“ Great photo. OK design. ” -parsley24

“ Nice 2011 Topps card. When did they start stamping Factory sets? Oh wait it was a special Anniversary Year never mind. ” -captkirk42

“ A great design that feels like it will be considered a classic from this era of card collecting. IMHO ” -koloth42

“ Is there a clinical name for the condition where the right half of my brain sees this and starts ranting about unnecessary, money-grab, slight variant sets, while simultaneously the left half of my brain makes a note to pull up this set and add the Braves cards to my wantlist? More importantly, is there medication? ” -jackal726

“ I always liked the really simple design of 2011, I just think it looks nice ” -mkb

Seems like an ok design, nothing special. Maybe it'll grow in popularity over time. To be fair, it's better than most of Topps' recent efforts.

jackal726 makes a good point. I can't help myself sometimes in chasing down these stupid little parallels/variants, especially if they are fairly cheap (nickel and diming oneself through parallel hell is the way I feel about this process). I do actually have this entire Diamond factory variation teamset for my Nationals collection.

Very nice to see this. There was some sort of challenge with the Base Set which awarded a Factory Set. I accomplished the goal and received the Factory Set. I have never opened it and didn't realize it was stamped. I will have to look at the Unopened Set but I would imagine it is stamped. I believe it is labeled a Diamond Anniversary Set.
