Good luck to everyone ripping Five Star!!! Keep me in mind if you hit any Adrian Gonzalez.

Prospect content rules baseball and this product seems to lack that. I have a feeling this will be a big failure compared to how Five Star does in football.

Good to see Longoria in it, will definetly be picking up his base, and maybe singles if the price isnt too outrageous.

"Eat their face" ...no idea what that means, but I love it. This stuff looks awesome!

Prospects rule the mid market, investment-minded crowd but veterans still rule high end products. Museum Collection, Tribute and Tier One have done well this year. We shall wait and see but I don't forsee people being able to justify buying at this price point for any rookies outside of Darvish, Trout and an already highly produced Harper.

You must be mistaken. Ever heard of tribute, tier one or museum collection? Baseball veterans and HOFers outsell football vets and HOFers by a wide margin.

I was about to say I was surprised nobody had commented on that yet

Also, I think he started writing "Eat THERE Face" and had to look it up

Zombie bump to point out...

...Topps just filled three Felix Hernandez patch/auto cards from

2012

Five Star according to their latest redemption report.

Felix Hernandez had on-card, patch cards in 2016 Five Star.

Why did it take 6 years for these other cards to be filled?

I'm still miffed at Topps for the replacement process on my 2013 Ripken Five Star, but glad to see other "lost" cards still coming through the pipeline.

At first I was wondering why bump a 6 year old thread...but that's a heck of a Felix, congrats!

Sidenote, glancing through old threads provides humor like this lovely, irony filled post...

Lol, at old posts...and Prospect Rush!!!

Alas, I wish that was my Felix, but it's not. Just wanted to illustrate that he has on-card autographed patch cards in a Topps product after 2012. Maybe Topps just found his 2012 Five Star cards in their undoubtedly well-organized inventory.
