That's what 2012 Topps Football is in August of 2013. Way, way, way WAY old news. Like, there are rookies in this set that are already working at Burger King by now. Also, the crappy giveaway site already expired.
So we're going through some pretty old stuff, but still, there's a chance to get a nice hit, plus some cool inserts. Since I'm guessing you all have seen the base cards, I won't go into too much detail, though I will highlight the inserts and nice pulls.

So, there was a Matt Ryan jersey card, and a bunch of inserts, but that was about it. Tomorrow, we break Archives.
Not bad for a hobby box. I'm a big Bengals fan, and it looks like you got the full set and most of the inserts. I'd take it and consider it a good day.
