Here is the Product Information, although most of you guys can tell me all this in your sleep.

MY BOX BREAK REVIEW:

Base Set: 252/330

The new base design is a favorite of mine, Topps went kind of retro-ish on the design, and the huge logos were used to shove the license into Upper Deck's faces. I like! This Prince Fielder card is the best card in the set no doubt, what a cool and funny picture. I really like Prince, he has a big future in baseball.
