Right now I am addicted to the 2008 Topps Chrome. How can you beat some sort of REF in every friggin pack. Not to mention I have pulled 3 auto cards from about 10 boxes of retail from Walmart.

I've always had a soft spot for all the 1987 issues. That was my first year buying new cards. Topps were available everywhere, so those werent any big deal. But Donruss and Fleer were much tougher to find. I could only find Donruss at Toys R Us, and I could only buy Fleer at Albertson's grocery store..the grocery three wax rack packs.

To this day whenever I see unopened 87 Fleer or Donruss, I always want to buy it and rip it.

My favorite recent set is, by far, the 2005 Upper Deck Heroes. I've been aggressively collecting the Will Clark set, and am getting pretty close to my goal of having every card numbered to five or greater.

2005 UD Heroes

Huh. I just noticed this page doesn't seem to be working properly. I'll have to fix that...

Wow I might have to stop and check those out. All the cards I buy at Wal Mart have creases in 3 out of 4 corners of every card. How much are those per box?

I've got to agree with this. It is a very rewarding product and those blue refractors are amazing looking cards. And of course A&G ranks right up there.

For $20 a box for retail, hard to beat. Be right back, headed to Walmart.

I like the cards that come with gum

Wow I need to check that out as well, be sure to post scans when you open them!

I just ripped a box of chrome after my 1980 BB from the group rip came up with little (other than a nice Gary Carter and Eck.). I've busted 5 boxes of those, they are kinda addictive.

Here's a good one from a retail box I opened yesterday

Very nice I look forward so seeing more

Allen & Ginter... Topps is getting close to "that" line this year with more subsets and nutball stuff, but the set's design and tone are still enough to bring me back for another year. 06 helped bring me back to the hobby. Haven't found anything else that gets me like it, though some of the Heritage style products spur me to throw down a few bucks for a blaster or two.

I also think that Randy Johnson should endorse Viagra or Cialis when he retires.

Haha good idea was it a pitcher or QB who did that not too long ago, I want to say Brett Favre but I might be wrong... Nolan Ryan maybe?

1972 Topps baseball cards. I started buying cards in 1970, but 1972 is when I first began collecting heavily. I loved the wild and varied colors, the many subsets, and the sheer size of the set. I loved the cards then and I still do today. Besides all that other stuff, today it also evokes happy memories like no other set can.

2001 Topps Archives Autos - I started the set awhile ago, but gave up after some of the sP's hardly ever show up. The most expensive I bought from the set was a brett for $500. I still have several of the lesser expensive ones.

I can't believe this yogi just sold for over $1000

My favorite set by far is the 2006 Bowman Heritage. My wife and I ripped about 4 cases of this stuff. We found so many cool cards and everything. Most people don't like this set, but I have a lot of memories that have come from ripping. We ripped so much that I now have a Master set. I never thought I would have a master set of anything in my life.

Sentimental reasons, I was 9 years old and enjoying the fun of ripping.

Agree on that one too...I like all the retro sets (my favorite being topps archives though).

I sold the red inks, but still have the blue inks. I collect at least one auto from each year. I was really curious why they didn't have a cepeda in the 2007 (1958) set??
