2014 Topps Inception Football Box Break
I picked up three hobby boxes from a local card show. I ended up buying 2014 Topps Inception, 2014 Upper Deck SP Authentic, and 2014 Topps Platinum.
Here's the Inception box.
This Inception box was only $65. I think that was a pretty good deal considering that Blowout Cards is selling Inception boxes for $82 right now. What's crazy is that another guy at the card show was also selling Inception boxes and he wanted $95 per box! Um, no.
I really like Inception. The cards are high quality. Can't complain about getting this nice looking Tom Savage patch autograph.
When I was looking at the back of the card I noticed that the little biography talks about him playing for UCLA. This is obviously a mistake since Tom Savage played his last year at Pittsburgh. The biography information is for UCLA's quarterback Brett Hundley. How could Topps make this mistake? Hudley was still in college in 2014. He hadn't even turned pro yet!
Even though this is an error card, the error will not impact the card's value. I can only see this card being worth more than usual due to its error if Tom Savage some day becomes a star.
The other autograph in the pack was Terrance West. I like the on-card autograph, but geez what a lazy signature.
The final hit was a De'Anthony Thomas patch card. You can barely see three colors in the patch window.
The parallel card was a Julius Thomas magenta numbered to 75.

2014 NFLPA Rookie Premiere & 2014 Topps Inception Football Preview
The 2014 NFL Players Association Rookie Premiere is currently underway in Los Angeles. Fortunately for us card collectors, Topps has been posting some good pictures of the upcoming releases on their Twitter feed. Below are some of the pictures.
I actually grabbed the above picture from a video. It shows what the new 2014 Topps Inception Football inscription cards will look like. I think they look awesome. I like the ornate gold foil inlay which frames the team logo, and which is underneath the player name. It's smart of Topps to only put gloss on the actual player image rather than over the entire card. By not putting gloss on the area where the player will sign this helps ensure that the autograph doesn't smear or scratch off so easily.
This one is actually a preview of 2014 Bowman Football. The cards are a little hard to see but from you can see they do look very nice.
Brandin Cooks is showing off a old school mini. Notice all the jerseys stacked up behind him? That is why I don't usually buy or pay a premium for rookie year patch autograph cards. Those jerseys will hardly be touched by the players. At the most, each will be worn for minutes or mere moments just so the card companies can claim them as being "event used" or "player worn."
Another Inception preview, with tons of jerseys stacked in the background.
Overall, the cards Inception cards look pretty nice. Obviously, the biggest draw for Inception is that it will be the first high-end release for the 2014 NFL rookie class and it will have tons of on-card autographs. Unfortunately, some of the players are depicted on their cards as wearing number "00", which is because they haven't been assigned a number yet by their team.
