The value boxes haven't been that great for me. Bought four of them and got a refractor of Robinson Cano. Not much else but I did redeem a code card and got a David Wright die cut.
For those that didn't catch my show report from yesterday, Kurt left me a little gift at one of the dealer booths - an Ethier black refractor and a Kuroda base chrome.
Today's mail yielded a nice gift from another old friend. Nick (nam812) sent me both needed Target red borders, Kershaw & Kemp.
Kurt and Nick, thanks very much!

I just bought two blister packs. These include 3 packs of cards and one pack of black border cards. A few observations:
1) The blister packs looked old and were beaten up. 2) The hit is in a different place, NOT the third card from the back but the 4th card. 3) I did not open up either black border pack, one had Ryan Howard on the front and the other had a Home Run leader card, but the border wasn't black it was white. anyone pull any of these? 4) I did not pull a Koufax auto
Hey Lee shoot me a PM with what you need and If I got them I will send them out to you I have nothing but commons and Sp's didnt get anything too special from the heritage search . If I got it you can get it . Just let me know .

White Bordered in the three card exclusive pack? that ive never heard of. is the card on the back numbered starting with "HP"?
ive been able to find 9 blister packs so far, and all of them have the "old beaten up" look do to the black borders. the packs looked that way last year as well for the 2011 Blisters in the 30 or so blisters that i opened

The ebay listings for the black bordered cards all show cards 92-100 do not have black borders but are numbered HP. Some listings push "possible ssp", but none of these eight cards are listed with a black border.
so topps makes black bordered cards that look like black refractors on ebay pictures and numbered they the same on the back hp##? Some poeple have been paying obscene prices for Jeter. Do they think they are the black refractors?

Sorry if this has been covered in this thread, but I have a question on card #280, Brett Lawrie. On the back it shows the RBI column with Steals info (see bio). (I noticed how there were more HRs than RBIs.)
Was this a variation or just an uncorrected error? Here's the card back:
Complete shot in the dark but you never know unless you ask.
I am down to 13 cards to finish up my 2001 Master checklist set. Does anyone have any of these:
Dual CC relic MINNIE MINOSO FRANK THOMAS Dual CC Relic EDDIE MATHEWS CHIPPER JONES Dual CC Relic RICHIE ASHBURN SCOTT ROLEN
Dual TC relic Willie Mays Ted Williams
Red ink autograph Mark Buerhle Red ink autograph Magglio Ordonez Red ink autograph Randy Wolf Red ink autograph Geoff Jenkins Red ink autograph Matt Lawton Red ink autograph Cliff Floyd Red ink autograph Mike Sweeney Red ink autograph Corey Patterson
Willie Mays 1952 autoproof
Please let me know if you have one of these or know someone who does.
Your punishment for that joke is you must now send me any card on my list that you may have (*cough* wolf red *cough*)
I exchanged emails last week with a collector who says he has a Mays autoproof locked away in a safety deposit box. He has assured me that when the card sees the light of day again he will send me a scan.
Scares me to think what I would pay for that card if one came up for auction.
Does anyone know for sure if that card was distributed as a box topper or redemption?
and if I owned a Willie Mays autoproof the first thing I would do before putting it in my safe deposit box would be to take a scan or picture of it. Just saying.
I'd really like to trade my SPs away before listing them on ebay. Also, is anyone doing any of the chromes or refractors I have listed above? They're collecting dust on my desk, so I'd like to move them all.
How money was topps for including Matt Kemp autographs into heritage this year? Not only that but to pair him will Willie Mays. I wonder if these cards will ever be made?
After busting through two more Target boxes, here is my updated Trading list. I'm looking for Chromes, Refractors, and Black Refractors:

So much for my myth buster theory. Another value box today. This time from target. Nothing huge but I have opened blasters that had less. Very happy about the Jeter.

Nice pulls! My brother bought me a box of Heritage at Target for my birthday yesterday and I didn't get a thing...best card was a Torii Hunter Chrome card...
<< <i>I noticed wal-mart marked down the football value boxes to 9.99 - When the baseball drop to 9.99 Ill buy them all and help out with your experiment. >>
I believe there was two price drops to the 2011 value boxes. They could be even cheaper than 10 bucks. I still think these are loaded.
