Speaking of countdowns, I could do a countdown of my favorite Triple Threads releases. It's one of my favorite annual releases of Topps. There is something for everyone in this set. Autographs, patches, jersey pieces, low print runs, and really cool designs. I didn't get a box of Triple Threads this year, but I am tracking down cool singles.
I've got a couple of cool jersey cards tracked down already and have an eye on an autograph or two. So, I checked out the checklist for Cardinals and Rays to see what was available in this year's Triple Threads release. The Cardinals set is pretty much a repeat from all the other Topps releases this year. They have a Jon Jay, Matt Adams, Jason Motte, and Allen Craig. There is also a Gibby autograph, but I'd prefer to keep my Hall of Famers on card and the Gibson is a sticker.
There are also some David Freese cards in the set that will end up being my Cardinals targets for Triple Threads. Namely, I would love to add the World Series MVP and Mr. Freese card. If I could pick up an autographed version I would be really happy.
So, my pick up this week started me off with my Rays. I received a Desmond Jennings jersey and Evan Longoria jersey, but also got an Adrian Beltre to balance out the trade.

2012 Topps Triple Threads Desmond Jennings x4 Jersey
2012 Topps Triple Threads Adrian Beltre x6 Jersey "Toro Raro"
Longoria actually has a few different jersey patterns in the set this year. This is my favorite. One of them mentions Eva Longoria. Not sure about that. I was happy that Desmond Jennings was included in the set and actually have another Jennings jersey card on the way that is far cooler than this one. It will be here in a few days.
