I'm probably good for a few boxes, possibly a case. I had great luck on the inaugural product. I pulled a N43 Boxtopper Barry Bonds autograph. I unloaded it for a lot more than I expected. When I saw that they just rolled over the design in subsequent years, I stayed away. Now that they've made a small changeup in design, I'm interested again.
Received this back from the guy who broke the code (less than a week turn around)...and he's signing his '09 card if you'd like to send him one. It is an SP and I'm sure he'd appreciate any extras you can send along if you have any after rippage.
Well I was going to stay away from A&G this year and go to the All Star game instead, but we just bought a new puppy Friday and since he will be too young to leave by himself for that long I guess I'll have to order a case instead of going to the game.

Glad to hear it!
I was wondering what you meant earlier by "us" having a good time ripping...and not including yourself in that lot.
Being a Cardinals fan I was hoping to see the All Star game in St. Louis, but Kansas City is supposed to host it in the next couple of years and my wifes sister lives there so it just makes more sense to wait until then.
Are the minis going to be the same size as previous years, or are they going to be jacked up like Mayo football minis?

Case has been purchase! Have any of you guys purchased from martinsc on ebay before? I'm not worried (well after the lr incident maybe a little) he's at 100% with over 6,000 fb, just curious.
<< <i>what is the upside down thing they are referring to? >>
There were a few cards issued in last years Topps set that were "mysteriously" printed upside down. The cards looked the same, with the team name at the top, but the picture of the player was upside down. I'm sure someone here will be able to provide a scan.

topps needs no gimmicks on Ginter, they are already sold out, the only thing that a super SP card would do is push up the price of this after the release and hopefully that won't effect many of us because we have already bought our cases and boxes. We also know that retail can be found and that the price of that won't ever go up at target or walmart.
Do we know for sure that the Bernie card was taken off the checklist? Can't wait!

Paul, I need about 15 sp cards to finish a 2008 set. When we start trading '09s, hopefully we can work something out.
I have several hundred minis around the house extra...I've gone through everyone's need lists and I think I had only one that someone needed. Just strange. I'm just going to throw it into the first trade I make with this person.
kevin, they sold out on heritage way early and that didn't stop the madness of 7 super sp's. So although they don't "need" the gimmicks, they can't resist anyhow.

I enjoyed seeing that video that guy really has a nice collection, but I bet we all together could give him a run for his money. Where is Tom with his no number set? Imagine the cards left in those rip cards! Two things I found interesting. Back in 2006 that Bonds would of been worth thousands I wonder what he paid? Also the Zimmerman postcard was supposed to be personlized, Ryan elected to just sign it...kinda of a rip off. Still a nice collection.
Oh and for those who missed 06-08, 2009 will start tomorrow via a video rip on beckett.com
Cool. Thanks for the info Joe! I really like the look of the mini black boarder and am glad they stuck with the black boarders for the relics / autos. On a side note if I pull the invisible man I hope to get his auto TTM.

You are correct. It will be the July 7th/8th time frame. Was orginally going to release tomorrow.

It's the 23rd. Blowout and the other big retails just need the extra 2 weeks to rip and reseal our boxes!

I've heard nothing about a size change, and imagine they will stick to the original dimensions of vintage A&G cards.

<< <i>So how many cases did you order Mike, do they sell cases of cases? >>
LOL only 1
that's a great idea though a 12 case case of cases
I did buy an unripped 07 rip card of Dice-K last week - maybe it'll be in my mailbox today when I get home
Doubt I'll rip it though - wasn't 07 the ones you can see through with a flashlight?
Now collecting:
Topps Heritage
1957 Topps BB Ex+-NM
All Yaz Items 7+
Various Red Sox
Did I leave anything out?
It states no Madoff in the subsets. Maybe a few will "slip" through.

As far as heritage, they did need the gimmick SP's because there was nothing else in the product, Ginter should be loaded, should be!

I would think a substitute would have to be Jason Isringhausen. The Cardinals making him a closer had to involve fraud on some level.
