WHAT WE PULLED

Base (6)
Purple /320 (2): Arian Foster, Justin Blackmon
Green /170 (1): Julio Jones
Sepia /99 (1): Antonio Gates





Triple Threads gets a facelift in football. A complete overhaul of the box and card design. Still unsure on the non-numbering of the base cards for a high-end product, but that's a minor thing. Stellar look now after a few mundane years. The 100-card base set contains six parallels of each card numbered to 320 or less.

Autographed Relic Double Combo Gold Booklet Tavon Austin/DeAndre Hopkins/Cordarrelle Patterson/Justin Hunter/Robert Woods/Aaron Dobson Redemption /18



Markus Wheaton Emerald Triple Relics /18



Joseph Randle Emerald Rookie Autographed Relic /50



Cordarrelle Patterson Gold Rookie Jumbo Relics /25



Each box of Triple Threads contains four hits breaking down to 1 relic, 1 auto relic, 1 triple relic and 1 auto triple relic. Everything is numbered to 99 or less. There is a myriad of sets and combinations to be found. Mutil-player booklets are back. Beware of the redemptions though.

FINAL THOUGHTS

Base - 4/5
Design - 5/5
Fun - 5/5
Value - 4/5
Rebuy - 3.5/5

Overall - 21.5/25 (86%)
