some help fulfilling mine, as always.

Cheers,

  1. I'm right there with you on the Quality control. I busted 2 jumbos and in both boxes one of the hits was damaged, not to mention base bards that had dinged corners when no other cards in the pack did or mis cuts or machine imprints. And I did get one complete set but was just short for my second. I ended up buying a regular hobby box cuz I was bored to finish it off. On a postive note the hobby box had no defects maybe it's just the jumbos were getting screwed on.
