Year: 2002

“ Probably my least favorite set of the 2000’s. ” -IfbBirdsCards

“ The color of the border isn't my favorite but just happy that for a few years Topps tried another color. Besides the border color I love this set. The only thing on the front I would add the player's position and the back is almost perfect. I would give the front a 8 and the back a 9. 2 points off the front for no position and the color, and 1 point off the back for the color. ” -davidhandberry

“ 2002 was in the middle of my hobby hiatus (as it was for many other collectors of certain ages) When I got back into the hobby early to mid 2004 I considered 2002 to be a typical overproduced bleck set that for some reason I hated. But the completest collector in me told me I needed to look for it. Right now I have no idea how many cards from this set I need, just as most other flagship sets I haven't fully cataloged my "haves" from this set. I know it is very few. If I didn't want to collect this set I would have no interest in this particular card. ” -captkirk42

“ topps really went through a dry spell with graphic design. ” -parsley24

“ Is this Jerry’s brother? Sorry, couldn’t resist. I hope in 2019 Topps breaks the streak and goes with a border in the base set. It’s just a nice look and a nice change of pace after 3 borderless years. ” -muskie027

“ like the design, not a big fan of the orange color, but nice clean design, almost looks like a topps design from the 80's ” -Thunderfoot

Had some of this set when I was a boy. I started collecting again a few years ago, and I was able to get a complete set of this from a local card shop for 20 bucks last year. The main reason I like this set so much, is that I am a Dbacks fan and it has so many of the 2001 World Series players. Very nostalgic for me. ------------------------------- -Shannon

Captkirk42 - Let me know what you need when you get around to it - I have a bunch of doubles my brother-in-law gave me.

Side Note, a lot of the cards in this set could really use some rescans. I don't mean to offend anyone (my scans aren't always the greatest either) but a lot of these cards are really washed out. Normally I wouldn't say anything, but this is a Flagship set. ------------------------------- -Shannon

This set really had potential. I liked the design except there's a little too much negative space towards the bottom. While I'm not crazy about the color, I liked that Topps tried something different. I much prefer this set design over anything Topps did with its flagship from '04-'07.
