Stopped by the LCS yesterday and saw they had gotten in a new shipment of Topps Five Star. Against my better judgement, I decided to crack a tin. Could have been better, could have been way worse, here's the damage:

Base #/79:
Larry Fitzgerald
Santana Moss
Calvin Johnson

Jumbo Jerseys:
Brandon LaFell 20/40

Rookie Autos:
Jason Pierre-Paul 38/50

Five Star Signatures:
Ray Rice 25/50

Rookie "Patch" Autos:
CJ Spiller 2 color "patch" 49/50

And the big hit of the tin:

Futures Dual Autographed "Patches":
Colt McCoy (white "patch") and Montario Hardesty (brown/orange "patch") 4/5

The McCoy/Hardesty was a very nice pull, as was the 2-color Spiller, but I've got a HUGE problem with Topps labeling these cards (and the Jumbo) as containing "patch" swatches when they CLEARLY contain jersey swatches! It bothered me before I'd busted any of this stuff, but it really bugs me now, which is why everything (except the base) is already on eBay.

Anyway, that's my break. It was fun but certainly not several hundred dollars fun and definitely not National Treasures fun (kinda biased because of what I pulled, though). Thanks for the read and, as always, comments are welcome! :beer:
 
Nice pulls, the labeling of the cards would be annoying. It's just going to lead to a lot of cap lock titles on ebay listings.

Yup. I also foresee a LOT of patch forging in a couple of years, as soon as the product fades from the collective consciousness. Especially in the #/40 jumbo jersey set...the cards are already labeled "patch," so it's just a matter of fakers getting some sweet jumbo swatches in there. :badmood:
