the autos are pulling much easier this year. Last year was brutal. If you got a case with 5 that was amazing, guys this year are pulling sometimes twice that from cases. It also appears that most of the autos are easier to pull than last. The one thing I don't like is topps putting autos with different print runs in the same group. Guys who sold early are going to regret it.
<< <i> Read a post 33 relics and 3 auto from a hobby case??? Is that odd??

that was me...
I am not sure if it is odd but it sure feels odd. Last year pretty much came out to 2 relics per box and maybe a couple of autos per case.
I am two boxes into my 2nd case and have pulled 9 relics so far (2 of which are SPs). I tried to finish the relics set last year and was hoping not to go down that path this year... with this many relics... I might have to
edited to add: The 2 SP relics so far are Archie Moore and Joel Casamayor. Both only have 100 produced! Sweet.

I'm trying to crack the code...anyone want to post some pics of the victory cards front and back and the backs of the team orange minis? If I crack the code Ill insist that the card next year pictures us all! LOL
I'm sure this info is in the thread somewhere but if someone can confirm for me that would be great. If I've figured correctly there are seven mini insert sets (number of cards):
Sharks (5) Aviation (5) Baseball Icons (17) Ancient Icons (20) World Leaders (50) Team Orange (10) World's Greatest Victories (20)
wow, just opened two boxes and not a single double. I will be trading my minis, world leaders etc for the cards I need for my 1-350 set and states set... if you are going for any of the parallel sets or other insert sets and have already gotten together your extras, let me know maybe we can help each other.

Anyone else think that Carlos Marmol resembles Barack Obama on his 08 Allen & Ginter cards? That relic might be Marmol's uniform, or it could be Obama's shirt! He DOES live in Illinois!

just making my list of regular size cards and looks like after 5 total boxes so far, I'm only 4 SPs short of the set but still need a ton of base cards. Kinda cool
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.
Very nice start Mike, now use your mystical powers and will a DNA Relic into the next box. Jason, I am thinking about doing the A&G back set but have not quite decided.
None of my product will arrive today, but I feel the need to rip a box on my birthday, so I'll probably head to the card shop for one (1) box...just one.

I didn't have a Bazooka or an aviation card in my whole case.........one good thing about Mike getting the great pulls, he's a Red Sox fan.
I was thinking of doing the AG backs, not sure yet as I want to get my retail cases 1st.

Happy Birthday guys
After a good breakfast, I'm headed to the card shop!
<< <i>Did Zep fall down or something? >>
I can't open them all at once Nick. I'll go into withdrawals and then fall down
Now I gotta wait for the Sox game this aftenoon
defiantly don't fall down. That horseshoe you carry around could really hurt if you fall on it.
Thanks for the Birthday wishes guys..
Two more boxes to open sometime today. I sorted my first two boxes, and put what I have into sheets.
Is this not one of the best looking sets to flip through?
