I think Score has/will hit a Home Run with this product. You have to get the next generation involved in the hobby for it to continue to survive and thrive. I don’t see many parents dropping the $3.19 for one pack of cards at Target, which will almost certainly not have anything of real value. Panini has it right with Score Football, and it even has wicked awesome stuff in it (printing plates? autos!?) all for a buck a pack. Now they’re focusing that directly at kids, which is just phenomenal. I hope this product is well received, because it is sorely needed. The above poster who said he’d grab a pack or two for his kids and let them rip some wax and do what they want with the cards? Awesome. I think that’s what they’re aiming for and I hope there are more like you that do that.

When I was a kid the only thing I wanted were Rated rookies from 86-87-88

Triple Play has some interesting elements, especially for children who want to collect cards, but are on an allowance, like I was. I like to think, that it is akin to the Panini Euro Stickers set, and could be enjoyable to collect by people of every age. No, this isn’t for me, but I might pick up some of the Eye Black cards, cause I’m a geek like that!

Triple Play is a much needed product for the kids at a realistic price point. The sketches are great and should draw in the kids.

Well w/o Team Logos it probably still won’t appeal to kids. Most kids care more about Teams not players. Just going by my kids and when I first started collecting as a kid.

I think that it is great that a company is focusing on kids again, and not on card values or a big profit. Kids will once again be able to afford a few packs every now and then. I know kids will love the sticker inserts. These packs will get kids hooked again, without spending a ton of money. I am going to get some for my little brothers and see what they think.
Happy Hunting!

I like this release for what it is. A fun and simple feel to it. It would be something I pick up a pack for my 2 sons ages 1 and 2. As they like to watch me bust my pack as i can give them there own when i stop by for some retail stuff and they can carry them around and do as they please for the price it’s great. Remember when it was all done in fun and not to chace the card to make us some money. back when you pulled a card number to 10,000 was a great hit. Bring it back to those times minus the over prodution.

The look of the base set and hall of fame inserts are best parts of this product. That Jeter card is almost too cute but I like the concept. I wish we knew the size of the base set because the Jeter card is number 286 which makes me believe the set is rather large when you add up all the subsets .

With all the hype Darvish is getting in Topps products, the one Darvish card that really stands out is his Triple Play card. I will buy a box of this product just to pick up that card.
