Description

2012 Topps Five Star was released on November 14, 2012. Each five card pack includes one base card, three autographs (all on-card), a game-used Relic card, and an autographed Relic card. This was a new high-end set from Topps in 2012, and it had high expectations considering how well the football edition (which debuted in 2010) was received. Many who bought the product agreed that the cards were fantastic, but also that more work had to be done. One notable problem was that a lot of the cards came with chipping around the edges due to lack of proper handling by Topps.

Distribution

Six cards per box (MSRP: $500). Three boxes per case. Hobby Only.
