Interesting that they brought back the "Fan Favorites" tag after a few years on the shelf. Nice, clean on-card autos look amazing! I'm sold, I will be buying a few boxes.
They've done studies, you know. 60% of the time, it works every time.
<< <i>Interesting that they brought back the "Fan Favorites" tag after a few years on the shelf. Nice, clean on-card autos look amazing! I'm sold, I will be buying a few boxes. >>
You know I just noticed that looking at the autos on Ebay. All the auto are really nice, you can tell they took their time. Not the crap that I have seen from current players in Heritage and what not. Worst one I have seen so far has been Darvish and his is better that most of the autos I pulled from Heritage.
I am about to go buy 3 hobby boxes tonight after work, my local shop is selling them for $95. A little more than I wanted to pay, but for some reason I am like a kid in a candy store with this release. I am primarily a hockey guy, but this set has me excited for some dumb reason.
Good luck to everyone that buys some of this, if anyone is willing to trade, I will be trying to put together at least the 1-240 set if not all of the inserts as well.
..... rather than a Chris Chambers 1952 reprint auto in Lineage 2011 (which I got in a pack AND as a "comparable" replacement to a redemption Topps couldn't fulfil, (what are the chances !?))
Nothing against Chris Chambers....I'm just not old enough to make the connection.

Well I just talked to the lady that owns my Local shop and she has an unopened case that she will sell me for $880...I am usually a low end bottom feeder, but I am going to take the plunge and buy my first ever case. Now this may lead to a divorce if my wife finds out what I paid for "stupid worthless baseball cards", but at least I should have some trade bait for my brothers in cardboard.
I'll be getting a couple boxes but have to wait till Saturday cause I'm stuck at work all week till after the shop closes. My employee is on vacation and I can't get out of here. That's his last vacation I tell ya
We opened 4 boxes and pulled 2 PC cards I wanted and would have bought on eBay. Besides the two big autographs I pulled a couple base sets and a ton of cool insert cards. I think topps did a nice job with this product. It's a lot of fun.
But Geordie couldn't convince me this was a hot case so I am going to stop here. I will most likely buy a Mays autograph on eBay and call it good.
First box observations. The card stock is too thin, not sure if I like the reprints, the deckle cards are awsome! Over all alot of good stuff. Box 1 results below. No mini Sandberg in this box, it must be in the second one. Rippage coming.
First the Autos to very nice sigs
Second we have the deckles which are awsome.
My guess is these are foil?
The rest top are cloth, followed by 3D, then stickers I think they just used from Heritage.
I am looking to trade any of my inserts for giants inserts I don't have yet. Are you interested in trading that mays or marichal? >>
Let me get things sorted out. I plan on doing all the non auto insert sets. I am sure I will rip more than the 3 boxes I have so I will keep you in mind. Unless you just wanted to trade the Mays auto for Giants inserts straight up
so far I've landed 3 of the Butler autos. You guys that are still ripping, please keep me in mind if you pull the SPed Butler (#215). Topps informed me this morning that they have the giveaway boxes in hand and will be shipping mine in the next couple of days. I'll have a little trade bait.
<< <i>20-25 minute round trip to the card shop from work. Wonder if they'd notice if I closed the parts department at a car dealership for a bit today >>
I worked next to a quick lube place in High School and college and the guys that worked there call the Thursdays before Memorial Day weekend "National Oil Change Day".

Joseph,
I have 8 boxes left to rip, but I know for sure that I have some stuff you may want. I have a Brian Wilson 56 Relic, I also for sure know that I have extras of Clemente 3D, Mucutheon, Brett, and Jackson Cloth. I will PM you a full list of what I have for trade once I get through these.

<< <i>The line under Fosters signature going across the card looks like a razor blade cut >>
Where is the QC?
I remember about 3 or 4 Clubhouse relics in a row I opened that had four distinct "bends" on the edge where it looked like I got the top card of a bundle that was banded together.
They didn't give the collector the chance to mishandle the card like in the old days, they are doing it for you.
Still the '78 set brings back good memories.
Maybe George used a box cutter and you got the first one he signed....
I'm seven boxes into my case, and unless I get hot the tears are going to start flowing haha...I probably have at least 5 base sets and almost all of the insert/sp sets, I am probably missing a couple.

Off the top of my head I can't remember the 14th one, but it's another one not to get excited about. Holy hell I hope I pull some big hit out of these final 3 boxes.
