Default Tristar TNA Xtreme



Tristar TNA Xtreme
Configuration: 6 cards per pack. 20 packs per box.


Tristar presents their latest release of TNA wrestling cards. TNA Xtreme introduces the TNA debut cards of Mickie James, Cookie, Robbie E, Sabu, Al Snow, and Jason Hervey. The 100 card base set showcases a lineup of current TNA wrestlers, debuting TNA stars, former ECW wrestlers, and more.


CONTENT HIGHLIGHTS:
- 7 Guaranteed Hits Per Box
- 2 Autographed Cards: Numbered to 99 or less
- 1 TNA Event Used Memorabilia Card: Numbered to 199 or less
- 2 Parallel Cards: Numbered to 40 or less
- 1 Jeff Hardy Art Card
- 1 TNA Obak Card


TNA Xtreme showcases action photos, Hardcore Justice Pay Per View recaps, pop culture cards, and wrestler thoughts in this card set. Tristar has improved their TNA product with solid photography, a cleaner looking card design, and an amazing variety of autographs and event used memorabilia. Debuting in this Tristar TNA product are Jeff Hardy Art Cards, Lovely Locks Hair Cards, and Sting Authentic Face Paint Cards. The box is serial numbered 2382/2400.


Box Break


Base Cards



We pulled a complete 100 card base set from the box including 11 duplicate cards. All cards have a glossy finish to it. The Tristar logo is on the bottom left corner with the TNA Xtreme name on the top right corner of the card. There is a barb wire line that runs across the top right and bottom of the card. The name of each wrestler is on the bottom in white font. The back of the cards have a brief wrestling biography of the wrestler featured.




Parallel Cards

Brother Ray Parallel #14/40 & Tara Parallel #14/40



The parallel cards depict the base cards with a silver TNA logo on the top left side of the card. The card is serial numbered on the back in silver font. Both of our parallel cards were numbered #14/40.


Obak Card



The Obak cards have a vintage feel to it. The card has a white background with black borders around the photo. The title Tristar Obak is on the top left corner of the card. The name of the wrestler featured and the word TNA Wrestling is in black font.


Jeff Hardy Art Card



Each Art Card was designed by Jeff Hardy himself and inserted 1 per box. There are 10 different Art Cards in the set, card numbers #101-110.


Event Used Memorabilia Card

Kurt Angle Shirt #42/50


We pulled this sweet looking Event Used Shirt worn by Kurt Angle. The photo of the wrestler featured is on the right side of the Jumbo Swatch. There are gold borders above the wrestler's name. The card is serial numbered on the back in gold font.


Autographed Cards

Christy Hemme Autograph #33/99


Nova Autograph #3/5!!!


The autographs are stickered and placed on the right side of the card. The left side of the card has a photo of the wrestlers featured. The Christy Hemme Autograph has gold glittering on the top and bottom of the card. The card is serial numbered on the back in gold font. The Nova Autograph has red glittering on the top and bottom of the card. The card is serial numbered on the back in red font.


Printing Plate

Kurt Angle Printing Plate #1/1!!!



We pulled a Kurt Angle Cyan Printing Plate #1/1. This was one of the actual plates used to print the base cards. Printing Plates are inserted 3 per hobby case.


Final Thoughts

Tristar has improved their TNA product once again with the release of TNA Xtreme. They have taken the feel of ECW and TNA Hardcore Justice to use as a theme to design this set. The base cards depict some great wrestling shots and it was nice to include cards for all the Hardcore Justice event matches. I like the look of the new innovations for this set: the Jeff Hardy Art Cards, Lovely Locks Hair Cards, and Sting Authentic Face Paint Cards. The hits in this box were amazing. It is always nice to pull a Christy Hemme Autograph. The Nova Autograph is numbered out of only 5! I really like how the Event Used Cards have Jumbo Swatches rather than a small swatch. The best pull of the box was hands down the Kurt Angle Printing Plate #1/1! Thanks Tristar for another amazing TNA product.


Here is how I would rate this product:

Value = 5
Innovation = 5
Fun and Experience = 5
Rebuy Value = 5

I rate this product an A+ for Tristar!


NPN:

There is no NPN for this product


I would like to thank Tristar & Card Collectors World for giving me the chance to review this new product. Be on the look out for future contests with cards from this box break.

Wow! What a spectacular box, and product. The hits were rediculous, and you got an extra one being the cyan printing plate. Nice job!

Wow what a great box break! The Hemme Auto looks sweet. That Angle Swatch looks even better than past wrestling swatches I have seen. And pulling a Angle 1 of 1 Printing Plate tops it all.

I don't collect wrestling, but yeah, it certainly looks like you did well on this box. Lots of Angle in there.
