2012 Five Star - 2 Boxes

Chrome was a lot of fun to watch break, as was Five Star, so I personally would go for one of them.
Avoid Topps Magic Hobby like the plague! There were 5 cards out of 3 cases I saw opened of that which booked for more then 3 bucks! 2 coin cards and 2 Kaepernick autos! Can't even remember the other one...
Valor was pretty cool, and the tins the cards come in were pretty neat. Prime Sigs are VERY hit or miss. More miss than hit though. Don't know about Finest, Supreme or Gridiron.

In my opinion, avoid the Gridiron gear. Even when you do pull a hit, the patch is normally one-color. I also agree on the Magic - don't waste your $. Five Star is pretty nice, as is the Valor. Use that money to but more of those. I bought a lot of the 2011 Supreme and liked it, but didnt buy much of the 2012. Prime sigs, as mentioned, very hit/miss. I suggest only buying a few. You'll wind up thanking us.

I really like the Supreme and Five Star, very nice products. The Prime Signatures like every has said is very hit or miss with a lot of missing lol I got lucky and pulled a Peyton Manning Auto printing plate out of 11 and a gold Doug Martin out of 12, but I would suggest them unless you were buying a full 30 box case lol

I really like Supreme. Lots of nice higher end cards, which is great since thats what you're looking for. The cards look real nice and slick. Also chrome was a personal favorite. Those cards always look great... I just can't find anymore 2012 boxes anywhere anymore.

What everyone is saying is pretty close but Five Star is hit or miss too. I personally like, and had really good luck with the 2012 Crown Royale, 2012 Limited, and 2013 Topps Prime.
