Old Dusty looks sea sick,, i spent 120 on retail and got 2 chromes and a bunch of ugly cards, wow, wondering what you guys see in this series,,just saying,,j
1 stamp H. Ramirez/Swisher 4 game used Votto, Wright, 2 Felix Hernandez 1 green tint Volquez 13 blue tints 1 black ref Edwin Jackson 7 refractors 20 chromes have sorted so not sure about sp's
I am officially done ripping now, I am going to sort and I will give you guys a complete break down by the end of the weekend.
Have to love the USPS, two cases shipped from the same location at the same time and they only manage to get me one today (even though they were both supposed to be here yesterday). On a plus side the half case coming from California that wasn't supposed to be here until tomorrow came today. 18 box rip starting now.

Not good, Doran. Sorry to hear your boxes weren't better than that. Given what Joe and I pulled, I'd say that was a really poor case.
Seeing the breaks this year and last makes me feel better and better about my decision not to buy them any more. There's no excuse for Topps not putting more value in these cases. Used to be we could count on a minimum of 3-4 autos per case. Now you get one, and chances are that you'll pull some guy that pitched a couple innings in the league and then was gone.
I really hope you have some better luck in the fresh case.
I'm not worried about it Joerdie, there are much worse ways to spend money. Now onto the fresh case. Box 1 8 Short Prints 2 NAP 2 BF 2 NF 1 T&N 2 Chrome 1 Refractor J. Johnson Jersey Raul Ibanez Black Refractor

I've bought 4 cases over the years and have gotten a total of 1 autograph. Guess I'm due this year, box #3 getting opened now!

Not sure if anyone else is seeing the same luck, but I ripped 3 WM blasters and got squat, 1 Target and game a GU.

I gotta say, I'd be thrilled to pull an auto from guys like Banks, Brooks or Stan - not only are they baseball legends of yesteryear, but the fact that they have proven to be gentlemen off the field makes them that much more special. Believe me, I'd be absolutely thrilled to pull a Sandy auto, but even as a Dodger hero he doesn't hold quite the same allure as the aforementioned chaps.
Guess I'm a glutton for punishment, my wife is bringing me 4 more hobby boxes when she gets off work....hoping my luck changes a bit. Not sure when or if my other case is going to show up, it left the Kansas City facility at 3:45 a.m. yesterday......Kansas City is only about 3 hours away.

Now here is the super odd thing-
24 Green bordered refractors. Is this normal? Every pack had at least one, one pack had 3.

Anthony, the green refractor in every pack occurs in one box out of every hobby case. You won't see another green refractor in the rest of the case.
Pull any Dodgers?
edit: just reread and saw that one pack had three of them. Very cool!

I bought 4 Blasters @ target Monday and Tuesday. Pulled 2 Black Refractors
I have since bought 4 more blasters and 9 loose packs. I pulled one chrome and some SPs, but not much else.
So Target is hit and miss.
Hey if anyone wants to sell off their base cards (once sp's are clarified) shoot me a pm. I will buy base from any year including this year.
thx, jim
