2012 Topps Five Star Football Product Review
Reviewed By Mike Smeth
Good: Fantastic checklist, Large variety of good to great potential pulls, Few condition related issues, Guaranteed booklet or dual auto in each box and High quality patches for the most part.
Bad: Price, Mediocre base card design, Booklets lacking some of the "wow" factor that preceded these highly anticipated hits.
The Bottom Line: There are very few NFL rookie classes that could hold their own against the elite group of NFL draft picks that took the gridiron by storm in 2012. The number of superstar rookies, as well as the depth of rookies with star potential, led to very strong 2012 football card product sales. 2012 Topps Five Star Football is a fitting, high end conclusion to this unforgettable season as it features the rarest rookie cards of many of the 2012 classes' top players - all of which feature on-card signatures and player worn patches. In addition to the plethora of high end rookie cards of the best and brightest first year players, 2012 Topps Five Star Football also features a fantastic variety of autographs of Hall of Famers and veteran stars, as well as multi-autograph combinations of the three groups.
Gone are the wide scale condition issues that plagued 2012 Topps Five Star Baseball. While the base card design leaves something to be desired, no one is shelling out big bucks for the base cards. The cards look best where they matter most - in the rookie autograph patch cards, the booklet autographs, and the various other autograph and jersey patch hits.
Does 2012 Topps Five Star Football live up to it's name and earn a full 5 star review score? Not quite, but it is certainly comes close. And it's something that any football collector after a true high end, premium experience should seriously consider purchasing.
Card Design: 4.1/5.0
I'm not too crazy about the base set design. And overall, this is the one area where National Treasures has Five Star soundly beaten. Base set aside, Five Star up's their game for virtually all of their autograph and player worn memorabilia cards. And considering you are spending upwards of $400 for a box, chances are your eyes won't be on the base cards (though they are selling surprisingly well on the secondary market), so the set's design as a whole is actually quite nice. I've watched a few 2012 Five Star Football case breaks in addition to the box I broke and the condition of the cards, from the base cards, to the booklets, to the dual autographs and everything in between is consistently excellent - which is quite an accomplishment given the thickness of the cardboard stock used by Topps.
Checklist: 5.0/5.0
The checklist is flat out fantastic. It capitalizes on the strong 2012 NFL Rookie Class by providing some of the lowest quantities of the key rookies seen this season. But because of the premium nature of the set, this isn't a bad thing as chances are very good you'll benefit from the scarcity if not right away, in the not too distant future. And the 35 subjects included in the Base Rookie Autograph Patch checklist are the top 35 offensive rookies of the year. Obviously you'll be shooting for a Luck, RGIII, Wilson or Martin pull here, but even if you don't hit the top tier of rookie talent, the bar is high enough that you won't be cursing the cardboard gods for leaving you hanging with an Offensive Linemen, Cornerback, or unsigned free agent autograph pull. Plus all these rookie cards feature on-card signatures, many on which are complemented by multi-color jersey patches.
But Five Star is by no means a one trick pony. Because in addition to it's strong assortment of rookie autograph, multi-autograph, and patch subsets, there are tons of great Veteran Stars and Hall of Famers with multiple autographs and/or game used jersey patches in the set. This list includes the likes of Barry Sanders, Brett Favre, Bart Starr, Jim Brown, Emmitt Smith, John Elway, Kurt Warner, Joe Montana, Jim Kelly, Adriane Peterson, Dan Marino, Jerry Rice, Matt Ryan, Aaron Rodgers and, well, I think you get the point.
Value: 4.5/5.0
It goes without saying that $400 is a lot of money to pay for a box of sports cards. However, I think this is going to be one of the products people look back in 5 or 10 years and wish they had scooped up more of. The 2012 NFL rookie class will have its share of Hall of Famers and Superstars, and as the years and decades go on, the Super-Premium autographed rookie cards in Topps Five Star will be among the most coveted and valuable. If you don't have the cash to buy a box, you could do a lot worse then to invest some money in purchasing some key 2012 Five Star rookie auto's on the secondary market as there is tons of upside here. If you compare it with rival premium football product 2012 Panini National Treasures Football, which costs over $550 per box, there is actually a very distinct price advantage in favor of Five Star.
You can use the $150 you saved by purchasing Five Star on picking up a hobby box of 2012 Topps Chrome Football Cards or 2012 Panini Prizm Football. Or with Mother's Day coming up, use that extra $150 to buy your wife or mother (or both) some roses and take her out to a nice dinner away from the kids.
The Fun Factor: 4.3/5.0
The further back into collecting I get, the more I enjoy ripping premium high risk, high-reward products. Only a few box breaks I've seen of 2012 Topps Five Star Football would qualify as being horrible breaks. I've seen a substantial amount of great breaks though - one box in particular comes to mind. It was part of a live group break in which participants bought spots based on conference. One lucky collector chimed in at the last minute, purchasing the rights to any NFC North pulls made from the 1 box break. The box featured a Bart Starr autographed patch booklet and a Brett Farve autograph Rainbow Parallel, among other impressive hits. But I digress.
Like any other product, the majority of breaks will be somewhere in the middle. But unlike the majority of products, there is something particularly electric about the possibilities that lie before you as you carefully tear your way into the cleverly packaged plastic mini display case that makes up the outer packaging of 2012 Five Star Football boxes. Is it fun? I sure thought it was. If it's too rich for your blood, there is no shortage of great 2012 football card products on the market available at all manner of price point. But for those in search of the top super-premium experience of the football season, look no further then 2012 Topps Five Star Football.
