2013 Topps Triple Threads Football comes on strong with some
major design changes, almost all of them for the better. From the etched gold foil under sticker
autographs to make their appearance more regal, to the use of three circle
swatches that almost mimic the much higher end Five Star line, collectors will appreciate
these cards. Of course, the iconic
die cut sayings that overlay the relic pieces still remain for some of the
cards, because it just wouldn’t be Triple Threads without it.
Topps Triple Threads Football fits into our premium cards
category. Each master box has two
mini boxes. Each mini box contains
7 cards with a low numbered autographed triple relic and a low numbered triple
relic card.
Here are all of the cards we pulled.

Overall Look
The base card design here is strong with excellent use of
gold foil accents. Colored
parallels are much more subtle this year as you can tell from our Tony Romo half Rainbow.
Hit cards look great.
Quality and Variety of Players
Triple Threads football does have a heavy premiere rookie lean,
which is in line with the feel of Triple Threads from years past.
Do the Hits satisfy?
This really is the premiere release so far with some of the
best looking hit cards to be produced.
Collectors should be very happy with these hits.
Will you keep coming back for more?
Triple Threads is always fun to open. It is a product you will return to time
and time again.
