Are we seriously going to start this discussion again, this set looks worse than last year. But I guess if you like crap spelled out in a confusing way through stupid looking diecut windows, while printed on bright orange rainbow foilboard, this **** is for you. Personally, I dont like my cards so jam packed with swatches that the player picture is the same size as the logo for the set. Maybe Topps should figure out what was so nicely done about base and chrome, and use those elements to produce a set that focuses less on cleaning out the jersey room and more on giving us stuff that actually looks good.

Also, enough with charging $170+ MSRP for 1 auto, especially when that auto can be a non-premiere scrub RC. This stuff is only eclipsed in crappiness by Lettermen's sticker autos on manu-letters. That was a true abomination, this is more just crap for the blind. I mean, that Bradshaw card sure has a lot of touchy feely parts to it - PERFECT!

I don't have as much of a problem with the design as I do the price point. It's something different. I don't mind the die-cut windows as I mentioned in the preview. I don't like the design enough to have ever bought a single Triple Threads card or pack, but I don't hate it either.

However, as Gellman pointed out, the price is just way too high for what you get. If this product could be bought for right around $90-$100 the day it came out, I might feel a little better about it. Of course, I'm willing to bet that even if this product were free Gellman would run far far away from it.

In case you can't tell by my sig, I like to pick up Triple Threads singles when I can.

The thing I dislike about them is the foldout cards. Just not my style of collecting to have something like that, so I'm a little disappointed to see they increased the amount of those available. However, I know I could just pawn them off so I can live with it.

The price is a little high imo, so I'll just stick to getting singles if I see any I like.
