2011 Topps Triple Threads Football Box Break Recap and Review

[Baseball Nut]

For 2011 Topps Triple Treads Football there is a majorchange that parallels the change for the baseball version of Triple Threads, anadditional hit per mini box. Referred to as unity cards, because you can puttogether a series of three similar cards to complete a background picture, thisbrings the total number of hits per master box to four. This also means that each mini box nowcontains one autographed relic and one relic card.


Topps Triple Treads Football fits our premium cardscategory. Each box contains twomini boxes with 7 cards per mini. In addition to the autographed relic andrelic card, each mini contains sequentially numbered base cards in regular andshorter printed parallels.


Here are all of the cards we pulled from our box.

Overall Look

The base card design here works really well. Once again,kudos to Topps for the additional hits to this product, the unity cards withinterlocking backgrounds. The returning hit cards have that classic TripleThreads feel while changing the single player Triple Threads Relics to vertical rather than horizontal design.

Quality and Variety of Players

Triple Threads football does have a “rookie lean” but themajority of the checklist is high quality and in line with the feel of TripleThreads from years past.

Do the Hits satisfy?

There are some big hits to be had here but even if you don’tpull one of the booklets or white whales, your hits should be nice ones. In a move to keep the hits low numbered, most players have multiple cards, generally in two to three different versions.

Will you keep coming back for more?

Triple Threads is always fun to open. It is a product you will return to timeand time again.
