So I return to the scene of the crime and start buying more of the boxes that came from my Phelps case. Let's just say it was a loaded case. Scans to come.
Nothing really scan worthy in box 9 either, closest thing is the extinct creatures card. I hate it when the first part of the case is strong and it gets really weak the last few boxes.

Here is the rest of the case, I was hoping to buy just a box of two and hit the rip card, when I got to the last box I really didn't think I would get a rip card because of all that was in this case. Needless to say there was a rip card.
These first:
Which made a total of 3 cloth cards in the case
I really like how easy the celeb relics are falling.
This was in a box with a Longoria auto!
So after my big hit which I will save for last, I did not expect a rip card in the last box. Here is what that yielded:
Im sure I will be ripping this one!
oh and this:
Very nice!
and here is big one, which I again was telling myself that I was destined to pull:
Kevin is certainly the King of Ginter this year...but Doran, you're holding your own. Heck, a lot of folks are. I hope I have half of Kevin's luck next week.
I hate UPS. Yesterday they left a notice saying that I could sign the notice and they would leave the package... today I get home with another notice saying that I can't just sign for it I have to be here too. If it would have said that YESTERDAY I would made sure someone was here! I have a request to schedule a pickup at the sort facility tonight... we'll see how it goes.
edited to add: awesome hits Doran!

Thanks Paul, good luck picking up your case tonight. Well 10 boxes of the case down and still no rip card, but this box brought the case back to hot again.

11 boxes down and still no rip card, hopefully it's in the last box I really don't want to have to write Topps a letter with all the UPC codes included. Box 11 was pretty uneventful.

Thanks guys, it would have been a good case for a Sox fan. Mike I'm calling box 4 for your big hit. Anybody know how many code cards there are supposed to be? I didn't see them on the checklist.
box 2 (3rd overall) was quite strange. Every National Pride card I already had, every short print I already had and only 3 packs had a total of 7 base cards that I needed
got some ink though - Denard Span Jermaine Dye - bat Dontrelle Willis - jersey
Mark Teahen - no # 13/50 Colby Rasmus - AG back and black mini
OK, came home with 5 boxes from my local to keep me in the game until the case arrives early next week. Just started cracking and nothing of note to report just yet, but two questions already: 1) Anyone else pull a Melvin Mora crack the code card? He's all out of proportion, with a gnome like giant head - maybe it's like that on his base card too, but I haven't pulled one yet. 2) The "image" of A-Rod on the Baseball Highlights #AGHS16 card is pretty awful, I think it looks more like Girardi than A-Rod, and let's face it, those guys aren't exactly twins.
Hopefully some hits later tonight/tomorrow as ripping time permits. Just got caught up on reading this thread, and as someone else noted, I think all the hits may have been used up already...
I am putting together my trade list tonight and tomorrow. PM me with what you are looking for. I am going to flip a coin on the black or the AG backs. I never wanted to do the black, but this years looks great. I am trading away all my relics as well.
Looking foward to getting my trade page current and going from there.

One just ended on ebay for $102.50. I was thinking it would go for more than that. But, that's still a good amount for a card that I will sell (or trade).
The rest of the case will begin being ripped as soon as this drink is done and the next is made

A David Wright Auto'd Box Topper, and its numbered 5/15 his jersey number I wonder if that adds any value. The funny thing is I also pulled a Wright Auto'd box topper last year.

This is rather smart on their behalf...it'll take a lot of hunting and pecking to figure this out.

I did get a good silk. I hope they like it on ebay, because that is where it is going.
