2011 Topps Tier One = Tier NONE...

[heartyourlife]

For the price, this product is an epic fail.

Best cards in a case break were:

Tier One Adrian Gonzalez Auto #/99 (case hit)
DiMaggio Single Bat Relic #/399
Ruth Single Bat Relic #/399

At least Triple Threads stops at #/99, but with about 500+ bat relic cards for HOFer's, the value isn't there...

No "star" autos except Elvis Andrus (redemption) and the best rookie auto was a Kimbrel #/699...

No patch cards, no multiple auto card...plently of no name autos and $1 jersey cards.

For a retail price of over $80 a pack, you better get EXTREMELY lucky to even come close to recouping money.

Total disappointment...

Anyone else had similar experiences, or hopefully a better one?

I think triple threads is a little deceptive with all of the variations of the same card. That being said, this stuff looks pretty bad.

i stopped after one box. i had planned on more, but a friend and I each opened one box and they both SUCKED.

I will agree that TT goes a bit far on the whole parallel level thing, but if you add up all the various levels for a single card(/99, /75, /50, /25, /10), there are still less total cards than the #/399 level in Tier One. And the #/99 parallel level cards are typically rookies or average players, not players like Ruth or DiMaggio.

Not impressed at all...

If you don't mind me asking, what was the price of the box?

How do the cards look in hand. On a whim I ended up winning an Upton purple /25 that I thought I'd lose on for sure and I'm curious what the quality of the cards are.

Any Guyers or Storens?

Can someone point me to the product that isnt hard to recoup your money in one box?

 

[heartyourlife]

I put all my pulls on Ebay, didn't even make back half of my money. The most pathetic part in my mind is that my case "hit" (AGon auto) sold for less than some of my regular hits (Ruth bat, DiMaggio bat). You'd think case hits on a $900+ case would be "worth" more than $25...

Epic fail Topps, epic fail...
