There's nothing like getting some cheap cards on clearance at Wal-Mart! Some fat packs of 2017 Topps Series 2 were available, so I decided to take another look at the infamous "grid iron" set.

We kick things off with an amazing dive by George Springer. You just have to love those flying through the air shots!

| 2017 Topps - Memorable Moments #MM-30 Miguel Cabrera |
Despite it's unappealing base design, the 2017 set had some fantastic inserts. I've always enjoy cards showing a player with an award they've won. For my money, being handed an actual crown has to be the coolest!

| 2017 Topps - All-Star Game MVP #ASM-12 Ken Griffey Jr. |
It's deja vu all over again! You can just go ahead and reread my previous remarks about great inserts and my appreciation of players with awards. The man, the myth, the legend Ken Griffey Jr gives us a good look at the glass monolith he received for winning the 1992 All-Star Game MVP award.

That Springer is cool. Topps seems to always capture some awesome action shots for those Astros outfielders.
