Topps [Garbage].

I purchased two value boxes (a.k.a. blaster boxes) of 2013 Topps Prime Football for just $12.55 (approximately $6.28 per box). Each of those boxes contains 8 seven card packs for a total of 56 cards per box.

It's really hard to pull a low-end hit from that series in a value box; for example, an Autograph Rookie Variation is inserted into 1:715 packs, on average.

Greene rushed his 4,000th yard in the 2014 season with the Tennessee Titans. It took him 6 years to achieve that goal.


Jeez. Both of those boxes was full of crap. I would have exploded if I had paid the full MSRP of $39.98 for both of those boxes!
