Dave, I think I have enough for everyone.

cwazzy

Here you go, Ross. This is a combination of boxes 2 & 3. My wife pulled all of the good ones.



The A-Rod and Schnieder cards are no numbers. The Schnieder, unfortunately, came out of the pack with 2 bumb corners (will Topps do anything about that?). Also got a Poseidon World Icons card.

BunchOBull

Congrats on the silk Chris!

I'm hoping the Johnson rip will land me enough dough to get the next Thomas silk that emerges. The first sold for $102.

AragornTheBold

The anticipation is killing me, by the time I get my boxes no one will want this cards anymore

I would like to try to collect the Adam Wainwright cards from this year's set. Please let me know if you pull one that you would like to trade. I am well on my way as I was able to pull the base card out of my 3 boxes.

Chris

BunchOBull

I'll be sure to watch for them Chris, I have a stack of '08 Heritage to send you as well.

cwazzy

Thanks buddy! I haven't pulled any good Thomas cards lately otherwise I would put those in with your boxes.

Chris

PS. Does anyone have a trade ratio yet?

BunchOBull

Quick question:

Do the extended minis have a wood variety?

cwazzy

Yes they do, Ross.

I know my extended mini has wood

Can I be the first to but the request out for NNO's? I'd like to try and get them again this year. Maybe acting quicker will make it a bit easier!

No one that busted a case can corroborate the SPs from the 300's I listed earlier? Also, is anyone but me searching for an SP list?

Ok, maybe I left $$$ on the table, but the Walter Johnson RIP card just sold for $175 BIN in less than 10 minutes. I'm happy.

It only lasted 5 minutes and 2 seconds.

Congrats BunchO... BunchO, hehehahahahehehehahhaha!!... er... uh... congratulations... that's a couple boxes right there... and you know prices on a lot of this stuff tend to drop once October nears.

Heck, you could probably use that to tackle some of the nastier subsets. Can't complain about that much versatility!

BunchOBull

Thanks! I listed it for what the 2 boxes basically cost me at the advice of cwazzy...I figured it would sell, but I thought it would sell via auction format. Can't complain, hopefully the buyer will come through.

The Lincoln hair is on the Bay LINK

nam812

Wow Doran, thats 8 boxes and 8 autos.

poguemahone

<< <i>The Lincoln hair is on the Bay LINK >>



Disappointing, but there are many other treasures still out there.

mosaic

Regarding the Abe Lincoln, are they doing the same thing this year that they did with the 07 set: e.g. there's a 1/1 in hobby packs and a 1/1 in retail packs?

(I know that's hardly 1:1, but that's what they did with George Washington!)

BunchOBull

Ya know, I've wondered that too, but there are so many neat relics this year, I'd almost guess that there's just an even mix between hobby and retail.

joestalin

man you all are killing it with the autos. I need more of this stuff!!!

MAGELLEN IF YOU RIP THAT JOSE CARD I CAN TRADE YOU SOMETHING FOR IT? sorry for caps

BunchOBull

We've had some great pulls today guys. Keep 'em coming.

cwazzy

Sorry if I cost you some money, Ross. I almost said $200 but thought it might be a little greedy.

A friend of mine sent me this scan. This was from one box. The rip card contained a red auto of Hanley Ramirez.


Chris

magellan

Yeah, that box made me feel better Doran. Chris I'm probably gonna ebay the Reyes unripped but if I change my mind you have 1st shot at the exterior.

A Hanley Red!!! That's awesome!I wish I hit that!


AHHHH!!!!!! I just saw the location of the Abe Relic.... that's where my case is coming from that I just got on ebay !!! CRAP - I'm too late!

joestalin

I have yet to see a red auto...anyone got a checklist or even a pic?

Kevin

BunchOBull

Chris, you did well. I think that was the perfect price, not too much, but on the high side of reasonable! Apparently anyway!

And your friend had a heck of a rip with that one box!

Kevin i saw an alen fisher the arm wrestling guy on ebay red auto. might still be out there or it ended. no idea what its at or what it went for.

fur72

My case results, i was sicker than a dog but still has the strength to rip, just took a few breaks.

Two rip cards that I ripped and pulled the Braun and Christy.
11 Code cards
Pulled a mini Babe and a Thurm
Think I got 4 sharks
25 World Leaders
Too many state cards
No number black widow
3 Bazooka backs

Now to organize and figure out what I need.

TNP777

I'm having a blast reading about all the great cards you guys are pulling. Keep those scans coming - it's even better when we can see the cool stuff that A&G has inserted this year.

You guys that are busting cases, I'd be very interested in any Dodger minis you pull. I'll be putting together complete mini sets of all parallels excluding woods and plates. PM me if you'd like to help me out.

Geordie

edit: Doran, I saw your note on the Ethier. Thanks!

HeritageAddict

Fur, is the Molina Silk for trade?

BunchOBull

Very nice fur! That Speaker printing plate is for the extended version isn't it?

You had a great run!

I think the Speaker is part of the Baseball Idols set. But I've been wrong before. Great pull!
