2008 was the third year of Topps' mid-high end product. This wasn't Topps' most premium brand at the time, that was Sterling, but Triple Threads was a close second. It's a set that's composition really hasn't changed much since it was first introduced in 2006. The base cards in the 2008 set have this bumpy texture to them which is kind of odd, but I love that the serial numbering is huge. I also like the vintage image used for the card and we can date the image to sometime pre-1978 from the uniform and batting helmet.
Additionally while the backs are pretty much a right-off, the card number is large and the back is colored to match the parallel and isn't just a back used across all the parallels like alot of Topps' sets today.
Interesting triple take
