2008 Topps Rookie Progression Football
Posted by Tuff Stuff

Welcome to another segment of Bustin' Wax. This week we have Tuff Stuff's Sports Collectors Monthly Editor Scott Fragale as a guest opener, providing some good insight into the NFL rookie class we had hoped to uncover in this product. Let's get started.

Today's Feature: 2008 Topps Rookie Progression Football
  • 5 cards/pack
  • 20 packs/box ($75)

The cards themselves are of nice stock with decent action shots. There is a lot of text on the back with just the last year's stats. The product itself is intriguing because of the rookies, and we did get some good pulls. We got about what was expected in terms of auto and memorabilia cards, too.

Here is the breakdown:
  • 1 Auto redemption: Glenn Dorsey single sig. bronze parallel
  • 1 Rookie auto: Kevin Smith (numbered to 20)
  • 1 Rookie Patch: Andre Woodson (numbered to 99)
  • 1 Veteran Patch: Steven Jackson (numbered to 299)
  • 5 "Veteran" cards: Braylon Edwards, Tony Romo, Terrell Owens, Willie Parker and Brandon Jacobs
  • 3 "Legends" cards: Troy Aikman, Drew Brees and Terrell Owens
  • 4 "Rookie" cards: Tom Zbikowski, Yvenson Bernard, Adarius Bowman (numbered to 399) and Eddie Royal (numbered to 299)
  • 6 parallels: Derrick Ward (numbered to 389), Jerricho Cotchery (numbered to 99), Daunte Culpepper (numbered to 299), Greg Jennings (numbered to 199), DeSean Jackson (numbered to 389) and Ali Highsmith (numbered to 299)
