The looks of all of the cards are pretty sweet, but this product just doesn't deliver like I think some of the future release. My first impression was that the base cards are sweet. These are some of the best looking base cards that I have ever seen. You also get a couple of parallels in each Pack/Box and they aren't too shabby either. The numbering scheme is kind of silly being 252, 123, 75, 50, 25 and 1/1. The downfall of the product is that it is so rookie heavy and before pre-season or any action in the football year leaves this a top heavy product as well. It seems as if you do not hit an RG3, Luck or Richardson that your case was pretty much a loss.
Out of 5 cases we hit 1 Andrew Luck auto patch, 0 RG3 auto's and 0 Richardson auto's. This left much to be desired as the cases we opened were kind of blah. We did hit a Stephen Hill 1/1 auto and an Antonio Gates 1/1 parallel, but the other low #'d stuff was very mediocre (as of right now).
The teams that seemed to do the best were the mediocre teams where if you hit them in a team draw you'd be disappointed but would still hold out hope as there are chances to get an auto. Out of 5 cases 4 of the teams got 3 or more auto patch rookies. Those being the Panthers (Joe Adams) Texans (Devier Posey), Ravens (Bernard Pierce redemption) and Rams (Chris Givens). With only around 40 patch auto's this was 40 % of the auto patches from the whole break.
Here are some of the highlights from the break:
In conclusion this break was definitely a fun break. It is one of the best things to break in a group break due to the amount of hits that most of the teams got. However, if you're trying to break this and hope for your money back, it's very top heavy. It's a tough product especially if breaking a single box, much less a case. This will change as some rookies will shine, but at this point it's not worth breaking outside of a group break environment.
