Each hobby box of 2006 Topps Triple Threads Baseball Cards will break down as such:
1 Autographed Triple Relic (Game Used) Card
1 Triple Relic (Game Used) Card
2 Parallel Cards
2 Insert Cards
6 Triple Threads Base Cards
The triple relic cards contain three different pieces of game used memorabilia which could include jerseys, bats, and many other items. The three items could all be from one player pictured on the card. There could also be one item from three different players.
The autographed triple relic cards have the same two options listed above, but the card will also be autographed by one of the players on the card.
2006 Topps Triple Threads Baseball Cards also includes the very highly sought after “White Whale” Autographed Relic Printing Plates. Every single one of these cards is a 1 of 1. The printing plate used to print the cards is cut into and then three pieces of game used memorabilia are embedded into the printing plate. There are versions of the “White Whale” Autographed Relic Printing Plates in 2006 Topps Triple Threads Baseball Cards that have three pieces of memorabilia and one autograph as well as versions that have three pieces of memorabilia and three autographs.
The average pack of 2006 Topps Triple Threads Baseball Cards will sell for about $135-150. The average 2 pack hobby box will sell for $260-285. This is one of the high-end products for 2006 Baseball Cards.
2006 Topps Triple Threads Baseball Cards is a complete gamble. The base and inserts from the set do not bring in much value. The set is very reliant on the Triple Relic cards, both the autographed and un-autographed versions. Some of these cards that feature unproven talents or minor stars may only bring in a few dollars. On the other hand, if you get lucky and pull one of the “White Whale” cards, it should bring in a few hundred dollars, possibly a few thousand if it is of sought after players. In my opinion, this product is a gamble that has little reward for the risk. If you have the $260-285 to spend on a box of 2006 Topps Triple Threads Baseball Cards, buy the single cards of the players you want instead of risking it on a box of this.
