One Last Impassioned Plea for Topps Platinum

I'm not exaggerating when I say that this is the most loaded retail product ever. Out of two blasters and a handful of packs I've pulled two rookie autographed patch cards (including one of ROY Percy Harvin), tons of big name rookies (Stafford, Sanchez, Maclin, McCoy, Harvin, Cushing, Curry, Orakpo, etc), and this gorgeous Javon Ringer Red Refractor RC #10/25 that I scored yesterday. If I were looking to flip these cards (I'm not), I would easily make my money back. How often can you say that about blasters? I'm not getting compensated by Topps for this advertisement (although it sure seems like it), but rather just trying to help fellow collectors find a fun (and valuable) alternative to their usual card purchases.

I know that not everyone who reads this blog collects football cards (and that's okay), but if you do, you'd have to be crazy to pass up the chance to buy one of these blasters. The base cards are well designed and shiny, there's at least one rookie card per pack and you've got a great chance to walk away with an autograph or patch card from a diverse and talented group of players (Dan Marino, Adrian Peterson, Dwayne Bowe, etc.) I'm not saying you need to rush out and buy one, but if you find yourself at Target sometime soon, why not try something new and exciting rather than another ho-hum blaster of Heritage? Just my two cents...

  1. I'd like nothing more than to pick up one of these... if only I wasn't 8000 miles from the nearest Target...

  2. I concur Bud my boy...2 blasters, 2 white refractors of top rookies (Collie and McCoy) and a Red Refractor Auto #'d to 25 (McGee). Easily made my $40 back and still have some Hakeem Nicks rookies and parallels for the PC

  4. My luck on these has come to a screeching halt. Two more blasters and nothing worth mentioning. It was fun while it lasted.
