Personally, I'm not a big fan of Topps Co-Signers. Although the idea of a dual auto in each box is a great idea, your box proves the players in the set could be improved. Okafor/Dudley? And that's supposed to be the hit of the box?
As far as the set itself, I personally think the design is kind of bland. I'm a bigger fan of cards like Stadium Club or Upper Deck, with the card representing the entire game, not just the player. I like seeing the background and not just the player. Also, Topps couldn't come up with anything better than a white background? How much thought went into that?
Your RCs were pretty brutal. No Durant, Oden, or any of the other big name rookies. If I pulled that, I would've been disappointed.
The only positive I like from the product is the fact that they have 2 players on a card. It makes it more enjoyable for the player collectors to pursue not only their favorite players cards, but also have someone else on the card to enjoy.
Overall, I think you were too generous in your grade. If I pulled that box, I would've given Topps Co-Signers a C. If I was going to buy a box, Co-Signers would be pretty down on my list.
