20 packs per box // 5 cards per pack
1 Autograph Patch Relic Card and 2 rookie on-card Autos per box
I received the following:
56 base cards - 56% of the 100 card vet set
This premium product - Platinum Football - has a highly reflective / rainbow type front. The HD action photos are placed on the card without any other player or field on the card. The photos are sharp and look good. The reverse has personal stats, 2011 pro stats, and NFL career stats along with a write up on his strengths as a player.
Inserts
Thick Parallel
This parallel is the same as in other Topps products - a parallel card that is much thicker than the regular base card. I received 19 of these - 19% of the 100 card base set.
Rookies
12 rookies received - 25% of the 50 card set
The rookie cards are chrome. They are highly reflective and each has a RC designation.

**********************
Topps Platinum football - should be a good issue for the set builder. One should be able to build most if not all of the base set with only 2 boxes. The rookie portion of the set will take an additional 3 boxes to have the possibility of completing the set with out reaching out to the 'bay or trading for the needed shortage.
Many of us buy boxes hoping to at least break even (or come close) when we rip the packs. I don't know that the ROI on this product is going to satisfy the masses.
I also believe the player collector will be pleased that there are not quite as many parallels to chase after. The Xfractor parallel again has a pattern to the background - they look excellent. I really like the die-cuts. These have always been a favorite of mine. I only received one in this box.
The autos are on card - YES!!! - blue Sharpee and both of the players I received could even write their name - excellent!!
The rookie patch - great looking patch - sticker auto
. This card is probably as thick as 5 regular cards. Well done.
Overall grade B+
Go buy several boxes and send the Tebow cards to me!
