Blow out has them for just under $180. Looking at the checklist for the autos, I'm reasonably happy with what I see. By happy I mean that the players are mostly known, but sadly at $50/per there are only a few that make you money. These being Pujols, Hank Aaron, Koufax,Manny Pacquiao(boxer) That are several that are close and many who, while not money makers, will make some people happy. (Assuming that the better players are not short printed) The Jumbo relics, with players such as Ted Williams, Mantle, Aaron should do well. The patches potentially insanely so, but sadly they only exist for modern era players. The "legend" quad relics will do very well indeed, with names like Ruth, Gehrig, Foxx,Cobb, and Mantle. Sadly, I see nothing in the way of rookies or the like. No Harper or Strasburg. Conclusion, a product that will be close to the order of 2005 Playoff Absolute, not quite as good for real old school, but on card autos will help. $25/pack = bargain, $35 = decent, $50 = not so much. Gamblers will be happy, at least until the Cobb 1/1 get shown off as being pulled. On card fans will be happy as they flood ebay for the lower end players at $10-$15 for most. If there are no redemptions, it might be a box worth putting away. Well, looking at Blowout cards, I’d say if it’s under $100 grab it.

That seems quite low considering other products at this pricepoint. MUCH better bang for your buck. I am seeing these presell for about $90 a box.

You have a display box which has 4 mini boxes. Each box will include one on-card autograph, on autographed multi-piece Relic, one jumbo Relic and one quad Relic. So figure one per mini box spread. I think they could have cut out one or two of the parallels, or made them scarcer. The bowman chrome way of 1/1, 1/5, 1/50 seems pretty popular. You have to figure the 4 packs will be in the $40-$50 range, unless they think tribute is mid range, in which case $75-$100 which will be too high given the number of people in it. (75 players, rookies and veterans. And, the top people will be SP'd) Ty Cobb name would be cool, but I’d sell it to get his auto if I pulled it.

I will probably pick some up though. : ) These do look very nice, but what do they consider “mid range price point” and it appears that the relic cards will not receive the on card auto treatment.

Perhaps it is Topps way of giving back to the dealers in the form of detectable hits, just like the coin cards in Heritage. I'll be honest though I wouldn't call the dealers crooked for taking advantage of that situation. I agree, the metal frame is stupid, so easily searched.
