“ League leader cards are awesome! At least one set per year should have them. ” -Billy Kingsley

“ Nice. Haven't seen a trio card as a card of the day too often. Somehow I like the look of this card. ” -Duke

“ I was about to say this is a good looking Topps set then the 65th Anniversary hit me and I realized it was another one of the lazy parallels that Topps does. Throw a foil 65th Anniversary on an existing card and boom you have a parallel set. Topps has to be the laziest card company ever. ” -davidhandberry

“ Sign that we're in the modern era. WHIP leaders card. ” -rmitchell6700

“ Why does this card remind me of Devo? ” -DanD

“ I was never a huge fan of leaders cards because I don't like shared cards but it carries on a long tradition of league leader cards with a modern look. I am perfectly fine with the back and always have liked to see the top 10 leaders list on this sort of card. Overall, I think this is a very respectable modern card. ” -BSwagger

“ League Leader cards. As a kid I hated the things. Learned to like them over the years. In modern years they are vastly different than in vintage days (isn't everything in this hobby?) Part of it is I don't like horizontal (landscape) cards. I know many collectors love them because many action photos look better landscaped. I still am a little hung up about the landscaping. ” -captkirk42

“ That’s a lot of good pitchers on one card. lol ” -muskie027

“ Pretty nice trio of pitchers ” -kirkscards

“ Do I have a TCDB addiction? The first thing I did was fix the team links and then fix the rest of the set LOL! ” -rmpaq5

“ I love league leader cards. ” -switzr1

“ Love anniversary cards. ” -Kirbythedodger

Really nice card and besides the front being loaded I love the back listing being a statistics kinda person to begin with. A winner all around.

2016 is the last set of Topps I've actively bought.  I'm trying to build a master set (minus SP, SSP's, and S/N cards) and almost have the base set done.  It's been fun building but I got burnt out doing it, so I might just stop once I finish that.
