I opened up 5 boxes of Topps newest “high end “product and my first impression is that as far as higher end products go, I still like Triple threads the best. I think they are nice looking cards but nothing seemed to “pop” for me while I was opening them. I would say unless you are addicted to breaking wax (like me) I would just chase after the cards you want from this product. Most everything will be for trade.

Box #5 was a nice one if you're a Cardinals fan. Not sure I have much to offer but you could look at me for the three Cardinals.

I'm interested in the Juan Gonzalez if you feel like moving it.

Pm sent. Thanks.

That is one awesome Nolan Ryan, Rob! Congrats!

What's a box of that go for?

Looks like a different version of 5 Star. I think I will save my money. The coallation could be better as well, two autos of two of the same players out of 5 boxes?

Glad I saw your post! Was pondering buying a box. No thanks now! Not for that price atleast.

If you don't get a deal done for the Ozzie AU, I'd be interested. Thanks!

Always interested in Severino, if I have anything in my ORG that you'd consider. Nice looking cards. Which set did this new product replace and how much was a box?

[BGS_Graded_Card_Guy]

For those of you wondering, a big website that starts with "DA" has them as follows:

2016 Topps Legacies of Baseball Hobby Box

8 packs per box, 4 cards per box. 2 Autograph cards per box. 1 Vault Metal card per box.
$184.95

Just speaking for myself, but color me unimpressed for $185 a box. Not saying that is what you paid for them, but I really don't see a lot of return on those 5 boxes. And if they are going to charge that much....COME ON TOPPS! Sending out one of the autos (Wong) with a big streak in it is unacceptable. This is not even my box and it pisses me off. The QC person at Topps should have thought "Sum Ting Wong" with this Wong. (for those of you that don't get that joke, youtube it)

I know I am going to regret this (as I have been sticking only to graded BGS autos lately and staying away from breaking new wax) but I did preorder some boxes of "The Mint" from Topps in August. Thanks Matt (HOF collector) for turning me onto it in your other forum post....dirty dog.... I will post them once I break them but I know it is going to be a dumpster fire and just make me angry. Which I will blame Matt for all over again for mentioning it on these boards
