edit: bad enough that I had to chase one of them, but two (if it's true that there are Winn and Lewis variations) is too much to ask. Actually, I'm fully expecting the 7th variation to be Randy Johnson, so it could possibly be three.
Wasn't trying to be a hatter. Kevin could have simply stated "Update on SP's". Breaking News!!! sounds like someone pulled a 1/1 Poops McGee auto or something.
no point in looking until we have all 7 identified. ummm, wait, that's how someone might discover it. ok, I'll shut up now while you all work hard on your commons! pm me if anyone needs any autos from 06 or 04...in the same lot with the gordon cutout, i picked up full auto sets from each year. i figured you guys would want some.

To trade, I have the following SPs: 427, 434, 443, 444, 452, 457, 469, 476, 495, lots of commons and inserts; chrome: 42 Rios, 70 Reyes, 75 Pedroia; refractors; 20 Wright, 37 F*kudome, 28 Sheets, 35 Hamels, 70 Reyes: black refractors: 17 Fowler, 41 Chien-Ming Wang (will trade these blacks for chromes).

Box 4 of Hobby Case (don't worry, I'll get back with scans from first 3 soon)
"New York Thirdbasemen box" Box Panel- Napoli/Wright/Antonelli Buy Back- Hal Brown 4 Chrome 1 Refractor (Wright) 7 SPs 2 BBFB (Marichal, F Robinson) 2 NFB 2 NAP (Manny, S.Drew) 1 T&N Banks/Howard GU- Carl Crawford (now have one from retail AND hobby hehe)
One pack had ARod regular card and ARod SP All Star card back to back, and a later pack had Rival All Stars, and I got the regular David Wright card as well. Crazy.
Box Panel- Clement/Arroyo/Tigers Team 4 Chrome (Hamels not scanned, since I put a Refractor up earlier) 2 Refractor (Lester, Gio Gonzalez) 9 SPs 2 BBFB (Maz, Banks) 2 NFB 1 NAP (Longoria) 2 T&N (Aparicio/Taveras, Friend/Halladay) GU- Dan Johnson uni
Nearly stroked out after I regained my eyesight from the retina burning Lester refractor to see it was followed by an SP, then Fred Lewis. But alas, it really was Fred Lewis, not Randy Winn. Istanbul must know what he feels like.
Ya know, if seller IDs determined bidder confidence, I'd be screwed...but I agree.
Also, Terry...I like Lockwood a lot, don't get me wrong, but he was really slow to ship my A&G last year as well. I'll probably purchase from him again this year, but I'll probably have some product from somewhere else too.
I have yet to find any of these variations -- I am surprised that none of us have discovered any of these but we have one more chance to do so. Time to go through my base cards!!!
<< <i>Wasn't trying to be a hatter. Kevin could have simply stated "Update on SP's". Breaking News!!! sounds like someone pulled a 1/1 Poops McGee auto or something. >>
Clay did tell me that we should be looking at the fronts of the card for the variation. I have a huge stack of cards but are just too lazy to put them all in order and compare fronts. I know someone here is motivated!
Well Joe Stalin was quite the dictator, but who knew he was a helluva prognosticator?!?!? He was either dead on for this box (normally true), or a bit early after you see what came in box 8 (shoulda been 7, but maybe I pulled them from the case out of order....).
Hobby Box 7 "Seeing Red" Panel - Fowler/S Drew/Feierabend Buyback - Hal Brown (2 in the same case! Why couldn't it be someone good?!?!) 8 SPs (Frank Thomas card just looks stellar imo) 5 Chrome (KRod, Lackey, Dunn, Nady, Kuroda (aka the Paul Simon song as a card =p)) 1 Refractor (Bruce) 2 BBFB (Mantle, Aparicio) 1 NFB 2 NAP (Lincecum, Kazmir) 2 T&N (Aparicio/Taveras, Friend/Halladay) Red Ink Dick Gray 20/60 (Appropriate that Stalin calls a box with Red Ink, no?)
Panel - Rival All Stars/ Simon / Dodgers Team Buyback- Willie Tasby (Shoulda been Pumpsie! or better yet that other Willie guy, 7 cards earlier in the set...) 8 SPs - including CC, Smoltz (no not that one), and Yankees/Reds/Red Sox/Cards Coaches 5 Chrome (E Santana, McLouth, Saunders, Delgado, Miguel Cabrera) 1 Refractor (Marson) 2 BBFB (Other Mantle, Richards) 1 NFB 2 NAP (Hamilton, Soto) 1 T&N (Friend/Lee) Some old guy and some new guy sharing a card: What? Another crappy insert?!?! =p
Ouch. Hope that was someone here that won it just to take out the item and neg the seller. And even if this was a legit auction, I don't think I could bid on it after seeing the way the card is placed in the top holder. Check out the scan at the bottom of the auction.
The only clue that Clay at topps gave me is that the variation happens on the front of the card, so don't waste your time with the backs. Thanks for all the trades, Yesterday I shipping four packages, Chris, Doran, Craig and Jeff C. More will go out soon. Lets get trading!!
Funny thing, pull up to Wal-Mart and start looking for some blasters. Can't find anything anywhere so I ask a cashier. He says go to toys, so I do. The lady doesn't understand english very well but clues in on the word "cards" and proudly shows me several card games, Uno and the like. I try and get her to understand Baseball but she isn't grasping it. I say "Futbol Cards" in my Mexican accent(not sure why) and she takes me to a Wilson football. I laugh and she thinks she has done well. "Gracias" I say and she walks off. I finish walking the toy department, check for figues and head for the all knowledgeable Customer Service Department. They always have answers, right? I was sent to look back up front by the registers where they have always been, nothing, nothing at all! I'm puzzled as I look for someone who might be in charge. Yep, she was directing workers to wipe up water coming from the cieling. When I enquire, she tells me the story and arguement with the manufacturer. I ask and she confirms Topps. Evidently, Topps is requiring minimum orders with Wal-Mart. Seems odd since everything comes out of a huge distribution center right here locally in San Antonio. Bottom line, no Sportscards of any sort from my local Wal-Mart, which gives me one more reason to stay away. Of course I've got 3 more within a 10 mile range Go to Target and buy 3 blasters and leave the last four boxes for someone else. I sure would like to catch the a$$whole who opened up the only three boxes of retail and sorted through them to find the "hot packs". I would rip thrm out of his hand and stomp on that red ink. Left those alone. I'm beginning to think that the blasters offer the best value. Three boxes for $64.64 and it seems there are some good pulls being landed. I'll post the three in a bit.
