Target Topps Throwbacks Have Arrived ! Along with A "Grand " package.

Right next to the Sandusky Mall , where I go to walk every night after work , is our local Target.I decided to stop in tonight. There were some new boxes of Topps and sure enough the # was 1-825-50-12-9 !! I picked up one box , there was at least two more , paid and hurried to my car to open at least one pack. The first little peak behind the torn wrapper told me this was what I was waiting for ! The gray colored back was a dead give-a-way. On the front side was the retro Topps logo. But wait , that was it ? To me this parallel is the real "gimmic" this year. I really like the black borders. They " jump" out at me , but I have no real desire to purchase another box of these.Although I DO have to have all the Tribe cards and this was not a good box for them. However , this is what I got .....

The one lonely Indian was at least a good one in Cliff Lee. Now I need the normal base card version.

I do like the red and black backs on the Tribe cards.Those are our HS colors.
