Completed set: 2011 Topps Kimball Champions

Back in May of this year, I picked up the last card I needed to knock the 2011 Kimball Champions. It was a set that wasn't much on my radar until I picked up a mass of minis from my LCS two and a half years ago. From that box, I built the entire update series of Kimballs and about half the set that was seeded in packs of series 1 and 2. Having that many cards helped me better appreciate the minis, so set out building it.

When I posted the final card, I said I would scan the set at a later date. No better day than today for 10 scans.

Best looking card:  Campanella - page 5, middle row, far right
Worst looking card: Stanton - page 2, bottom row, middle card
How did he get in the set card: Drabek - page 10, middle row, middle card
Favorite card: Aparicio (Sox) - page 5, top row, 2nd card from left

It's a nice set. Glad I completed it. And I wish the Muppets did a a more obvious Queen song to fit this post, but this will do.
