Product Thoughts
The answer is YES. Topps Clearly Authentic does cost a little more than the Archives Signatures, but from what I've seen, the player selection is much better. Clearly gives collectors a mix of both current and retired players, and the collation of the stars in the product seems head and shoulders above Archives. If you're a fan of what acetate cards look like, this year's design works great. I wasn't a huge fan of the regular looking Topps base cards, but the borders - especially with the colored parallels look great.
Of course no modern release would be complete without parallel cards. Both the standard base set and all the special designs have parallels that can be found. The parallel cards are serial numbered depending on its rarity. Orange /5 and gold/1 are the rarest of the parallels.
It's good that Topps released this product after Archives Signatures because after seeing this, I wouldn't touch Archives!
- On-Card autographs.
- Both current and retired players can be found in this release.
- Good distribution of star power in cases.
- More expensive than Archives Signatures (the other one card per box brand like this one).
- Very quick break experience.
- Still a relatively risky product.

I’m in. I like the cards but I feel it’s not enough for what you pay. It’s too quick of a break. YT- Yodude Janson
ReplyDeleteI'm in, I love these cards but it's unfortunate the break is so quick.

I’m in, I agree with you about these being much better looking than the base, but too steep for me for a random hit. I guess I would like to see the checklist. YouTube - Ken’s Cardboard

ReplyDeleteFabulous review! If I was into baseball I would definitely be buying some of this product based on your stellar review.
ReplyDeleteI'm in! Great product!
ReplyDeleteCards look great and the player selection is much better than clear cut hockey
ReplyDeleteI'm in - the variances are so wide in this product, but it makes for a nice surprise. Luke, you did fairly well in your breaks, and as always, thanks for sharing them with us. The on-card autographs are a great touch but their pen choice could have been better as some have come out streaky

Thanks for this post! We always like the look of the Clearly Authentic set! We featured some of the best hits on fivecardguys.com
ReplyDeleteI'm In. I'm really digging the look of the clear cut cards & the price point is more up my alley. Cool Break.

My ex-husband and I had always managed to stay friendly after our divorce in February 2017. But I always wanted to get back together with him, All it took was a visit to this spell casters website last December, because my dream was to start a new year with my husband, and live happily with him.. This spell caster requested a specific love spell for me and my husband, and I accepted it. And this powerful spell caster began to work his magic. And 48 hours after this spell caster worked for me, my husband called me back for us to be together again, and he was remorseful for all his wrong deeds. My spell is working because guess what: My “husband” is back and we are making preparations on how to go to court and withdraw our divorce papers ASAP. This is nothing short of a miracle. Thank you Dr Emu for your powerful spells. Words are not enough. here is his Email: emutemple@gmail.com or call/text him on his WhatsApp +2347012841542
