2017 Topps Luminaries Baseball Cards

I simply can not give this a 5 stars because of the checklist. I simply can not bag this product with a 1 star because of the checklist. I feel there’s little choice but to give this the 3 star rating its almost begging for.

The price is what it is. All things considered, you can spend equal amounts on multiple different hobby boxes and expect about the same result. There are obviously some monster hits to pull here. There’s also a good amount of $175 fluff.

We all have our own different and preferred ways/strategies when it comes to scratching our itch when it comes to collecting cards. Every pack, every box, every case is an opportunity to find that something special we’re looking for. How much time you spend, how many cards you have to sift through, and how much money you end up spending before you actually find that something special is up to you, lady luck, and your budget.

If money wasn’t an object, I still couldn’t see myself buying much of this stuff. Not that it lacks quality or is somehow flawed. It’s just the expectations and results of my time and money that makes this average to me. Plus, a single pack containing a single card should never allowed to called or sold as a hobby “box” – no matter how awesome the card inside may be. I’d hate to be left wanting after spending this much dough and feel anything less than satisfied when I was done opening it up.

The bottom line – If collecting rare and valuable high-end cards are your thing, there are many less foolish ways of doing so than to blindly buy them 1 at a time like this.

Home Run Kings, and I don’t see Barry Bonds, but I see Big Mac, Canseco, Juan Gon, Raffy Palmeiro, etc…What a moronic bunch of names to put under HR Kings. Bernie Williams, I think of HR King when I think of Bernie.

Unacceptable to have $200 boxes have a single $5 auto of Trevor Story and other mediocre players. Topps once again not paying attention to it’s collector base. Stay away from this one.

Just because you can’t afford it doesn’t make it a bad product…..

If you can’t differentiate between Five Star and Luminaries you probably shouldn’t be spending money on this anyway. The overall odds of a great hit are high in this with tons of legends and great players. The price is probably still too high, as are all products across the board – hence I took away 1 star from an otherwise great product.

Yes a bit pricy but the checklist is small and has mostly good players and all are #’d to 15 or less. Got a K. Bryant auto relic /10 in mine. You can buy many boxes of a lower price item and not get anything #’d like these.

Unnecessary. Typical “high-end” crap. How does one differentiate between Five-Star, Luminaries, Dynasty, etc.? The designs are similar, the description of hits is similar, and the price points are meant solely to drain pocketbooks or enrich breakers.

Only being back in the hobby a little over a year , this product has shown me why I may be out of the hobby again soon. This has truly become a lottery with an insanely expensive ticket.

Another high end product that the average collector can not afford.

Was there any thought when putting together the categories, and the players making them up? Dansby Swanson is a “Hit King”? LOL That’s just an example. Crazy.

What did Paul Molitor do to make Topps hate him so badly this year?

I didn’t buy topps dynasty before and I wont buy topps luminaries either. Also Topps Stadium Club had inserts Luminous and Luminescent. Its unfortunately “looming” how topps handles things these days :/ I don’t know if I’m the only one, but I do get a kick out of watching live personal breaks for Dynasty of people getting hosed lol?

Topps Luminaries another high end box no one can buy unless the have a buying group. Us average collectors can’t afford these high end cards.
