Set: Topps - Emerald Foil (Rate)

Card: #438 Yasmani Grandal


“ These green cards look spectacular in person. I have one that I was given by another collector, and I think it's probably the best looking non-Refractor parallel in history. Green has been my favorite color for my entire life. They look nicer in hand than in scans. ” -Billy Kingsley

“ Thought these had a cool look for a parallel. ” -muskie027

“ Let's see how many negatives I can find. 1. It's a parallel. 2. The border and the background are the same color. 3. It looks just like the base set except they changed the color. 4. You can't see the name because of the background. 5. There is no designation on the back that this is a parallel and the back looks just like the base set back. I could keep going because I keep seeing more things but this post is getting too long. Front a 1, back a 1, overall a 1. This is a waste of a tree. ” -davidhandberry

“ Nice color sequence for the emerald foils, and 2013 had a pretty good design and overall look. ” -Alomar_Collector

“ This set is a hit and miss. The emerald background looks good with some of the primary photography focus on some cards, and terrible on others. Colour contrast comes up big on it I guess. ” -rmpaq5

“ Like the back, but the front is kind of basic. Especially for a parallel. ” -kirkscards

“ Modern Topps parallels I've got a love/hate thing with these. pretty much like the design and the parallels to a point. The last few years there have been too many parallels and exclusive parallels from specific stores or suppliers. ” -captkirk42

I really love this parallel (colored foil), however, I have found Topps to be going over the top w insertsfrown. One can only collect so many cards before one gets bored with them. I applaud those who are attempting "the master set" which I thtink means everything under the sun for a give base set. I.e. Game-Used, Autos, all parallels wow what a time commitment and expense!
