I'm thinking about buying a box of 2011 Topps Tier One. What do you guys think about the product?

I think it is very a hit and miss product. Some boxes are great but some are real busts. I know I won't be buying any unless the cost goes down.
It is a nice looking product . The base cards are on thick stock. If you hit one of the Aaron jumbo patches #d/10 that was in an earlier thread, you will do quite well. If you have boxes similar to the ones I saw opened, you'll end up with autos of Anthony Rizzo and Alex Cobb, a jersey card of Don Mattingly, and a black parallel of Dustin Pedroia. Those 4 will make you about $15 back of the $85 cost of the box… To me, it's no different that the other higher-end boxes like Tribute or Triple Threads. You won't be able to buy the jaw-dropping cards from those products for anywhere close to the price of a box, but you could buy twice as many nice cards for about half the price of a box.
Essentially the same product as Marquee, IMO, and not worth box prices now, which were over $100 at a show here Saturday. Saw a whole bunch of dealers with Tier 1 stuff in their dollar boxes.
I watched about 10 boxes get opened on you tube with out a major hit....kinda scary.... Also check out hdstuff the mod 's review
Just saw a jumbo Garvey patch card on EBAY. Looked like a piece of a special patch, maybe 1980 AS or similar, rather than the same old red/blue swatches. Still, #10/10 and the seller opened the bidding at $399.
NOT!
NOT!
I bought 2 packs of it. My big hits were a game used George Sisler,Ripken base # to 25 an a Mike Schmidt on card auto # to 99. I like this product but its very hit and miss.

I want to buy a box I'm just worried that I'm gonna pull some bogus players. Topps doesn't need to put guys like Angel Pagan in a set that costs this much.
They need to rename it Topps Tears
Yeah, that scared me away from any box. So far I got the #799 and #199 base cards of Kershaw, Kemp, Cano and a Kershaw auto off ebay for a total of $40-$45 incl. shipping. Figured I would go for a Kemp auto and that would be pretty much everything I want for price of 1 box or less.

Yea but the guys that I collect I would end up spending around $200 or so buying their loose cards from the set lol
LOL... yeah i hear ya. That still might be better that the frustration of buying a box and getting a Tyson Ross auto and a Josh Thole auto for close to $100. My son keeps putting it on his X-mas list, so I guess "Santa" will have to fork it over for 1. We will see. If you do buy one, let us know how it goes. I do really like the cards though. Too bad it would cost hundreds to try and do the set.

Might get one or two packs for christmas. Local Hobby store....did not get them...to costly and their still taking a bath on the finest stuff. Best regards, David
I will Adam lol. I really want to but my gut is telling me not to. Maybe i'm still a lil mad at Topps for putting such an awful product out (Topps Marquee). I know that I am more than likely going to buy the 2012 Bowman Sterling. That is a great product for the most part!
