This set is on fire (no pun intended).
I purchased one retail hanger box of 2014 Topps Fire Football for $9.82 which contains at least 72 cards. That's a bargain considering this series was printed on a higher quality stock than Topps lower end series which also includes 72 cards in its hanger boxes.

Insert Cards
-
CF-RN - Aaron Rodgers / Jordy Nelson
Rodgers and Nelson is arguably the most dominant QB/WR combination in the league today.
-
FF-BS - Bishop Sankey
I normally don't like die-cut cards, but this card is sick. Sankey finished the 2014 season with 569 yards and 2 touchdowns.
-
OOW-JC - Jadeveon Clowney
Clowney was the number one pick during the 2014 NFL Draft. He finished his rookie season with only 7 tackles because he required surgery to repair his meniscus. What a bummer.
-
Flame Foil 10 - Demaryius Thomas
Thomas recorded his 3rd consecutive 1,000 yard season in 2014.
-
Flame Foil 16 - Percy Harvin
Harvin has played for four teams since 2009 (Minnesota Vikings, Seattle Seahawks, New York Jets and Buffalo Bills). Go figure...
-
Flame Foil 50 - Jimmy Graham
Graham was traded to the Seattle Seahawks after the 2014 season.
-
Flame Foil 96 - A.J. Green
Green recorded his 4th consecutive 1,000 yard season in 2014.
-
Purple 146 - Jarvis Landry (serial numbered 312/499)
Landry finished his rookie 2014 season with 758 yards for 5 touchdowns.
-
Blue 29 - Montee Ball (serial numbered 122/299 | retail hanger box odds 1:2)
Ball suffered a groin injury in week 5 during the 2014 season which pretty much ended his season.
This set looks fantastic! I give Topps credit for thinking outside the box, which is nice surprise considering most trading card sets these days are conservative.
