I already cracked it with my decoder ring its: Drink More Ovaltine!
When the code thing is all done and over someone better sit me down and expalin this to me. I just figured the code cards were all that was needed but now people are saying the team oranges are involved.
And what the hell is up with the funny looking "N" on the card? Is that like a compas N or something? It really drove me bonkers the other night.
What I had last year in large hits, I'm making up for in numbers I guess. Box number 3: Plus - 13 regular minis 6 AG back minis (including Frank Thomas) 2 Black minis 1 Shark (Tiger) 2 World Leaders (Vietnam & UK) 1 Victories (American Rev.)
Also pulled the 500 HR Club box topper w/ Big Frank
No great hits, but 4 with an auto! That's 3 boxes and 3 autos...I can't complain.

and 29 cards I needed towards the master set leaving me 2 cards short (1 base and 1 SP) but have 4 more cards that need replaing due to damage.
Hey guys, I broke two boxes and didn't get a single base double. Here is where I'm at, let me know what you have for me. I would like to try knock out as many SPs as possible to start because I'm sure I'm going to bust more of this products once blasters are available so the base cards are lowere priority.

<< <i>I was just ripping my third box and found this...
If anyone sees the front of this A-ROD card please let me know. Mine is missing. >>
you should throw that on ebay as a blank front card. You might be surprised that some Arod collector will pay the big bucks for that. Specially since there doesn't seem to be any others
I was looking at it closer, and it looks like the state flag cards are actually two pieces of cardboard put together. My "Blank Front" arod is about half as thick, so maybe somewhere, someone will pull the front. Or maybe it's one of those infamous Topps unintentional "intentional" errors. It seems kinda' fishy to me because It's A-ROD and not Casey Blake, or some other regional star.

Guys I'm in a quandry as to how many subsets /paralells I'm going to collect. Both AG back & black borders will have 350 cards , correct?
