    I really like how the championship relics are showing up 2 per case, they were almost impossible to pull the last few years, even though some of them
    are pieces of beard, yoyos and pixie dust.

    If you ended up ripping that, I was going to at least make an inquiry!

    Which reminds me. I've still got that Pocket Pages Frank for you. I still haven't even cut out the Butler.

    my case is at home, i bought a box locally at lunch to tide me over.
    2 relics (tex, v wells),
    blue ink - ted somebody - negro leaguer
    the usual other stuff - nothing earth shattering.

    Make sure you allow overseas buyers when you list that Wang.

    You may also want to list it in both sports cards and adult listings.

    I'm hoping Steve.
    Btw, the assumption is that 301-350 are SP's?

    Great case breaks so far. I just got confirmation from blowout that they shipped and they even upgraded to 2nd day air for free to get here by Friday. So if things go right and the ups site isn't wrong I should have all 15 boxes to rip Friday. I think this will be the first time I've had my product the week of release, not including the few boxes I picked up locally in the past!

    Wow, Dave - that's a huge pull. The only downside is that Wang has not had a good year. I wonder if it'd be worth waiting until he comes off the DL and maybe regains his form? Since I almost never sell, does anyone know if Wang's cards still sell well?

    Even if I don't pull anything great it will give me a reason not to do any gardening or canning for the day. I've already canned more pickles and relish than a burger joint could use in a year. image

    Congrats Kevin, looks like you are going to be the King of hits this year! Unless Nick comes up with another cut auto this year, but I'm pretty sure he is steering clear of A&G this year so you should be safe.

    You are no longer HERITAGE GOD! You are now hereby crowned GINTER GOD!!

    Way to go Kevin!! I will be driving two hours tonight just to meet a guy to pick up my case so I can crack it in my hotel room tonight. I won't have a scanner but I will give a case summary either tonight or tomorrow.

    Good luck to the rest of the guys!!

    My daughter was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at the age of 2 (2003). My son was diagnosed with Type 1 when he was 17 on December 31, 2009. We were stunned that another child of ours had been diagnosed. Please, if you don't have a favorite charity, consider giving to the JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation)

    I thought all the DNA hair cards were 1/1 ? I see a Burke Kenny on ebay and the hair looks different than yours so I'm assuming that's not yours up for sale.

    .......agrees with Doran, Mike will overcome. The Dice K card is probably the best looking card in the set.

    really? sweet, Haven't seen it yet - was it scanned in here? Think I'd rather wait till I pull one to see it now

    I thought the Lincecum card was the nicest looking one that I pulled so far

    This has been a good day of rips guys! The rest of my boxes aren't shipping until tomorrow from what I understand...so early/mid next week for me. Boo.

    Is anyone noticing the Baseball Highlights cards coming in series? In box one I got numbers 20, 21, 22, and 23, and in box two I got 8, 9, 10, and 11.

    Looks like there are at least two unlisted mini inserts falling about 1 per case (ala the snake from 07):

    - future inventions FI 1-5 (1 per case?)
    - extinct animals EA 1-5 (1 per case?)

    The other published mini sets are

    creatures of legend LMT 1-20 (1 per 2 boxes)
    bamboozles GHHB 1-20 but card #2 is madoff and apparently not printed (2 per box)
    national heroes NH 1-40 (2 per box)

    The good news is, if I pull a wood, I won't mind selling it since it won't be the Lincecum.
