Thanks, everyone -- for all the fun of this thread. It seems like every year I get closer and closer to getting sucked in. Right now, I am so eager to buy case after case of this product. In the meanwhile, I truly appreciate everyone's love and passion for collecting. It is truly a joy to read through threads like this.
Good luck on continued great pulls and some better rips than Kevin's :-)
I am actively buying MIKE SCHMIDT gem mint baseball cards. Also looking for any 19th century cabinets of Philadephia Nationals. Please PM with additional details.
Great rips so far I cannot wait to get my hands on a case. I just purchased one from eBay for $930 dlvd using 8% cashback and 2% with ebay bucks so not a bad deal. Hopefully it will be here by Saturday.
I will mention this, the first card I saw when I started my rips was the back of the Ryan Howard card. 288 packs last the last card I would see would be the same Ryan Howard card. That might of been the best part!
<< <i>Is that Felix just a normal base card or a special variation? >>
It is whats called an extended mini. These are card #'s 351-400 which can only be found in rip cards. We never quite know the print runs on them but judging by the pull odds this year and that not all of the rip cards are numbered to 99 like last year, these are going to be rarer than usual.
Wow, just got home and have seen some amazing breaks! You did real good this year, Kevin.
If I've kept track the right way, I see some nice Dodger stuff:
Stoney - Kemp auto Kevin - Kershaw auto Dave - Billingsley bazooka
I know a lot of you guys are doing mini sets this year. If you come up with dupes, I'll be attempting the Dodger mini run again (base through bazooka).
way to go kevin. nice rips. tough rip card, but no guts, no glory. i ripped all 3 of mine last year...to not much luck either. I'll be putting all my big hits on ebay, but I'll post here first to give you guys first dibs....and to pickup some a&G minis.
Great stuff so far guys! While Blowout still hasn't shipped my 3 boxes, I did get some great news about my case, it went out today and is scheduled for delivery Friday! Rippage before the weekend.
nice rips great pulls. ONLY?????????? Is the Cat Osterman going to be a hoax card?????
I have seen ebay auctions not only for the redemption auto BUT ALSO A REDEMPTION FOR THE RELIC (unsigned/just the relic). My concern is how could topps not have the piece of unifrom (or whatever) to make the relic card already in hand.???????
I'll still buy the CAT redemptions for $10 () nowing full well I'll receive any auto but HERS when the friendly folks at topps cave in to the realization they don't/won't have any "CAT" Osterman auto's.
Topps has occasionally put relic redemptions into products. Back in 2001 they had to issue an Eddie Mathews bat redemption. Last year I pulled a Curtis Granderson bat redemption (how lame is that?). I am seeing a few redemptions pop up, hopefully it won't be the usual 6-8+ weeks wait on them.
I think today might be the big day that we see a wood 1/1 pulled.
Loaded product, hopefully some blasters hit the local stores soon !! Until then, I'm living this great release thru you guys. Thanks for sharing great stuff so far...
Sig: Looking for a recent smr magazine, Please pm if you have one to recycle. Thank You
If you recall - the snakes were 1/case a few years ago, but then the retail boxes were loaded with them. Sell the invention cards now to the guys that will pay up front and then get them back when they tank in 3 months.

How much more do you think the card would be worth if it was a piece of her game used panties instead of jersey?

Depends on whether or not it has sweat stains on it. Oh - sorry. That was uncalled for - but funny no less!
Also - hello guys! It's been nearly a year

12 base sp 2 code cards 4 Highlights 2 National Heros 2 Hoodwinks 3 Blackborder 10 regular minis 2 regular mini sps 6 A&G back minis 1 A&G back sp 1 Auto: Dick Fosburg 2 Relics: Cameron Bat, Gallardo Jersey
Yipee, Skippy. Local just called to say his shipment arrived and he set aside 2 boxes. I have to go home to pick up a sick kid, so it will be 1 box in the car on the way home and 1 during naptime. Good news and bad news all rolled into 1.
After pulling the silk, it was no surprise that my 3rd hit in box 2 would be a plain Eric Chavez jersey...but there is always room for hit number 4....
Conclusion:
I like pulling two 1 per case cards in a single box.
I also pulled a George Washington National Heros card that I like.
Thanks for the well wishes guys, here are the totals
2 with two boxes:
24 base SP, including Jason Wong (code breaker) and Porcello RC 6 Black Border Minis, Utley, Van Gogh, Custer 18 regular minis 4 regular SP minis 11 A&G back minis 2 A&G back SP minis 4 National Hero minis, including G. Washington 4 Hoodwinks minis 1 Creatures of Legend, Werewolf 4 Code Cards 8 Baseball Highlights, including Thomas, Griffey, Jeter 4 Relics, Cameron, Chavez, Gallardo, and Utley 1 Auto, Dick Fosbury 1 Silk, LaShawn Merritt 1 RIP Card (RIPPED), James Loney 1 Extended Mini, 389 Teixeira
Didn't make it home with boxes intact (did witness 2 fender benders), but, as Kevin would say, ehhh. 6 relics cards (1 of a fish and 1 of some motocross dude), 4 hoax, 4 black, 4 heroes, a hydra a unicorn and a Lester no number. Full recap to follow
