Release day is tomorrow and we still don't have a thread created. What's wrong with us?
I have a case coming but probably won't get it until Friday.
I know Jon (jlzinc) has a couple coming too
Who else is in?

I'm still doing singles though...really wish I could find last year's box lid insert glossy 1 of 1 for Big Frank...I think it died though.
Last years Thomas run so far:
2013 Allen & Ginter Frank Thomas Collection
You really did a nice job on that
The 3 teams I own are the Angels, Rockies & Diamondbacks if you are looking for anything from those teams.
Looks like production was cut quite a bit and supposedly 1 of the big Rip Card buyers is back this year.
Can't wait for this!
<< <i>Ross, that's an awesome site.

Very creative, looks great!
To be honest, no direction, but...
1966-69 Topps EX+
1975 minis NrMt Kelloggs PSA 9
All Topps Heritage-Master Sets
Looking to BUY n332 1889 SF Hess cards and high grade cards from 19th century especially. "Once you have wrestled everything else in life is easy" Dan Gable
I do the base set, all base inserts, mini set(these are a beast), regular mini inserts(not the ssp's), and one 9 pocket page each of baseball autos, baseball relics, pop culture autos, and pop culture relics.
I should be recieving a box of 2014 as a birthday gift this weekend or next week depending on how the shipping works out on pre orders.
With Frank not on the checklist this year, it's tempting to buy a box or four. I'll be watching intently.
<< <i>I am hoping to acquire the cards of Anthony Robles (NCAA Champion wrestler with only one leg) from this release. I did not see any info regarding Mr. Robles but on his facebook page he showed that he was signing cards for it. >>
I'd also like to get the cards of Jordan Burroughs and Jordan Oliver.......cool to see three wrestlers in the set for me.......

Not sure what to think of a swatch of Michael Eisner's panties though
Have you placed a magnet on the rip card yet?
I bought the last 5 packs of a box. Tanaka NNO Mini

<< <i>Not a bad start - Box 1:
Dwight Gooden died?
<< <i>Nice 2 box rip!
Have you placed a magnet on the rip card yet? >>
Hadn't looked at the sell sheet or anything so wasn't sure what you meant. Been trying to avoid knowledge to have more surprises.
So I just put a magnet to it and it's metal (kind of though it seemed heavier than a regular card)
Now to go see what they look like
BTW, nice rip Jon!!
<< <i>Sorry to have ruined the surprise, but I'm happy that it looks like you got a great hit! >>
Oh, no problem at all man. I just enjoy finding out a little bit at a time rather than study it all before I get to rip some LOL
Sell sheet say they are numbered but most on Ebay are claiming 1/1 and none of the pics I've seen show any numbering. Wonder what it really is?
Tracking shows my case arriving tomorrow - Gonna be a fun weekend
<< <i>Here's one supposedly. >>
not metal though, that's a super mini that came from a mini rip card that came from a dual rip card LOL
Dan, the magnet is because this year they put metal cards in some of the rip cards
12 hours to case break. Woot!!
<< <i>Just hit 4 grand on a scratch ticket on the way into work this morning. Think I'll order another case
Get me one too.
Congrats......Now get to New Bedford and cash it!

Christ, Mike, you are one of the luckiest people I know about.

He doesn't say how many scratch-offs he bought.
Only an idiot would have a message board signature.
I do buy them when I can but only when I'm carrying cash and that's not very often. Maybe 3-4 times a week I'll pick one up and only continue playing if I win enough to get more.
I'm sure he'll post everything over here tomorrow or so

I have grabbed a hobby box and have picked up about 6 blasters as my wife drags me around town. Lots of Abreu rookies, Tanaka mini rookie and a Wily Peralta auto is about the best I've done so far.

2 boxes had only 2 hits but still ended with 1 more than I should have.

Nice rip(scratch off). If I may ask, did you get hit for any taxes on the ticket? I know some states require taxes over certain amounts won on lottery tickets.
A little Saturday morning wake and break
box 6:
Mike, picking up where you left off with the Jackie relic!
Speaking of rip cards, are you guys tearing into the cards or using a razor along the edge to open the card from the side?
Will somebody tell me who this zito guy in a suit is?
and box 7:
Brooks Robinson on the other side
