The player name, position and team logo are in silver foil along the card bottom. The card bottoms are also trimmed with a corresponding team color. The card backs are photo-less. The backs contain moderate biographical information, career statistics and moderate career highlights.

The Hits:
****************************************************************
Museum Collection is Topps' first high-end release of 2015. With only 20 cards per master box collectors buy 2015 Museum Collection for the hits. I really like the mix of retired and current stars. The card stock is thicker than standard sized cards but are not too flashy. The thickness and set name name are the only attributes that portray a premium set. The hits are definitely what collectors are busting cases of product for. I love the fact that every hit is serial numbered. The color and the patch swatches are another huge plus for me. They are a far cry form the plain what and gray swatches that dominate relic cards. The Simmons auto is a sticker while the Rivera is on-card. The sticker does not really detract from the card though. 2015 Topps Museum is a big hit hunter's dream! Buy a box and trade your Tigers cards to me!
The Bottom Line:
I give 2015 Topps Museum Collection a shop around rating. It will take several boxes and/or trading to complete the base set. Even though I had a nice pull, you may be better off buying singles you want.
