Topps Five Star, I have seen a lot of posts on this set and mostly I agree with the opinions: The packs are way too expensive ($500) and although the cards look cool the thickness basically leads to a lot of chipped corners which for packs of $500 is not really acceptable in my view. As a result I stayed clear of any packs of Five Star. Still, I did decide to pick-up a selected few on eBay which is much cheaper than spending $500 on a pack and hoping for a big pull !
In the end I was able to pick-up 3 cards for very reasonable prices. Please meet my latest Kershaw !! Although a great looking card you can clearly see some chipping around the corners. Nevertheless, I really like the card, numbered to only /150.
I also picked-up 2 jumbo relics cards, It's Kershaw again and a nice Verlander, both numbered to /92.
Despite a bit of chipping (not sure if that's correct English!) I still like the cards but you can get loads of these cards of eBay for $500 so I won't be buying any of these unopened packs but might be picking-up one or two more from eBay !
