Bill, The NNO is going on eBay because it's Josh Hamilton. As far as the black borders go, I may trrade with you if I don't do them, will trade any dupes regardless.
Thanks,
Dave

Just curious if any of you that have opened cases have pulled a poster like the David Wright I got out of my case?

<< <i>Just curious if any of you that have opened cases have pulled a poster like the David Wright I got out of my case? >>



two people on beckett have, there were only what 10 total?

Kevin

and I believe that the first one sold on ebay for 800+

HeritageAddict

Kevin, I think those were autographed though, mine is not.

prscott933

I didn't get any type of poster in 2 cases.

cwazzy

Well I convinced my wife to let me pick up a case using the 20% Microsoft rebate and the 10% off coupon on eBay. It's from a seller that is only 3 hours from me so I hope to have it by Wednesday. I can't wait!

Did you already buy it? I think I have a whole case left and I'm only 10 minutes from you I could put it on the bay so you can get the discount. LMK

BunchOBull

<< <i>On a related note Bill & Ross, have you paid LOckwood in full or just made a deposit? >>



Just the deposit for me, but I'm ready to hit the go button whenever I hear from him. I'll email him.

magellan

Same here, i've dealt with him quite a bit with Heritage so no worries.

Nice Manny auto pressctt! Hopefuelly your boxes will be filled with Red Sox ink!

prscott933

<< <i>Nice Manny auto pressctt! Hopefuelly your boxes will be filled with Red Sox ink! >>



Thanks! I've received some interesting offers on it so far.

The case(s) that your boxes are coming from are still on the way. One UPS shipped case says Tuesday delivery, the other DHL shipped case doesn't show an expected delivery date but it left Ohio yesterday. I'll ship to you (and everyone else that bought some) the same day I receive the first case unless it shows up too late in the afternoon.

I'm getting ready to head for the local Target store for the first time in months. Anyone know if the Allen & Ginter are in stock at Target stores in the Midwest yet?

Leiascards

Retail is not suppoused to be released for a few more days.

<< <i>I'm getting ready to head for the local Target store for the first time in months. Anyone know if the Allen & Ginter are in stock at Target stores in the Midwest yet? >>



Nothing here in IL at the local target.

Reese3333

I just got back from Target in Indy and there is nothing here yet either.

joestalin

I'm guessing Tuesday for retail..look for the boxes with yellow tape on them, Target usually puts them on an empty isle and they are stocked at
night. If you wait too long they will be gone. Best chances to get loose packs too from fresh boxes! They will have them stacked on huge red
pallets with wheels.

I wanted to thank the people who gave me scans of the team orange cards. There is quite a thread over on beckett and we are doing a great job trying
to crack the code. If anyone has any other info post it here or there.

thanks
Kevin

DavidPuddy

Hey Guys, I'm looking for a few more suggestions on the A-ROD "Blank Front" that I pulled this morning.

What the heck should I do with it?

Anyone?

zep33

Picked up 4 boxes at a local show here in N.Y. today for only $80 each, so there will be some ripping tonight.

I just have to wait until the Yankees score before I can rip.

fattymacs

I called a few shops and prices were $99.00 and $105.00, so I passed. I'm making a road trip this week and I'm gonna check a few other spots, otherwise I'll just buy some from Wally-World and just rip to cure my jones. Hopefully I'll get enough trading stock to get the Cincy Reds cards I'm after.

"Dear Consumer,

AragornTheBold

Wow that is pretty rough

mosaic

November 2008 is still light years quicker than Upper Deck's redemption speed. I still have nightmare of all of the Mark Texiera auto'd 8x10's they sent people after a slew of redemptions had gone unfulfilled for a year or so. Expecting a Griffey auto? Here's a Texiera 8x10!
