Topps Triple Threads returns to deliver excitement with each mini box that gets opened. There are 3 base cards in each pack. The cards have a red, circular background with a full-color photo of the player in the forefront. The cards are numbered to 799. There are numerous parallels of the base cards and two will be found in every pack.

The highlight of each pack is the triple relic card (some autographed). The non-auto triple relics are generally numbered to 25 or less. The autoed triple relics are numbered 99 or less. There are numerous combinations of the triple relics to be found from individual to multiple players.

Triple Threads is definitely for those who love a thrill ride when opening a pack of cards. There is a ton of excitement and anticipation as you open each pack mainly for one card. So many possiblities run through your mind and you will go through a wave of emotion from an amazing high to a thunderous low depending on who you see on the card. For those who enjoy a challenge, the base set offers it considering you only get six cards per box. If you enjoy seeking a rush, this product is for you. If not, stick with the secondary market.

Once again, I'd like to thank our wonderful sponsors at Topps for giving us the opportunity to open and review this release. For more information on all their products, be sure to check them out at www.topps.com.

Nice break and review! Definitely seems like a big time hit or miss product...seems like this break was a hit though. Thanks Topps!

I love triple threads... and i love watching it being busted even more!

[CaliforniaSoxfan]

It's true that Triple Threads is a hit and miss product but it's very fun to open and there is always a great chance of pulling a very good low numbered card.
