2013-2015 was the best design.

Why do they advertise using a photoshopped light exposed blue ink auto? You don't want your autos to look like this. Unfortunately the market is fascinated with the inferior blue pen autos which wont hold up nearly as well as a proper black pen.

Pre-orders are out.

at $240 is this a good price? I mean $110 for logofractors, everything is just so pricey these days.

2023 sell for over $300?

So I guess?

I'd take a blue pen over a fat, blobby gold or silver paint pen that a lot of the manufacturers seem to be obsessed with these days.

I was at the card shop w my son and a couple of his teammates yesterday, bought a box of this as didn't see much else I wanted. Pulled a beautiful gary sheffield 1/1 auto w an amazing braves game used patch. Was disappointed the other card in the box was also a gary sheffield auto, from his time w the dodgers which I have to admit I didn't even remember. Love the 1st card but really disappointed to get 2 of same player in such a pricey box.

who is paying $325 a box for this garbage?

Houdini's 2 case break was a massive loser.
One Elly auto and one Skenes redemption, otherwise horrendous.

great way to turn $5,000 into $1,000

I'm definitely not a breaker. I guess I bought the box in a gambling mood based around cards, but then aren't all boxes bought that way, some just cost more than others.

They're all photoshops of the auto onto the cards. Those mockups always have that kind of look.

Sheffield was a Dodger for twice as long as he was a Brave. He was baseball’s version of a hired gun. But anyways if you’re interested in moving it I’d potentially be interested.

There are never any sticker autos in this…that alone makes it one of the best products every year.

That is a great point and a big reason why I like Five Star more than similar products like Museum Collection, Tier One, Triple Threads etc. I do think Topps needs to pare their high end offerings
