Topps Triple Threads Football Review
We got a box of Topps Triple Threads Football in for review this weekend. This is one of the final NFL Products from Topps as they are losing their license. Is it an all out dump of product, or a hit. We had a VERY nice hit in our boxes with six autographs.

2009 Leaf Certified Preview Images
Panini posted some images of 2009 Leaf Certified to their Facebook page today. Today is launch day of 2009 Leaf Certified Football. This is the only Football product I normally collect per year. I am not sure how much of a fan I am of it this year since it looks a lot like last year, which wasn’t my favorite version of the product. My favorite would be the 1996 Certified Product, then 2007 and 2005 in that order. Here are some images as well as the preview from Panini on the product.
