    << <i>you did good with the twins ross, i'm interested in the liriano plate, casilla auto, and the young no # >>



    Sounds good! The auto and NNO are both for trade. The plate, I'm not sure what I'm going to do yet, but I'll definitely field offers.

    I'm looking for regular minis and mini insert cards mostly. I'll be updating my trade page throughout the next day. >>



    sounds good, i dont have much you need for 09 and wont be buying anymore until i can get some retail cause I only need the mini's now. once i get more, i'll have a better 09 tradelist. I did look at your 07 and 08 wants and i have about 50 different mini's you need so we should be able to figure something out

  • All of my cards are sorted, buy I'm a glutton for punishment and ordered 3 more boxes this morning, so hopefully Friday I'll be able to post a trade list.
  • Anyone have a problem with off-centered minis? About 12 out of 48 from two boxes I opened were miscut or off-center, some with almost no white border on one side...including a couple black borders and a No # mini!

    Yeah not real happy about that...otherwise this is my favorite product of the year to open.
  • TNP777TNP777 Posts: 5,711 ✭✭✭
    My two boxes are in hand. If you happen to be driving northbound on Hwy 99 in central CA right now, be on the lookout for the maniac that's ripping Ginter, drinking coffee and typing on his iPhone!

    Nothing says ginter season more than the ginter car coming down the road at you (on the wrong side of the road!)

    Yes and the the backs on quite a few are very OC. The print on the backs on a few are almost running off the side. Bad QA by Topps.

    Jeez, between you and Kurt driving while opening cards and assorted other non-driving tasks, it's no wonder I've always found driving in the great state of California (insert bodybuilding Austrian accent) to be a joy...
  • jeffcbayjeffcbay Posts: 8,949 ✭✭✭✭
    At least I waited to open my box until I got to Taco Bell's parking lot! Gotta love lunch-break rippings... image
  • TNP777TNP777 Posts: 5,711 ✭✭✭
    OK, one box in. Here are the quick results:

    Lotsa base
    Some SPs
    N43 Manny
    Crack the Code: Kemp, Martin, Vlad (two for my Dodger set image )
    Relics: Chipper, Rollins, DeWitt
    Baseball Highlights: 7, 8, 9, 10
    National Heroes: Turkey, Ukraine
    Hoaxes: Demara, bathtub
    Black minis: Liriano, Carpenter, Shields
    A&G backs: 6, including Porcello SP
    Base minis: 11, including 2 SPs (Ginter code dude, Gatling)

    Pretty happy with the box. Several Dodger inserts for my set. I'll be trading all my minis for Dodger parallels.

    I'll bust the second box later today if I get a chance. Otherwise it'll be tonight when I get home from work.
  • I will have a trade list by Wednesday night, my goal this year is to complete a regular mini set so I hope I can get some help with that here. Also does anyone know when A&G hits target or walmart?
  • Some guy is claiming to have cracked the code. We'll see. Anyone here trying?

    Unsure, but the guy who pulled the Lincoln hair said he got it from a Target box a few days back.

  • I think I will have to check target today and yes I have heard that someone has cracked the code but I don't know if it is true
  • zep33zep33 Posts: 6,897 ✭✭✭
    my lunch break found me buying another box today. 3 hours till I get home to rip

    box 11 of 12 with no rip card yet through the first 10

    buddy of mine has bought 4 boxes and has pulled 2 rip cards already

    image


  • Just opened my 4 boxes I ordered and in all 4 the "hits" were the top 3 packs of each box. Is it supposed to be like that or just a coincidence?

    I always open mine left to right. Had 1 or 2 that had a hit on the first pack and a few that had 2 in a row somehwer in the middle of the box. The rest were random in the box. Never had all 3 hits in a row though

    Checking in from the East Coast. Grabbed 7 packs from a local shop and there was a Merritt auto in it. Hoorah for beer!

    Also, in the bargain bin at the same shop was a Johnny Podres 2008 Stadium Club auto for $4. Wasn't til I got back to the in-laws and was looking at it closely and noticed it's a 1/1 Platinum Parallel. Amusing.

    12 packs in. No ink or relics. Usual run of minis.

    13th pack.....oh, so that's what a rip card looks like. /99 Yadier Molina. In honor of him doing something special in tonight's game (and thereby earning the Dodgers home field advantage in the World Series image ), I'll be ripping it.

    I grabbed two more boxes today. Box #3 was pretty swell. Box #4 wasn't as good, but it wasn't bad.

    I think I will only collect the Pirates and Negro League minis...maybe some of the subsets, too.
