Just got back from the store with a hobby box of 2009 SPX Baseball. I will post highlights here as I get them.

    Sweet! Get to rippin!
  • daddymcdaddymc Posts: 3,080 ✭✭✭
    The first 4 packs yielded the first jersey hit, a nice dual of Burnett and Halladay. Should be 4 in the box by the time I finish. Collation is kind of wierd, as I have already pulled two of the base Dimaggio cards. One of the Dimaggio insert set so far:

    4 more packs and another hit. This time a Magglio dual. Some star power in the base and Retrospective cards. Another Dimaggio insert. I thought it was the same card, but just the same pic. I hope they mix up the images some.

    Pre-congrats...let's see!!
    How much is SPX? I might need to buy some too!
  • daddymcdaddymc Posts: 3,080 ✭✭✭
    Nothing huge, but the next 4 packs yielded 3 more hits. A nice Braun jersey, a Tejada jersey, and a Swisher jersey with some ink.

    Then being a Steve Carlton fan, it's a rare treat to actually pull one from a pack anymore.

    $130 for this box. I was just happy that the local shop actually had something worth buying today.

    arghh - just called the shop and he has no unopened boxes left. I should have 2 of them on Tuesday though.

    I do have a box of Piece of History and 3 Heritage blasters to rip sometime this weekend though


  • daddymcdaddymc Posts: 3,080 ✭✭✭
    No patch card, but the last six packs yielded one more hit. A neat Schilling dual jersey. Some young star power, and a couple more Dimaggio inserts.

    Buyback pack rip to follow.

    I ripped through a box of Piece of History the other night and didn't pull anything really exciting. Wasn't too thrilled with the design either. But I did get a John Hurt Outlander Vest card though. image

    And my first buyback is....a 2001 SP Legendary Ryne Sandberg bat card. Was hoping for some ink, but oh well. Still fun to pull.

    I've opened a few boxes of Piece of History this year. Best I've got so far are a Dexter Fowler auto I think.

    and a Hollywood piece of a robe from Casablanca
  • zep33zep33 Posts: 6,897 ✭✭✭
    good rip. my last SPX had a Fisk bat from the same set as that Sandberg

    go buy more

    The auto I pulled was an A's rookie pitcher. Josh Outman #'d to 99. Don't know any about him at all.

    zep - Dexter Fowler is now up with the Rockies and looks good as a future starting OF.

    I think I will just continue to update this thread as I break new boxes. Today I was able to make a rare Thursday trip to the local shop and picked up a box of 2009 Finest Baseball and 2008-2009 Topps Signature Basketball. Here are scans of the highlights:

    Think I will have to get a box or two of the 09 Finest. Love the design.
  • daddymcdaddymc Posts: 3,080 ✭✭✭
    I do too. Wish I would have bought the other box there.

    Stamp "Heritage" somewhere on the basketball auto cards and Lil Kevie will tell you how awesome that box was.

    #'d to 2499. I like Howard as a player though and happy with the pull. Got Stockton out of a box last week.

    Nice FInest. LMK if the Bowden is FT.

    I don't think I have seen a Topps Sig box WITHOUT a T Young in it yet!!
  • fur72fur72 Posts: 2,348 ✭✭
    Love the finest. I recieved the #7 redemption too but not gold. I am sure we will reap millions when the player is exposed.

    How much is a box of the topps sig. basketball. Those are some cool cards with a ton of hits for 1 box.
  • daddymcdaddymc Posts: 3,080 ✭✭✭


    << <i>How much is a box of the topps sig. basketball. Those are some cool cards with a ton of hits for 1 box. >>



    $140 for a box of 8 packs. Each pack has 4 cards with one being an auto. One of the autos will be a group A auto.

    Do you know how long before they reveal who the redemptions are?

    Not quite as good as yesterday, but fun nonetheless. I really like the design of these. An interesting choice of action shot for Sabathia:

    What do the finest boxes sell for?
  • daddymcdaddymc Posts: 3,080 ✭✭✭
    I've been paying $100. You get two mini-boxes in the box. Each mini-box has 6 packs with an auto rookie in each mini-box as well. 5 cards per pack and a refractor in each pack as well.

    I hope so. They are nice looking cards. Don't know much about Travis Snider though.

    Stopped by the shop again this week and noticed a box of 2007 SP Rookie Edition Baseball sitting on the shelf and thought I'd buy it. Thought it would be a good break to find a few candidates for my upcoming April Special submission. Will probably send in both Brauns, Lincecum, Dice-K, and the Chipper. Here are some scans:

    Bottom left corner on the Dice-K is fine, just some fuzz on the CS1.

    nice stuff man! If you are interested in trading, I would love to get the Yankee hits

    Love the 07 SP Rookie Ed. I have subbed 6 cards so far from one free box (Dacardworld) and all were 10's.
  • jswietonjswieton Posts: 2,870 ✭✭✭
    What is a good price for a box of the 07 SP rookie edition?
