Guru: no blasters or retail in the greater Lansing area. I actually hit the usual suspects this weekend. Looking for shoes, not cards, but you know how a person tends to wander.
Knowing the way stores work around here, I'll probably see them at Meijer on Wednesday and Target on Friday.
I'm looking forward to the Target blasters if they're loaded up like last year's were.
Rube- Francisco Cordero is a relief pitcher for the Reds. Some of his auto's (not redemptions) are on the bay now anywhere from a buck to 20.One sold this weekend for 6 I think. Mike

<< <i>Anyone have a plate card of one of the shark cards?
Thanks!!! Jeff >>
Jeff, I believe that only the cards from 1 to 350 would have a printing plate card. The sharks are a subset, and not in the 1 to 350 numbering scheme. That being said, they did need plates to make them, but I dont think they will be part of the printing plate set.
Broke 2 more hobby boxes last night - sorry i don't have any scans yet.
My hits:
Brian McCann white Jersey, Chase Utley white jersey with red pinstripe, Ichiro navy blue jersey, Joey Chestnut apparell black and white swatch, Jeanette Lee magenta print plate, Ian Kinsler Autograph.
Also got: Thurmon Munson Icon, Tiger Shark, Bull Shark, 4 World Leaders, 6 black minis.
edit: Box toppers were an N43 and a Cabinet card - I didn't open them. Bill
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.

Ross,
Did he paypal you payment? Is the address verified? If it's not, the insurance won't matter in a dispute - Paypal won't protect you. I'm only mentioning this so you don't get into the headaches I've unfortunately had to experience!

Thanks for the input gentlemen...I very rarely sell on eBay and had never dealt with an international customer. I'm curious to see where this leads.
Bill, the address wasn't verified the night he won the auction, but when I printed the sales slip, PP had it listed as verified. So I went through the deal.
I very well may be out a rip card and $26 bucks...I'm going to go block int'l bidders right now.

I am not much into the set building thing, but I went into my local card shop yesterday to check on some of my consinements, and there were a few people in there talking about the A&G, so I decided to buy a pack....$6.
Got a relic of Schilling and a mini of Thome, and base cards ichiro and others.
I gave all the cards to one of the guys in the store, as I really don't collect that stuff, and besides a couple autos or a big hit for resale, i really dont have much interest in the product.
Anyway, I noticed one guy was in there buying minis for .75 each, and he bought about 50+ of them he wanted on his checklist. Does that seem about right for common minis?
<< <i>My wait is finally over too - here comes a fresh case of A&G!!!

Thought I would finally join the fray (about time). Went out and got a box from the local. I'll post 4 packs at a time for a little lunchtime fun. Don't worry, I'll post to the original message so I don't inflate my already earth-shattering post number here.

I say don't do it - take a little less money and keep it in the states. If his address is not verified, you are NOT protected by paypal.
