Product Details

User Rating:

Continuing the familiar formula, 2014 Topps Inception Football is a Hobby exclusive that features three hits per box, including two autographs or autographed relic cards and one jumbo memorabilia card.

The base set checks in with 100 veteran cards and a variety of parallels, including Green (1 per pack), Purple (#/99), Magenta (#/75), Red (#/50), Blue (1/1), and Framed Printing Plates (1/1). Each box includes two base cards, one Green parallel and one additional non-green parallel. Topps also brings Inception into the SP game, with ten Short Prints that feature images of veterans from their rookie season. Short Prints do not have any parallels.

Rookie Autographs showcase on-card signatures from the 2014 NFL Draft class. Multiple colored parallels add to the chase, with Green (#'d), Purple (#'d), Magenta (#/50), Red (#/25) and Blue (1/1) versions.

Additional rookie autographs are present in Inception Silver Signings. The cards are signed on-card with silver ink and sequentially numbered. Several parallels continue the theme with gold ink instead of silver. Options include Gold Signings (#/25), Gold Signings Nickname (#/10), Gold Signings Inscriptions (1/1), and Gold Signings QB Playbook (1/1).  Quad Rookie Autographs highlight four rookie signers on the same card, with a print run of 25. There is also a Blue parallel, numbered 1/1. Lastly, QB Inception Autographs is a special insert set that honors all rookie quarterbacks at the NFLPA Rookie Premiere. Base versions are numbered to 20, and Magenta (#/10), Red (#/5), and Blue (1/1) parallels offer increasing rarity.

Taking the autographed hits to another level, 2014 Topps Inception Football also offers an assortment of autographed rookie relics. Inception Autographed Jumbo Patches feature sticker autographs and a jumbo patch piece. Among the many parallels are Green (#'d), Purple (#/50), Magenta (#/25), Orange Glove (#/10), Red Swoosh (1/1), and Blue Team Logo Patch (1/1).

Inception Autograph Patch Books Cards are numbered to five and feature an on-card signature and jumbo patch. The Laundry Tag parallel (#/5) replaces the patch with a laundry tag. Inception Autograph Letters Book combines a nameplate letter and on-card signature. Each card is numbered 1/1, and there is also a NFL Shield Logo parallel (1/1).

Rookie relics round out the 2014 Topps Inception Football with Rookie Patches and Rookie Jumbo Relics. Rookie Patches are available in Green (#/75), Purple (#/50), Magenta (#/25), Red (#/10) and Blue Team Logo Patch (1/1) parallels, while Rookie Jumbo Relics include Green (#/75), Purple (#/50), Magenta (#/25), Red Patch (#/10), Blue Team Logo Patch (1/1) and Black Nike Swoosh (1/1) parallels.

Product Review

2014 Topps Inception Football Product Review

Reviewed by Trey Treutel

Good: Three hits per box, quality card stock, distinct design, nice jersey patch pieces, some on-card autographs.

Bad: Some sticker autographs, no real variety in the design, top rookie autographs are short printed, several teams omitted from autograph checklist.

The Bottom Line: Seven cards per box and price tag of around $80 makes this a reasonable hit-or-miss break, especially if you would rather not deal with stacks of base cards and inserts. The rookie-heavy product promises two autographs per box, but since the top rookies are short printed, you are more likely to hit some of the less popular names.

Staff Rating:
3.6 / 5.0

Card Design: 4.0/5.0

If you have seen one Inception card, you have seen them all. This is not necessarily a bad thing and I am fond of the design. This continuity is also nice for the overall strength of the brand as the cloudy/smokey look has become synonymous with Inception.

One negative aspect to the product this year is that while the Rookie Autograph subset includes on-card signatures, the Autographed Jumbo Patches features sticker autographs. Given that one of these sticker autographs will likely be found in each box, this is kind of a disappointing result from a product that made its name with on-card autographs.

Although it is not the case for all the players, purists may not care for the occasional “00” jerseys among the rookies, but in my opinion, it is still much better than photoshopped college jerseys.

Checklist: 3.0/5.0

With a product that largely centers around rookies, the checklist really boils down to the current class. All the big names are here, albeit, some more common than others. Team collectors should be aware that there is not consistent representation across the league. Among the autographs, players from the Chargers, Cowboys, Ravens and Redskins are all left entirely off the checklist.

Value: 3.75/5.0

When a box only includes seven cards and four are base or base parallels, that puts a lot of expectation on the three hits in terms of value. Given that the ambiguous relic cards are all likely to be event worn, unless you hit one of the short printed autographs, you will face a tall order trying to recoup what you paid. Such is the nature of these types of products. Risk-averse collectors are much better off buying singles.

The Fun Factor: 3.75/5.0

Fun in collecting is normally swayed greatly by the hits, but this is especially true with products like Topps Inception. Since there are only a small quantity of cards to enjoy, the break goes quickly and there is not much to revisit. In my opinion, products like this always feel more like gambling than collecting. If you beat the house and pull one of the big names, you will emerge satisfied. However, the house always wins in the long run, so you have to know when to cash out.

Does anyone know why Terrance West card has an Arizona Cardinals logo on the back?

Don Juan…looks like it’s your lucky day. I not only got three base Carlos Hyde redemptions. I also pulled three Carlos Hyde base autos. I’ll gladly sell you all six for the low price of a case…thanks!

While I agree the distribution could be better, you have to remember that there are only 54 players who have base autographs and even less with the “inserts.” Of course you are going to have some overlap throughout the whole product. Not to mention the fact there does appear to be some players with less base autos than others. Would you be complaining if you had pulled 3 Manziels? Probably not.

Robs….maybe it’s not all about the money and hits?!? Carlos Hyde is hot right not so not sure why your complaining about hitting 3 of him…they will sell and are on eBay. Expectations only lead to dissapointments! Ive bought a couple players I want and like the cards. Still like Trinity the best!

same here the distribution is horrible. I opened over 48 boxes. I got a bunch of doubles of the same players. none of the prime rookies. my only hit was a redemption. I purchased my boxes from three different sources on the east coast. topps needs to do something about this. I saw someone in the Midwest that pulled 4 different Manziel autos.

Some nice cards, but the distribution is the worst I’ve ever seen. Can’t disagree more with the review that stated otherwise. I opened 4 cases and received 3 Carlos Hyde jumbo patch redemptions. I had four other instances of 3 or more of exactly the same card and / or player (just talking about the autos…very sad). Don’t get me wrong, some of the hits were decent, however I did not receive one auto patch and / or base auto (serial number or non-serial number) of any of the following players: Manziel, Carr, Bortles, Evans, Watkins, Clowney). I don’t get it. At this price point, after opening 32 boxes (64 autos) one would expect a bit more even distribution. My decision, but I don’t plan on purchasing this product ever again.

Matt

Being color blind, parallel cards suck, but are the Orange numbered to 40 and the Red to 50 for the base set?

Matt It appears that way.

is this just a carbon copy of Bowman Inception or vice-veersa. Only rookie autos. I figured Bowman was for rookies, and topps is for Veteran stars. And Dallas doesn’t even get an auto? Unless I’m not seeing something

Really nice cards. Pulled a Bishop Sankey Booklet Patch #’d 5/5. Any idea of the value? Willing to sell if the price is right.

Very limited rookies! Has the big names but every team should at least have a chance at something. Impossible to sell some teams for box breaking!

Azecards, They’re definitely not 1/1 because I’ve seen 2 of the Drew Brees in the Chargers uni. Not sure how limited they are though.

Could someone give me a little more background on the vet cards that have throwbacks to their rookie years, I heard they were SP 1/1 not marked. Thanks in advance

Sadly, this will probably be the last time that Inception will hit a HOME RUN. Very nice looking on-card autographs. Just saw one with Evans, Beckham, Cooks, and Watkins on the same card! SO NASTY!

Buy2Get1Cards We should see it next year too. The Panini/NFLPA exclusive doesn’t kick in until 2016.

Very nice cards. Great distribution in the boxes.
