I've been excited about this product and am still gauging whether to purchase a box or two. I did buy a couple of singles, but had a couple questions I'm hoping to get input on:
1) On the Relic/Auto cards, the front says "Game-Used Memorabilia". However on the back it notes that "relic contained in this card is not from any season, game, or event"? So are relics from these cards game-used or manufactured?
For the supposedly top of the line product like this, Topps should have had relics with the specifically noted game that it was used in. I think doing so would revitalize the desire for patch/relic cards. To me having a patch from the jersey that Halladay threw a perfect game would be worth more than an auto.
2) Why doesn't the Baseball Five Star have autographed base cards like in their Football product? It's a shame that great rookies like Harper, Darvish and Cespedes don't have auto true RCs from this set.
