Worthless post, Charlie. 700th post of the thread.

<< <i>Not one hall of famer or star buyback on eBay. Very strange. Topps must have only inserted commons because with all the case breakers one would have surely come out by now. >>



you haven't seen the rest of my case yet Nick - then again, neither have I...

F1ferrari

Yeah, Zep has the 'magic hand' when it comes to opening great stuff. The rest of his case will probably yield a Mantle, an Aaron, and 3 Gibsons.

rrpb76

Geordie...
Boy, I sure wish you could convince the powers that be to put numbers on the posts instead on having to count the pages and multiply by 20 [or so]

Zep, I do wish you the best with pulls, but you may have used up your next five years worth of luck on the 2007 products. Now scan that Mantle buy back...

Here you go Kevin, enjoy.

TZAHL

I have no prodcut yet. Due to 'work' I'm not really in the mood to get into 08 yet. My basketball team is playing in a Missouri class 2 (smaller class) district final tonight so I'm pumped about that. Maybe I'll get cards tonight or tomorrow to go along with a win and have a great weekend!!!

To pass the time I bought a couple of hobby boxes of 06 from Jack Lockwood (his last available.) Manny bat, Kaline flashback bat and thats it. I did get 1 refractor I needed towards my set!

Glad you guys are saving the cut autos for me!

Travis

TZAHL

Nice cards Nick! Definitely agree that the flashback relics are the nicest they've been since 04. The last three years have look pretty weak.

kmnorton

I'm going to propose a little side contest as we all open and sort. I have an Eddie Matthew's stadium seat card to offer to the person that has the best buyback card as determined by the group. I would stipulate that by "best", it's not the content of the card (a Mantle, I'm assuming, would be the nuts card) rather the condition; one that if it didn't have that stupid logo stamped on it would grade the highest. If it's something you all are interested in, I could start a separate thread (***The Official 2008 Heritage Buyback Contest***) for people to submit their photos and we could all judge as we go. What do you addicts think?

prscott933

i like that bob blaylock. let me know if you want to get rid of it. i still haven't decided to join the heritage frenzy yet though (so no heritage to trade).

fur72

Cracked two hobby boxes last night. Nothing really exciting a couple jersey cards and sevearl CR and CRR. I really like this set though it has a really clean look. I really like the box toppers, its a cool idea. I know this is more than likely in the huge thread but what is up with the black number cards? One per pack?

BigRedMachine

Hey Travis,
I still not the Ben Sheets and Troy Glaus SP's from the 06 set if you pulled them.

Thanks, shawn

TZAHL

I'll look tomorrow. I'm pretty sure I have a Sheets, not sure about a Glaus.

ArchStanton

I opened my panels and the buyback. Heh.

I am not going hog wild on this set. When the trading starts, I'll be looking for panels with Pirates and Pirate buybacks.

brian26

I'll be looking for any White Sox base doubles or buybacks that you guys get.

HeritageAddict

Well Topps is staying true to form by producing ugly cut autos again.

Burdette

TZAHL

On both 1 of 1s the names appear crooked....??? Is this so the auto lines up horizontally? Cool cards to pull but not things of beauty.

lowstartmick

That is ugly , one of the biggest pulls you'd think they do better with it.

Can anyone advise if the variations of Wright, Santana and Smoltz are black backs ?

nam812

Santana as a Met is a green back. Who said there was a Wright variation?

F1ferrari

The Wright variation is a Dick Perez painting used for the photo. It was on the Beckett board in the 5 case bust, and if I'm not mistaken it was numbered 'DP6' or something.

magellan

Received case from LR today, thanks for info on Phelan Nick......I'll email again to try & get a time frame for refunds though I have made my Paypal claim. The 1st box was kind of cool after going a year without any new Heritage.

AD panel:1 (Kevin I'll detail them later)

I had one pack with 9 cards , it had both the NAP and a NF card, blackbacks in every pack.

nam812

Does anyone have any official info on the #198 Owens? I only got 2 of them in 18 boxes, so that is not a base card to me.

rugbymarine

Nick, I got 2 of them in only 4 boxes ( along with 1 or 2 of almost every base card). Got two of the #310 version too. And none of those was in the '#7' spot. I think you might be dealing with poor collation.

I also had a couple SP's appear not in that #7 spot.

Ian

kmnorton

Does the Owens 198 have a Black and Green version?

zep33

I pulled a black back Owens last night but not sure which one. I'm at work (obviously not working) so I'll check when I get home

rrpb76

<<Does the Owens 198 have a Black and Green version? >>


Yes, The Black back Owens #198 is same as the green back one having the lite blue front



<< <i>I pulled a black back Owens last night but not sure which one. I'm at work (obviously not working) so I'll check when I get home >>

86nova

Regarding Owens: The #198 card (blue) comes with both color backs-- green and black. Card #310 (red). I do not know if card #310 comes with a black back or not. Also the biographical paragraph on the back of the blue version is completelydifferent from the red version. Craig in Ohio

nam812

<< <i>Also the biographical paragraph on the back of the blue version is completely different from the red version. >>



The cartoon is different too.

fur72

Not to add to the confusion but Wal-Mart is offering some Dick Perez cards are these seperate set or are the DP's part of heritage?

Stone193

Four boxes into the rip and the best one:



44/59

Got a total of 3 chromes, 2 refractors, 1 black and 1 jersey card - Tejada.

Hi Chris!

joestalin

First, I like the contest of the best buy back...maybe there could be a contest of the WORST buy back..I think that half a buy

Chromes: 11 including Braun,Delgado,IRod,Man Ram

magellan

Kevin, NIce hit on the Mantle seat !

Mike, I'm torn on the relics.....collected most of them last year , will probably end up only doing Sox, the oldtimers, and particular players this year.....Howard will be one as I like that a lot too.

Kurt, you're blazing hot !

Stone193

A little deja vu with the Cepeda card...



Glad to see any HOF'er.
