Review: Topps Rising Rookies Football 2011 blaster

It was a fun bust. Something new to try. Kind of a flashback buy since this was one of the first releases of the 2011 NFL Football Cards season. Here is the breakdown!


Box: It catches my attention with the 1 exclusive NFL Rookie Team Patch inside then it also catches my attention with the two top players on the front.


'
Packs: Read box. Except the Rookie patch part


Packs 2: Who doesn't like an extra shiny pack that has a rookie patch in it!!! All eyes are drawn in! The one thing all of us collectors love is something shiny!



Base: I like the designs for the base and the rookie cards. The Football look and the players name and team name stand out. The rookies with the NFL Draft name quietly placed in the back and the standout team name and what round the player was drafted catches your attention. However,  I don't like how they feel so paper thin.


Inserts: Lots of parallels, some nice looking inserts. We got a Cam Newton NFL Draft so that made the blaster much better.



Memorabilia: Its a one per blaster hit. A fake patch card, but its cool and its numbered. To make these more unique, its a pre-draft patch. Meaning most of these were made with the wrong team to the player. It was like Topps did a mock draft. This one is of Von Miller. He obviously doesn't play for the Titans. But from some research I have done on multiple sites, this is what I have been hearing about these.

Autographs: None. Wasn't lucky enough.

Overall: Rating based on a 1-5 score
Box Value: 3
Hit Potential: 1
MOJO factor: 1
Quality: 2
Sport Card Collectors Overall Rating: 3. We have it this score because the patch is nice. The design of the overall product is nice. But the paper thin feel to the cards take away some of the value we feel. But we would recommend picking one up if you can find it cheap as we did.
