What to Expect:
If you can afford it and are a UFC fan this is the product
for you, Topps goes all out on Bloodlines and it shows. This is a high end
product with some high end hits and plenty of parallels and inserts, you will
get one hit per pack along with one insert and one parallel.
The base cards have four parallels, which you will pull one
a pack; Flag (#/188), Black (#/88), Ruby (#/8) and Platinum (1/1). The base
autographs will include first time signers, which are Red Ink (#/15).
My Thoughts:
I love UFC and I love UFC cards, I think that Topps has done
an amazing job with their UFC releases and Bloodlines is among the best. It is
a bit out of my price range for a box but I have grabbed up some base cards and
inserts of the fighters I support, Ryan Bader and Ben Henderson.
The base design is great; I love the black and white
background with the fighter prominently standing out in color along with their
name and county across the bottom. Simple designs always seem to stand out and
look great. When it comes to inserts the Octagon-Side insert is my favorite, it
actually reminds me of the Magic Football releases.
Pros:
Nice Base Design
A Hit, Insert and Parallel in Every PackLots of Autographs and Parallels
Sketch Cards
Cons:
Price
Sticker AutographsA Manufactured Relic (Coin) in Every Box
Rating:
I am torn, I love the set but I always deduct points for
sticker autographs even when the match up with the design. There is a lot to
love about this set so I think that I will go with a fair 4 out of 5 because of
the design aspect.
