Cory, Great Case ! Are the Braun & Mathewson numbered or anything? If you're amenable to a trade I'd love the Speaker plate. Still have 7 boxes to rip this weekend plus a retail & blaster case coming.
Geordie, I'll let you know what Dodger minis I have after sorting.....any dupes or any from parallels I'm not collecting.Probably will go for a set of the regulars, AG backs and maybe black borders.

Is it just me or does the Lincoln DNA card look like something they may have found in the sink at the dude's house? It looks like a beard clipping. Could just be me. My F*kudome went for $20 today in case anyone is interested.
Curse you all and your stellar rips!! I have rip envy!!
But it is okay, because my mojo is in blasters... and soon, soon... the blasters will be here!! And then, ho ho, then, I shall bathe in phookadomays, Strugs, Billy Mitchell ties, and sharks!! Sharks piloting airplanes loaded with boxes of Abe Lincoln's nose hair!!
Muahahahaha!!
You think I'm nuts? We're buying a set that includes sharks, flying machines, and the fictional "Team Orange." We ALL float down here!
BTW: This websites censor script rocks. Can't type Phookadomays name properly. Also can't type the proper name of the compartment that pilots fly the plane in. Rhymes with sockpit.
Speaking of Blasters, I wonder if Target blasters this year will be as good as last years? I hope so. Talk about amazing and awesome pulls. The best card pulls I've ever had came from blasters.
Ok, maybe someone else has had this thought too, but is it possible the Team Orange guys are Topps employees? They're obviously modern people dressed in period tobacco card era clothing, right?
<< <i>Holy crap!!! Mosaic sighting! Alert the media!

I took a buncha months off. 2007 A&G wore me out. I don't have the mental strength to maintain the crave for long. Nor the wallet strength, har har har.
But now that 2008 is here, here I am again. I took a mild beating on my first box of 08, but I'm just biding time until the retail hits. I need my SPs and sharks.
I see you're still on a quest for a 52 Mantle... a signed Judge Landis letter? You gotta be gettin' close!
Actually, after I scanned those I did a quick look at the mini's stack and found this in there, also from box #3. Unfortunately, I have to wake up in about 4.5 hours to catch the train, so I think the rest of the boxes will have to wait until tomorrow.

Box #4 done. No ink, no bazookas and only one relic card. Plus I got ripped off, one card is not even made of cardboard! The scan will have to wait until tomorrow though.
Wow - some great pulls overnight - did I see a box yielded BOTH Bonnie Blair and Bruce Jenner autos?!?!?
Amazing.
Fur72 - that case was stellar! Completely loaded with just about everything but a cut 1/1 or original A&G card! I don't know if you are looking to trade anything, but the extended minis are of interest to me. I don't think I've got much of anything in the line of Cubbies stuff yet though.
My 3rd box was what I expected most boxes to look like this year - Johnny Damon Relic, Adam Kennedy Relic, Rich Hill NNO, one Shark Mini, 2 World Leaders, 1 Ancient Icon, 1 Crack the Code aka Worlds Greatest Victories and a David Ortiz N43 topper. Back to reality!
I did spend some time last night checking out some info on cryptology though No dice. I don't think I'm intelligent enough to figure it out anyway!
kshorton says: i gots an Empire State Building card... seeking advice.. is this better and worth more than my psa 3 franco harris 1973 topps card which i defouled by trying to make a baby with ? Please advise. the franco card is graded.. the ESB card is not yet, and I do not want to have a baby with the ESB card.
Busted 4 more boxes last night, definetly nothing impressive (no ink, bazooka or nno's):
Hank Blalock jersey Brian McCann jersey
Jason Varitek Bat Bobby Crosby jersey
Wily Mo Pena bat Albert Pujols jersey Jeff Kent bat Victor Martinez jersey
Pete Weber shirt Roy Oswalt jersey Curtis Granderson jersey Jeff Kent bat
So through 5 boxes only 1 auto. Have 5 more boxes to pickup at UPS today, wasn't home to sign for them. So far it looks like I may have been better off buying a case, but last year did much better buying a few boxes from several different places.

I would like to do the Red Sox Relic set so please let me know if any are for trade!
I will be getting my box or 2 this weekend though I think I shot my load last year when I got 2 boxes and got 2 autos (John "Mule" Miels being 1) and an 3 relocs with 1 being Olbermann.
<< <i>Knopfler, does that possibly mean there was a chip of wood in one of your packs? >>
I wish! Cloth, still not bad though. I was honestly so tired when I opened it that I can't even remember who it was. I think it was a decent player, but not a superstar. And to the post from wem, yes the Jenner and Blair came from the same box.

I could, but if others on the train find out how valuable some of these are, I might not be coming home with them!
