My Vote For the Worst Auto Card Set Ever Produced

In early 2007, Topps released one of the worst products ever to be produced in the history of football cards. Paradigm, or as some in the hobby refer to it, Paracrime, was a $400 pile of hyperholographic poop. Every card was so ridiculous, that you needed some dramamine just to look at the nauseating design and ideas.

As if it couldnt get any worse, a subset was put in the product that flowed from the same vein of the later produced crime against humanity, Topps Lettermen. If you thought the Manufactured letter patch cards affixed with foil topps stickers were bad, gaze upon the beauty of this wonderous idea:



Yes, I did not crop the pic in order to showcase the watery turd that were these cards. I saw these when the product was first released, and I could not fathom the size of the brain fart it took to think of this idea for a card subset. Holographic frame, large jersey swatch, no picture, BIG ASS foil sticker in the middle. Wow, absolutely amazing. Compelling and rich.

Again, the rule:

If the cost of a box of Topps cards is greater than or equal to 100 dollars, run for your life.

    Sure, that card is ugly, but have you seen the SP Authentic "Leatherhead" Rookie auto's?! OMG, talk about terrible. Oh and you get a piece of leather from some random old-school helmet that Upper Deck probably paid some octogenarian $50 for. YIPEEEEEE!!!!!

    So if anythings topps puts out for $100 isn't worth getting.

I won't be breaking any sterling or Razor after I seen that SHI* on beckett through the blogs! Grant old school pack buster
