I think Topps and Panini are overloading their products with the Colts this year. The 2 Playbook cases I saw recently had 2 Luck auto patch books, 2 Fleener jersey books, 2 Hilton jersey books, a Luck jersey book, and 2 regular rookie autos (can't remember their names at the moment). The Rams are in almost absolutely everything I've watched break as well.

Hilton's not a bad guy to pull though.

If you got an auto out of one of those boxes you did good - to get a good player (T.Y. Hilton had a strong rookie year and was definitely coming on at the end of the year) on a team which is in my opinion ready for success, If you think that Andrew Luck is the real deal, you should be fine with pulling a player who is likely to be one of his top targets for the next couple of years at least. Hilton is also a very good punt returner as well.
The Colts have a lot of players showing up because look at their draft - first round, quarterback - obviously Luck was going to the rookie premiere. Second round - tight end - first pick of the second round. Third round, tight end and wide receiver. They also drafted a running back and a second quarterback. The rookie premiere this year was entirely offensive skills players - so a team which drafted QB, TE, TE, WR is going to get a lot of people there. Card companies now are mainly producing cards of offensive skills guys - hence a team which drafted 6 offensive skills players is going to have a lot of cards for them.

It took me 6 boxes before I even got an auto or a RG3 refractor. I also got a Colt but mine was Coby fleener and it was just a reg. auto. I'd rather have gotten you're card.

hey you guys need to quit complaining! As a colts collector I busted and busted this year and didn't get squat for colts! lol

Really, swjrp? You should have been on the breaks I've been in on. I've seen probably around 10 or so Luck autos in the last 2 months. Just in the 2 cases I was in on for Playbook there was one of the acrylic auto patch books #d to 140 and one #d to 49! Not to mention the other Colts hits in those cases, either. Seems like, for some reason, the Chicago area seems to get a bunch of Colts hits in their cases (that's where the guys are that I break with), or maybe it's where they get their cases from...

I personally wasn't complaining, I was just saying what I've gotten so far.
