I busted a box and a half today and pulled a Carson Palmer/Boomer passing the torch auto /50...this stuff is really nice.

Kevin

CopperJJ

kingraider75

joestalin

CopperJJ

I keep all my elite stuff unless I get doubles, but I am working on a 2000 torch auto set (PSA) and collecting the Throwback Threads set from 2000. My Montana is graded PSA 8; Marino PSA 9; Bart Starr PSA 10; Edgerrin James/Sayers PSA 8.

CopperJJ

cubfan, I am happy with the box, always happy with the breakup of Elite Football and over the years I've had great luck with the big cards.

When you get a chance, can you post a scan? Thanx

BTW, a long while back I posted a "I wonder what happened?" thread and I thought of Kall...he was a good poster especially about new issues if memory serves....too bad he doesn't post anymore.

Hi Copper! Thanx for sharing. Some of use like scans of the better pulls if you have the time.

My scanner is down for the new cards, sorry. I got my 2000 Elite Torch Auto's posted in my registry set. Check it out.

Nice break . I bought about half a box today and a 2 full boxes on wednesday. 2 autos 2 jerseys out of wednesdays break and only a few die cuts today. Nice pulls of the past elite football..wish I was half that lucky .

joestalin

Not to toot my own horn,but this really is one of the great sets of modern football. The checklist is actually very good, I figure my pull
was on the bottom half of the pulls...they had others like Manning/Marino, Ben/Bradshaw and Montana/Brady...still nice:

CopperJJ

SWEEEET, love those elites

Stone193

Thanx Kevin
Pretty cool! What's the pull odds? Cost of a box?

Boxes run anywhere from 65(I think u can find them this cheap on ebay)-100 if you buy them locally. 2 GU and/or auto's a box. There tend to be more boxes with two GU's then 1 GU and 1 auto, but thats just in my experiance. Decent buy and I agree with Kevin, very nice modern set.

Thanx Ryan
Just not sure whether I will do a FB set this year - I spent too much on heritage, AGAIN, this year and may get hooked on fan favorite a bit - can't resist the autos!

Are all the topps cards the 50th anniversary edition? Like topps chrome and whatever other types they put out? Just curious cause from the pictures I've seen it just looks to be the regular topps issue...
