2015 Topps Platinum Hobby Box: Opened on 4/14/2016
This is my second box of 2015 Topps Platinum. I’m hoping for a big hit or to complete my set. And as few duplicates as possible. Here are the details.

Not a fan of having the same player show up in the same box. It would be great for a Bears fan.

On the positive side I pulled a couple of nice rookies. Jameis Winston and Buffalo Bills RB Karlos Williams.
So again no big hit, but if you need or want any of these hits, please let me know and we’ll work something out. But I’m getting really close to completing the base set. (See my In Progress Sets for details) One thing I love about these boxes are that there has yet to be a duplicate in a box. I’ve opened many boxes in the past where you get 3 and 4 of the same card and none of the ones you need all in the same box. Topps Platinum is getting an A+ for variety of cards, now if I can just get a nice big hit. I guess I’ll have to open one more pack.
