You seem to be the man when it comes to modern stuff. What is your opionion on the boxes releasing tomorow 2003 just rookies auto edition 4 auto's per box with an auto mini bat. are these cards hot for collectors or not?

I really like just rookies and also team best, they are small companies but have top notch
customer service...I guess when you are small you have more time for the customer. I have
found that their products deliver greatly.

However, for the most part they are the press pass and sage of the hobby and that means
that people only want their autogaph cards as long as they are the only ones out there. There
have been several times in the past that they have boasted a guys only autograph or even
card...Bo Hart comes to mind and Bud Smith when he threw that no no a few years back, for the
longest time 99 Best was JD Drew only autograph card and sold for over 50 dollars if you could find it, it
wasn't short printed so you actually had a shot at it...I think those autos delivered 1:6 packs or something

If you name all the big name young stars today, best and just has had them sign for them.

Soriano
Burrell
Dunn
Kearns
Hudson
Zito....

They aren't afraid to get the guys to sign...they have even put out autos of Nolan Ryan and Hank
Aaron...their signed memorbilia is nice too. I would take some caution on some stuff as they do
sell some of this stuff direct and the big dealers in Atlanta usually come up unusually low numbered
stuff. If you know what had to be pulled and what was offered direct you will get your moneys worth.

To sum it up, I have never gotten shorted with their products, and when I had CS issues they were
solved ASAP...I actually had the president of Just email me! Their products include all the future
stars and they are relativly easy to pull. The only draw back is that they don't draw big numbers in the
resale catagory, but for their price per box you really don't need to worry...I would say it is a great
rip! Check out their websites and they should have a checklist on it, they don't hide anything! Good Luck
and let us know who you pull.

I am in the atlanta area and i ordered a case. for what im paying i think the auto bat should pay more than half the box price. plus you get 4 auto's per box. i think 95% of these auto's are #d to 375 or below and delmon young is #d to 25 and anthony gwynn #d to 100.i will bust em then list them on ebay. just wanted to see if these were sought after by collectors.

joestalin

so you are a dealer in the Atlanta area? Where in Atlanta? I remember being their on business and
seeing a card shop with all these low numbered Furcal autograph and patch cards. Do they
still sell cards direct? It sounds like this is a can't miss product. They will have to contend
with UD and topps and playoff as far as Young is considered but this product will be Gwynn's
first auto. What is a box of this running at your store?

Thanks

I am located far north of atlanta in cartersville. My store is not a card shop its more like a mall college store, nfl mlb etc.. cards are maybe 5% of my bussiness. heck i usally order about 4 boxes i open 2 and sell 2 in my store. Thats why i dont see how cards shops make it. My website is 60-70 percent of my business www.gamedaylegends.com if you want to see the stuff i carry. plus i make a lot of my money with fantasy sports. any way if you are local feel free to stop by. not much for cards but if your a georgia bulldog fan i carry a lot of there products.
I am on these boards bc i enjoy opening packs and selling them on ebay. I started getting into grading but 3 bad experiences and that was it for me. I am getting more cards in here and there. but i have relized customers always talk about ebay so i didnt think cards would be profitable. any way cards is my hobby not my stores. you can see that by checking my website. www.gamedaylegends.com

OPENING PACKS IS A STRANGE ADDICTION!!! EVERYONE AGREE?

no snellville is far away. i am up north between atlanta and chatanooga.

joestalin

there is a Delmon Young auto already up on ebay....I thought this product hasn't hit yet. I checked
out their site and it looks like they are selling a great deal direct. I would like to know where
to get that retail auto set tho.

Where's the best place to order a box of these on-line?

kuhlmann

I have them for sale on my website. 45$ a box

Usually a nice player selection, but resale isn't that great. I've been picking up Hermida AUTO's for $4 while the Prospect Premieres (which is probably more plentiful) is going around $20. Should be a fun rip though and not a bad price.

kuhlmann

I opened 6 boxes. got some nice pulls. delmon young auto #d 25/50. a donald levinski auto 3d 5/25. a miguel cabrera auto bat and a hank blalock auto bat. those are the best pulls. not much to it. open the box and it has a bat in bubble wrap and taped to the box in a sleeve are the 4 auto cards in a sealed folder. each card sealed separtely. each mini bat is #d to 250 or less. and if you get a black mini bat they are #d to 50. nice cards though. just glad i pulled a delmon young.

If any of you guys are interested i have access to another case or 2. they are 45$ a box.
