    The Box Break:









    We hit rookies cards in every pack. We had very few doubles of rookies which is a huge positive. Our rookie pulls were highlighted by top rookies Tim Tebow, Sam Bradford and Dez Bryant.




    We pulled a pair of the thick rookie variation cards.





    We pulled one blue parallel of Dallas Cowboys stud rooke Dez Bryant. This, in my opinion, is a great looking card.









    We pulled one refractor card of rookie QB Dan LeFevor.






    We pulled one autographed refractor rookie card of Tony Pike. The card is numbered to 1225.






    We pulled a black refractor autographed rookie card of Armanti Edwards. The card is numbered to 99.





    For our autographed patch hit, we pulled none other than Tim Tebow. This is a black refractor and is numbered to 99.





    Final thoughts:

    There is a lot to like about 2010 Topps Platinum Football. The first thing that comes to mind is affordability. I have seen these boxes selling from 80-90 dollars per box. At three autos per box, that is huge value. I continually harp on affordability versus box potential and Platinum definitely delivers. I love that the rookie cards exactly match the base set. Sure the RC logo is on the rookie cards but is there any real need to make totally different rookie cards? It is a set, and it is treated as such. The chrome make up of this set is sure to keep the fans of Topps Finest and Topps Chrome very happy. Honestly, Platinum seems to be a perfect hybrid between two of Topps more distinguished brands. I was fortunate enough to receive this box from Topps, but I had bought several before it arrived at my doorstep. There is nothing negative to say about Topps Platinum. It is great fun ripping the box, all the top rookies are there and the cards are simply some of the best produced. I hope Topps Platinum is a brand carried on every year much like Chrome and Finest.

    Product Rating:

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

    I rate this product an A+ for Topps Platinum. I wish there was a higher grade.

    NPN:

    There was no NPN information on the box.


    I would like to thank Topps for giving me the chance to review this new product. Topps is the leader in the card industry of sponsoring blogs and card trading sites. Be on the lookout for contests involving cards from this break.

      On the topic of these cards, they are really sweet! I love the fact that there are a lot of Patriots Rookies in there, as that is all I collect. This is really going to help out my Pats collection. Can't wait till all the Pats become busts and I can pick these up for a couple of bucks a piece, because this really is a sweet product!

        Nice looking product and a great review!! Too bad the Tebow patch is a single white swatch and not 2 color. Still a sweet card though!

                Great review Frank and sweet looking cards.

                Did you look on the wrapper for an NPN?

                I do not trade nor buy at "eBay values", unless a card is so rare that it is unlisted.

                    Sweet box break. Are the cards up for trade then or they get given away in a contest or for sale? I would love to get my hands on the Dez Bryant.

                      Very nice break, grats on the nice hits too. I myself have always liked the chrome like cards - just wish the whole set was chrome, not just the rookies!

                        another nice product from Topps, although their blasters dont seem to be quite as loaded this year- at least mine wasnt. Excellent review Frank, and thanks to Topps for the box to review!
