Bwahaha...one relic window with a single color patch...pathetic.

Back in the day a 1/1 would have a patch in all three relic windows...in fact some that were #d /3 had patches in all three windows back in 2011. Last year 1/1's would only have a patch in one window and now apparently some 1/1's don't have a single patch. This product is really going downhill...getting worse and worse every year with more and more sticker autos. Only the Phenoms are on-card this year.

Yeah, which is sad, because isn't this the most popular of their higher end product? Tribute was downhill this year too... And that checklist... did they simply draw names out of a hat..?

It's almost as though they stopped trying.

TTT has been losing it's popularity over the past few years so I think Five Star has become their most popular high-end product now. I wouldn't suggest buying wax but there are a lot of really good names, all on-card, that you can get relatively cheap on the secondary market.

Look carefully at the middle relic. The top dot of the crown is red, and there is a hint of red on the left edge of the crown. It's a patch. Not a very nice one or properly displayed, but a patch.

That 1/1 reminds me of the line in Tommy Boy - "I could take a dump in a box and mark it guaranteed but all you getting is a guaranteed piece of crap".

I could take a dump in those relic windows and mark them 1/1 . . .

albjohn3 · 09-10-2014, 09:28 AM

Scott Diamond and Ricky Nolasco have autos in this product. Yikes.

gorillaz · 09-10-2014, 10:12 AM

Less jersey more background is sad. Reminds me of '12 prime cuts baseball.

hoopster3977 · 09-10-2014, 10:48 AM

Just more junk that Topps is rolling out.

oclotty · 09-10-2014, 11:25 AM

ITS..... HORRIBLE!Last year was one of my favroites, this year is horrible. The cards look just weird, almost plain. I miss the shiny cards, plus the stickers, Not a fan at all

awz50 · 09-10-2014, 12:57 PM

If he was an all-star this year then he'll have an all-star relic in next year's triple threads. He should have one in this year's Topps Update.

I see it now...still a terrible patch for a 1/1 card. 2012 and earlier all three relic windows had patches with 1/1 relics...and they were usually pretty sick. These past two years only one relic window has a patch and in this case, it's a really crappy patch.

I've seen some 1/1's in 2014 with patch relic in all windows, which is nice to see back. The cards simply look better that way!

I've only seen this in the non-auto relics.
