That is a product I would like to see again.

Expensive as heck, but the various video on youtube were fun to watch.

Liked it when all hits were numbered to 10 or less, not when they added a card or two and started numbering them to like 50.

I LOVE going back and watching old box break videos of that stuff. It looks like some pretty cool cards.

If Topps put it out again with the same amount of plain jersey and bat chip cards at the same price point, these boards would go berserk. Nice looking cards themselves but the actual value was awful.

Ah, yes. The one wax rip that will forever haunt me...

At the time, was the most expensive box/pack I had ever opened. Picked up one box, didn't like the "feel" it was giving off, so went with another & pulled a Duke Snider box. Basic 3 jersey auto /10.

The box I put back? I was forced to watch a Babe Ruth cut auto come out of it.

Just look on the bright side. With the all the info coming out lately about Babe Ruth autos it was probably fake. So cheer up:)!

I loved this product. It was done right too. Makes me sad to think about it.

I would still have nightmares about that.

Not to mention it was even worse with variations than Dynasty.

Loved this product as well. Still have the three empty boxes in my old room at home.

Had one of my best pulls ever. A Gary Carter bat barrel 1/1 book. Breathtaking.

I love the themes and the endless possibilities, but $200+ for two relics /10 with no auto, or 1 sticker auto and a jersey was a big flaw for the price tag.

Dynasty is pretty much Sterling without the base

Also one of the subsets in chrome looks like those base cards too btw

I disagree, I hate the monochromatic style of Dynasty but love Topps Sterling. I can't criticize too much though as I think by and large, Topps design this year has been top notch. I wish they would do less horizontal cards and less sticker autos but that is personal taste and being nit picky.

This just went totally overlooked.

How much was it a box? I just watched this and thought I ran into Beavis and Butthead.

I made a trade with a guy for some Sterling. It'll be posted in the B/S/T section tomorrow. Nice stuff, some 1/1's, Mantle, DiMaggio ect.

That's Cisco. He's a member here. A very nice dude. A generous guy too. He does a lot for the comic junkies.

2006 with their on card autos and barrels and 2007 with their hof lettermans are the best years in my opinion
