So as most of you know, I mainly collect basketball; however, in an attempt to get some bait to get some ohio state football autos, I picked up my first-ever football hobby product today: 2012 Topps Platinum.
Amazingly, I managed a feat that is near impossible in the hobby today: I opened a box of cards and did not get 1 single, solitary numbered card.
I chose Platinum over Rookies and Stars for 2 reasons: One, I like the look better, and two, I wanted to avoid a redemption, so naturally my rookie patch auto was a redemption.
I also went the entire box w/o a single Luck or RGIII, not even a base RC. I pulled the short-print RGIII RC from an Upper Deck blaster and sold it for double what the blaster cost!
In any event, here are the notable nonscanned "hits", everything is FS (preferably) or FT for Ohio State auto/GU cards.
Red parallels: Brady, Rodgers, Witten, Jennings, Stafford, Eli Manning, Gronk
Rcs: Alshon Jeffrey, Matt Kalil, Weeden
Black RC: A.J. Jenkins
X-fractor RCs: Ronnie Hillman
now the scanned hits. Honestly the die-cut Lamichael James looks awesome, just a pretty lousy box overall, so everybody go buy a box it's bound to be better than this one!

I collect Michael Jordan, Mitch Richmond, and Ohio State players (football and basketball) in OSU gear. I strongly prefer 90's-era cards and use newer cards primarily for trade bait!
