Review
2017-18 Topps Premier League Platinum Soccer Product Review
Reviewed by Trey Treutel
Good: Affordable EPL brand; simple lineup could be appealing to set collectors.
Bad: Base design is a bit busy; pretty weak list of signers; some QC/printing issues.
The Bottom Line: The Premier League Platinum format immediately calls to mind the 2017-18 version of Premier League Gold, and that is not exactly a good thing. Unfortunately, it comes across as a watered-down product and the autographs don't provide enough potential to offset the risk.
Card Design: 3.25/5.0
While the base look is choppy, I do like the design better than Premier League Gold. The three subset/inserts (Global Star, New Signing, Icon) are more simple and essentially the same style except for the card title.
I appreciate the shine on all the cards and it really has a nice look in-person. Parallels are subtle but still not hard to spot as they are serial numbered on the front on the card to go along with the extra color.
Lastly, there are autographs and relics of one similar design, and nothing else. Frankly, the design elements are minimal here with the reflective finish being the main attribute.
One thing worth pointing out is that some stage in the printing process or pack-out clearly ran into some problems. Several cards in the review box were either peeling or had a sticky substance on the back.
Checklist: 2.0/5.0
I do still find it odd that 2017-18 Topps Premier League Platinum went with one main numbering for the base and inserts but it's not a problem for me as a collector.
The much bigger problem is the autograph checklist. Although there are some solid names, most of the big EPL stars are not available and that can spell trouble when you are dealing with a release that relies on the two autographs per box to deliver nearly all the interest and value. Former United player Eric Cantona is the only big-value option to be found.
Value: 2.5/5.0
Even in the $70+ range, these are a tough sell as far as value. When you can look at the checklist and purchase almost any card for less (in many instances, much, much less) than the box, there is virtually no incentive to open a box.
Otherwise, you are just hoping for a low-numbered parallel or Cantona autograph.
The Fun Factor: 3.0/5.0
While the design is better, 2017-18 Topps Premier League Platinum is just another version of EPL Gold. The main redeeming quality for me is the Platinum finish.
The review box was also missing one of the guaranteed autographs, which stinks. I've not heard anything to indicate this is widespread, but it's good to be aware of that possibility.
