Box Breakdown:
Set - 20/200 (10% complete)
Dupes - 0

I like what they have done with this product with a guaranteed Jersey or auto per pack. For the set collectors this may be a tough one as out of 1/2 a box we were able to put 10% of the set together. For the Auto and Game used big hit chaser this product is a home run.


Final Ratings (Out of 5):
Base - 4 Love the Picture Design
Fun - 4 With a hit every pack how could it not
Overall Design - 4 Pictures are awesome
Value - 4 Auto or Game used a pack
Rebuy - 3 Nice Autos and Jersey's

Final Grade - 19/25 (76%)

Topps has come back with Stadium Club in style. With an Auto or Game used hit per pack will sure make this a hobby favorite. Overall the products wonderful pictures and the hobby favorite 1st day issues back its sure to be a hit. In the 5 packs I broke I hit 3 Autos and 2 Game used with one being Chris Long the #1 pick of the St. Louis Rams.

I would say this is a buy for the collector who loves to hit a auto or game used in every pack they open.. The down side to this product is anything that is serial #'d seems to be around 1500. Value of cards like that will never hold and make it into your 50 cent and dollar boxes in time.

I like the product and a auto or game used hit per pack makes the product very attractive!!

I would like to Thank our sponsor Topps for providing us this box to review!!

Thanks for the review...I broke 2 boxes and really enjoyed this product...of course that's because I think I was real lucky with the boxes.

The first box contained autos of: Matt Forte, Jordy Nelson & Felix Jones #'d to 25 along with a McFadden GU and a Dual Thomas Jones/Leon Washington GU #'d to 50.

The second box contained autos of: Jonathan Stewart, Chris Johnson, Malcom Kelly, Vernon Gholston and Josh Johnson.

So again, I think I beat the odds on these especially when it comes to players I am collecting.

I have not been able to find anything regarding the Print Run of the base RC/AU's. On most of them I have only seen 10 or so go off on Ebay so far. Does anyone have any information on these print runs?

Thanks,

Joe
