Nice Arnie, I am still hoping to land an auto of his. It looks like the no numbers this year are the A&G backs! Found one in my stack. Anyone doing the mini sets this year?
Get ready forum members... because unless you're a case breaker... this is going to be a "trades required" set to complete!
Hands down, the worst coalation I've seen in a Topps product in years! I busted 5 boxes from a freshly opened case... I've only sorted through the SP's and the 200's so far. While I have doubles & triples of most, even some quadruples... just in the base 200's... I'm 9 cards short on the base set! Seriously, not even a complete base (1-300) set out of 5 boxes... that's honestly just crazy to me!
5 boxes yielded... 1 Harper, 2 Darvish, 2 Cespedes... that's not good considering none of those are SP's!
I'll get some scans up later, along with my trade/want list
3 of the boxes yielded the typical 1 auto & 2 relic... auto's were all of non-baseball players I never heard of 1 of the boxes yielded 3 relics 1 of the boxes yielded 2 relics & a silk card (numbered 10/10)
Not only did I get one of the dreaded balloon boy relics... I got 2
Getting killed on the ink again so far but at least I got the rip card. Love when it's a no brainer to rip or not too. Won't be ripping it until the case is done. Always have to save them for last.
I will say if you're a Yankee collector, you won't find a better team set in anything else, that's for sure. Ruth, Gehrig, Mantle DiMaggio, Berra, Jeter, Reggie, Rivera, etc...
Nice hits, love the Plamer, Petty auto is sweet. He signs all of his autos like that, at the end of each race he will sign for as long as there are people there and he takes his time.
Kind of a cool switch with the no number A&G back.
Just got my 2nd rip card out of the same case - that's a first for me and with as many cases I've bought in the past with no rip card, I'd have to get about 6 more before I felt guilty - or not
Wow, that is one heck of a finish. I might have to go back and get some more ginter tomorrow. I really wasnt planning on doing any this year but I have been sucked in.
Now if I could just finish my 2007 to 2010 sets up I would be super happy. I think I am like 6 Black minis away from finishing one year and just gave up and packed them up.
I was psyched to pull the Harper. I'm actually gonna try to keep it. I really wanted a Strasburg a couple years ago and couldn't manage to pull one. This pretty much makes up for it
That was definitely my best case ever and still have 2 more chances with the rip cards when I get around to them.
man that was hot stuff! I pulled a Clemente Rip card /10 today. Goes well with the Neil Walker wood 1/1 I pulled yesterday. My autos have been crap though. Everything is for trade. I have a ton of minis and other things.
Well I got a little antsy so I opened four boxes. I will post a more elaborate thread after I finish the case, but a few highlights:
Rizzo autograph Guy Bluford autograph redemption Roberto Clemente 02/10 Silk Card Michael Phelps relic
2 no# minis (Zobrist and Billingsley)
1 Men in Hats (forgot which hat)
After four boxes, I already got two duplicate relics in Greg Gumbel and Michael Young, so that isn't great, but so far I've got some decent value. NO IDEA what the Clemente will bring since there are no others on the 'Bay.
Sorry for the double post but does anyone have any idea why some players are in their former teams jerseys on the relic cards? Theriot, F**dome and Zambrano just the 3 that I noticed.

Maybe it corresponds to the team the jersey came from.

box 5 and 6 - Love the Petty auto, I pulled a red ink Kyle Petty last year so those 2 will look good together
Any currency cards?

Very nice, The ones I see on eBay are mostly modern coins. Nice to see one from the 40's.
Hopefully someone here pulls some ink from them. I see an Ernie Banks blue ink 02/15 on eBay. Very nice stuff.
Can't wait to get ripping tomorrow.

<< <i>Nice - Helluva good first box!! >>
Thanks,
I was pumped to see the red ink.
Box 2 is done, man I am so slow at ripping these---it will take me forever.
Box 1 only had 22 minis and box 2 had 19. Got a cabinet hi-light card Cal Ripken - Lou Gehrig and N43-15 Tony gwynn.
2 nice relics and auto (almost a Harper)
Harper and Darvish base cards.
I went back to my LCS after work today and bought 3 more boxes!!!
Cracked the first box so far... and pulled this bad boy...
Finally, I really decent hit from a product this year!!!
Will have an updated list later this evening... looking forward to making some trades
I'll be ripping 6 more boxes in about an hour and a half

<< <i>Case has arrived. Box 1 down--good start.

I think the "Guys In Hats" cards might be rare.
Did get another Harper and Darvish base cards and a Red Sox auto.
Also a Teixeira A & G back with no #

Yesterday, 3 for 5 on auto boxes... today, 3 for 3!!! I'm not sure, but from what I've seen... 6 for 8 is beating the odds!
The Jesus card... not really a hit... but that's going into my next submission. How can I not get better grades when I got Jesus in the sub???

Now if I could just finish my 2007 to 2010 sets up I would be super happy. I think I am like 6 Black minis away from finishing one year and just gave up and packed them up.
