    Zep,

    I think that is really classy of you to change your BIN from $499 to $899 on the Hairston. That could really help ArchStanton on his listing.

    Zep definitely is top notch (except that he roots for Boston).

    Im not big on Harrison, but Im sure he is a scrub, you guys are making out big time! To think, what if the super sp was Soto or Fu*udome? 1500? 2 grand?

    Nick...which cut are you going to pull this time?

    Anyone notice on chrome card 284, they spelled his name wrong on the front? Alexi Casilla spelled Castilla.

    His base card is spelled correctly.

    I don't have the refractor or the black to check those

    I have 2 chrome cards and they are both spelled wrong

    I have seen Kaline autos live on ebay, so they are definitely being sent out. I would not expect the Darrell Rasner autos to be produced. He was listed on the Real One checklist, but I haven't seen any of his autos. There is a redemption for a Rasner / Skowron dual /25, along with possibly some Rasner CC autos /25, but since he is now playing in Japan, I don't have much faith in Topps.

    Also, Maicer Izturis' card is misspelled. Itzuris on the front, Izturis on the back.

    I've seen a few eBay sellers auctioning Heritage high number jumbo packs containing thirteen Heritage and two Topps U&H. Where are these from? All the hobby, retail, and blaster box packs I've seen have had six Heritage, not thirteen. Just curious.

    And I think the serial numbering is pretty interesting. The first couple that surfaced were around 0150/1959, then one showed up that was 0002/1959. That indicates to me that there are at least ~200 copies of this card. Theres something fishy going on.

    usually jumbo packs have 48-50 cards in them. that's kind of a small Jumbo even with the extra thickness of Heritage cards

    It's actually 13 heritage cards and 3 U&H cards, and Walmart had/has them for $5.99 each.

    A guy on the Topps' forum says he has 0143/1959. The four currently on eBay all are 0172/1959 or lower. Where did the cards currently available come from: hobby, retail, or blaster boxes?

    This doesn't relate to the 2008 High Numbers, but I do have a question for the Heritage experts on the board. In trying to complete the autograph sets, there are a couple which I haven't seen a single time in the now 3 years I have been collecting them. If someone can confirm that the 2004 Harry Elliott and 2006 Lou Kretlow autos do in fact exist, I would greatly appreciate it.

    Thanks in advance,
    Brad

    1) Im guess its topps update jumbos
    2) If they are heritage jumbos, at 6 bucks a pack the odds would have to be better than hobby packs!

    Yeah, I see them at Target all the time. I think it's 13 Heritage cards and 3 of the regular U&H cards. I got 2 of them and, I think, they were $4.99 per (hmmm, maybe $5.99 now that I think of it).

    Jason, go pick up the case yourself. Weather delays, pshaw!

    To answer boiler75, I am 100% certain that the Harry Elliott auto does not exist. There are other autos on the 2006 checklist which I don't think exist - Brooks Robinson, Jerry Schoonmaker, Ken Kuhn, Lou Kretlow, and Rene Valdes are all still on my checklist.

    Nick..you da man, Those odds sucks for 5 bucks, you can buy a hobby pack for less with better odds...the only thing that has better odds than hobby are the rarer
    relic cards, which ironically sell better than the autos at times!

    Are these blister packs?

    Thanks

    The group A relics are actually starting to outsell the duals in some cases. I'm pretty sure the last couple of Kalines & Cepedas sold for more than the Kaline/Granderson and Cepeda/Lewis duals. I've picked up all of the group B vintage relics but haven't sniffed a single group A yet. I refuse to pay $100+ for those. I'll pick 'em off eventually.
