RED ZONE ROOKIE ON-CARD AUTOGRAPH CONTINUITY PROGRAM
36 top Rookies from the 2011 NFL Draft pen their monikers directly to each of these cards. Will appear as an additional hit.

Here's what we pulled in our box of 2011 Topps Triple Threads Football.

Base and Parallel Cards;

The 2011 Topps Triple Threads Football logo is in the upper left corner of the cards, along with the card numbering. The players name team and position, are centered on the bottom of the card. The back of the card has a black background and looks sharp. A nice bio on the back along with 2010 stat line and total career stats complement the Triple take section. Triple take is an interesting tidbit of the players information that you may not know.

The base and parallels we pulled are;
  • (6) Base cards /999
  • (2) Parallels /250
  • (2) Parallels /300

Game-Used Card;

In this box we pulled a real nice Ken Stabler (The SNAKE) triple threads game-worn jersey numbered 08/27. Definitely one of my favorites back in the day! The next is an ED Reed SWEEEET game-used multi-colored patch 1/1. Doesn't get much better than this for a game-used card. The stitching runs throughout most of the pieces.

Autographed Card;



Our 2011 Topps Triple Threads autograph card pulls were all in the Minnesota Vikings theme. The first was Kyle Rudolph autographed player worn jersey card numbered out of /90. Looks to be next in line at TE in Minnesota. The final autographed jersey card is of their up and coming QB in Christian Ponder. The card is numbered out of /18. He looks to be a solid QB for the future of the franchise....finally.

Final Thoughts on 2011 Topps Triple Threads Football;

Topps Triple Threads are a hit every year and it doesn't matter which release of sport it is. This box delivered on the guaranteed pulls per pack. How can you go wrong with two added hits per box! We pulled a nice solid rookie with the Ponder pull and a fantastic pull on the Ed Reed multi-colored jersey card 1/1. Nice valued cards throughout the break make s itone of the best I've had in awhile.

These boxes can usually be had for between $150 and $170 on most sites that I have checked. The low end is a sweet value for the box with four hits.

Here's how I would rate this product;
  • Value = 5
  • Innovation = 4
  • Fun and Experience = 5
  • Rebuy Value = 5
I rate this product an "A" for Topps!

Very nice review. You did do very well with the pulls. I like the design of the cards and think that the guaranteed hits are probably its best feature. Overall very nice product.
