5 on the 5: 2010 Topps Opening Day

on February 28th, 2010 by madding

I made two rather embarrassing baseball card purchases today, but I’m not ready to call this one the most embarrassing. As much as there is to dislike about the Opening Day set overall, I was disappointed when it was cancelled last year. Call me a su…
