Yes. Great start.
imo, the product is really solid.
It's providing something sorely missed in sports cards these days, excitement. Yes they could do a better job with condition. That does not change the fact that tons of beautiful cards are popping out of this product.

Did it meet your collector's fine tastes?

I just don't see this on the level of Exquisite for the price.
I agree with this. In terms of Topps and catching up to UD and their ability to put out a high end product, this is moving in the right direction. There is ZERO and I mean ZERO excuse for the cards to be pulled in the condition they are being pulled in and the price point is insane.
It honestly looks at some cards were teething toys or kids had them in their bike spokes.
those museum collection metal borders would solve all the chipping issues. I wonder how much those cost.
I sold out yesterday. I got it in yesterday. 4 buyers, 9 boxes. I'd say, based on this, yes. They all seemed happy.
I only watched 3 get opened. Big hits were Koufax Au/25, Hamilton Au/1, Harper & Trout Autos. **Every box had 6 cards instead of 5, that was a surprise.
* should hear about more hits today and tomorrow
**there was a redemption card in every pack, and a "base card". I guess that's 5 hits really...

How about limit redemptions... I think every box/case break I've seen has a redemption... I would be PISSED if I dropped $500 on a box and got a f*cking redemption... wait for potentially years to get the card or never and have to trade it in ::facepalm::

I still think is product looks like the Topps Museum from this year. But all in all the product has a good checklist. and some player collectors may shy way for awhile and let prices drop, so they can pick-up their guys and hopefully not have cards with rough edges. I may buy a few singles for some of the board members, but I'm not going in to the box route on this.
Pot, meet kettle....lol
But seriously, product doesn't look bad to me... It just feels like a 500.00 baseball pack cannot possibly yield good value...
Not topps fault, baseball just doesn't deliver the power punch to support a 500.00 pack.. BG

Agree with all of those but this was my first thought seeing the jumbo relics. They look really nice but they would have been instant classics if they had been all patches. Are there even jumbo patches in this? Haven't seen any yet. What's a high end product without jumbo patches? Unless its vintage a jumbo swatch isn't much to jump about in 2012

Well they can't be ALL patches.

At the current price point, they SHOULD be. A more limited production run would make it feasible.
