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.

RE: 1 2012 Topps Value Blaster, Why do I always get the colts?
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.

RE: 1 2012 Topps Value Blaster, Why do I always get the colts?
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.
