Here's what we pulled in our box of 2010 Topps Unrivaled Football.
Very solid design concepts, make this a high-quality set. With the somewhat pale background, the players seem to jump off of the cards. Superb action shots of every player. We pulled (3) /499 parallels, (3) /759 parallels and one insert of Vince Young /199.
Rookie and Rookie Parallel Cards;
The rookies are of the same design, but have the rookie designation and all are numbered. We pulled (9) rookies of one fashion or another from this box. The list below breaks it down so you can see what you can expect.
- (3) Regular Rookies /999
- (1) Gold Rookie /499
- (1) Black Rookie /99
- (1) Insert Rookie /199
- (2) Autographed Rookies /780 and /400
- (1) Autographed Patch Rookie /50
Autographed Cards;
2010 Topps Unrivaled offer three autographed cards per box. The same basic design as the base, but the numbering is placed higher to allow for the sticker placement on the bottom. Jonathan Crompton /480 of the San Diego Chargers and James Starks /780 of the Grren Bay Packers were are rookie auto pulls. Both autos are completely on sticker and have no bubbling or breaks in them. The autograph patch (3 colors) is of Eric Decker of the Denver Broncos and is numbered out of /50 (black). Nice clean autograph again. There is a minor ding on the right hand side card border from manufacturing.
Final Thoughts on 2010 Topps Unrivaled Football;
Needless to say, our box of 2010 Topps Unrivaled was a decent break with the nice Decker auto / patch pull. I like the (3) autographs guaranteed per box. I of course would have liked to have seen more rookies in the box. The quality of the autographs is always a big plus for me too.
These boxes can usually be had for between $52 and $85 on most sites that I have checked. The $52 and $85 were both on ebay. The $52 was a great buy at that price point.
Here's how I would rate this product, based on what we experienced during the break;
- Value = 5
- Innovation = 5
- Fun and Experience = 4
- Rebuy Value = 4
I rate this product an "A" for Topps!
