edit: 2 phillies coaches SPs? wtf? I'm starting to notice that the collation is poor. Last two boxes had multiple dupes, including 3 Adrian Gonzalez (Pads).
Collation was awful in my case too Geordie, but look on the bright side, it just means that we can put together an even bigger trade! Keep rippin' the good stuff!
With it getting late, I'm speed ripping - cutting the top of the pack off and pouring the cards out four packs at time. With the SPs so easy to spot, it's just a matter of scanning for inserts & SSPs. Extra Winn & Lewis cards will go into a separate pile for burning. There will be pictures.
I've noticed a lot of boxes both hobby and retail without a relic/ink. Do you just rip the UPC code and mail that with wrappers from the box to Topps to see if they'll send you one?
Tim, there isn't any guarantee of a relic or SP in the retail boxes. Too bad - I'd have a lot of UPCs and wrappers to send back otherwise.
I'm done with the rip. I'm discouraged to say the least. I averaged 8.5 SPs per box. After pulling 6 of the 7 Joe needed for his set, I had 116 left over, of which only 59 were unique. 57 dupes leaves lots of trade bait, but I expected better collation than that. I pulled 4 Phillies coaches; I'm almost certain I only pulled 2 base Joe Torre cards. Sheesh. 30 or so unique chrome left with heavier than expected dupeage - I had triples of 2 different players. Yuck.
Insert sets are done with the exception of 1 T&N. I pulled a LOT of NAPs.
I did pull another black refractor - James Loney, so that was cool. Only the one ink - hope you need it, Kevin.
The intervention crew failed to show up again today, so after visiting 1 Target, 3 Kmarts, and 7 Walmarts I have 13 Jumbo Packs and 13 Blasters to open. Will it be lucky or unlucky #13 for me? Rip will start as soon as I get back from the post office.
I busted 4 blasters last night. Nothing to get excited about. No relics, no ink. Did fill some SP holes though. Hope to have a trade list up by tomorrow night.
Blaster 5 by far the strangest collation yet 3 packs had nothing but manager cards and each pack was the same. 2 Short Prints 2 NF 1 T&N 1 NAP Maybin Bat Mat Gamel Blue Auto
Whew! Finally ready for a trade list. I swung my first trade of the season with Joe after I got off work. I dropped off the 7 of 8 cards he needed to finish up; he handed me 7 that I needed. I also picked up 21 chromes and 6 relics, so big dents were made in all lists. Thanks, Joe!
OK, here are my needs & availables. Please change my PM inbox from " no new message(s)." to something with numbers & a flashing red icon!
Since I can't rip anything yet, thought I'd keep track of where my cards are on route to Michigan. Should get them Friday or Saturday I'm assuming.

Mr. Korcheck had a lifetime .159 batting average (which I think was better than Andruw Jones hit for the Dodgers last year) in 57 games. Wow.
I don't think I'm gonna bother with a scan.

I'm here with you, buddy! Nice pull on the Mendoza hitting Andruw Jones Wannabe. I hope you pull some Giants (and you know what I mean)!!!
Good luck with the rest.
Pumpsie
I think it ticks me off even more that my heart jumps a little every time I see the damnable Giants logo on the card.

UGH how about a Dan Johnson relic! Filled some big holes though and that is most important.
It took my 3 packs for me to figure out there would be no Mayo inserts. Never though about that.
