Topps 5 star design

[markakis8]

Some people open product because it's fun.

Hey that's great. If they have the money, more power to them. But my original comment wasn't never directed at the buyer, it was at the product Topps is producing. It's a slaughterhouse out there.

Tony, heartyourlife, from what I know,has a very nice collection. We have bumped heads on ebay and on rare occasion sold each other cards.......nice guy.

Glad to see you posting.

Thought boxes were $500?

2012 TOPPS FIVE STAR BASEBALL HOBBY BOX - 5 STAR - BRAND NEW AND READY TO SHIP!

 

[markakis8]

I saw a box opened on video where the autos were: Will Middlebrooks, Vida Blue, Giancarlo Stanton, Bill Buckner with a Cliff Lee jumbo jersey.


Brutal right? Imagine spending $500 to get that.

Then I saw a box with Koufax auto, Mike Schmidt auto, Ryan Braun auto, Matt Kemp auto, and David Ortiz jumbo jersey. Better right? Still not selling those cards for $500 and that might be one of the best player selections you can get.

My #1 question for Topps is why are there jumbo jerseys in this product? Jumbo patch is absolute bottom line acceptable.

For a $500/pack product there should only be patches.

The "swatches" are ridiculous. It's as if Topps has never seen UD Exquisite or National Treasures? These guys have all the ammo in the world and fire a gun like Elmer Fudd.

Here are a couple of box breaks on youtube. The condition of these cards look horrible. Dinged corners and chipping alongside the cards. I'm glad I didn't buy a box of this stuff. Topps should be ashamed of themselves.

Only watched the first two videos and he was like "OK, well redemption in EVERY box" and he is commenting on how every freaking card is chipped and how you should be happy for a redemption because Topps will probably send in mint... terrible... thanks for posting these videos because it's taken the edge off wanting to buy a box for $500 and stick to picking up the Belle cards on the cheap.

I think he mentions the condition so that the buyer is aware of the condition and the poor condition doesn't get blamed on the seller/box breaker.

You're right... I'm pointing out that it's THAT bad nearly on every card that he has to point it out... usually if you watch his breaks rarely does he have to point out something that he deems to be something that could come back to him as him damaging the cards.

I don't like that many of the pictures being used have already been on cards in the past. It's quite annoying and seems to be an ongoing trend with each new product

Funny you say that because I can't speak for other players cards but the pictures on the Belle cards have ALL been used before and literally this year, specifically Tribute and Topps base for me.

'12 Five Star... Meet '12 Tribute

VERSUS

 

[PadresFan86]

Tribute looks so much better.

Tribute looks so much better.

Couldn't agree with you more. Probably my fav looking set from this year.
