Just bought a box of 2007 Topps Series 1 at Target

goose3 · March 4, 2007 10:14AM

used my wife's discount plus some other 10 percent thing.

The box says "Look for Ted Williams Cards only found in Target".

tennesseebanker · March 4, 2007 10:15AM

Bust IT ! Bust it NOw ! Right HEre Live !

dtkk49a · March 4, 2007 10:17AM

The Target by me had nothing. I actually went to Target, Walgreens and CVS looking for 07 Topps today and found nothing. I guess I'll have to go to the card store this week and pay the premium.

Did you pull the Jeter card?

goose3 · March 4, 2007 10:19AM

I'm busting it but what the hell am I looking for!?

pandrews · March 4, 2007 10:21AM

the derek jeter card was bringing good money, i assume it still is..

it has GWB and mickey mantle photoshopped in the background like a "where's waldo" type thing..

goose3 · March 4, 2007 10:23AM

Wow, some nice looking stuff!

a couple of Mantle cards and some Ted Williams stuff so far.....

dtkk49a · March 4, 2007 10:39AM

Let's see them !

goose3 · March 4, 2007 10:57AM

I gave that good scanner to my dad....so digipics will have to do for now..

No Jeter card but I did get him on a special card. Got tons of star cards. The few pics here are only a portion.

the Ted Williams cards are all different in the one pic....the 2007 Mantle card is pretty cool

anything worth a crap in this stuff other than the jeter I didn't get?

now I must go and hide the evidence in the trash can.

Volver · March 4, 2007 11:00AM

Goose...what is that in the background of the Wakefield card? The moon, the Northern Lights????

Piman58 · March 4, 2007 11:01AM

<< now I must go and hide the evidence in the trash can.

I wonder how much evidence ends up in the trash in America?

Gonblott · March 4, 2007 11:02AM

How much was the box again?

goose3 · March 4, 2007 11:02AM

<< Goose...what is that in the background of the Wakefield card? The moon, the Northern Lights???? >>

Just the background he is standing in front of....Varitek's is similar

goose3 · March 4, 2007 11:03AM

<< How much was the box again? >>

well this was 3 packs shy.....so 42.00 minus 10 percent, minus 10 percent.

Some SOB got my Jeter in those 3 packs.

pandrews · March 4, 2007 11:07AM

im trying to read the notes in the last picture on the piece of paper thats being held down by a tube of some kind of ointment..

goose3 · March 4, 2007 11:09AM

that is for this little spot of dry skin on my eyelid, I can't think of the name of the condition but it's dry and it itches.

The note says Pain and Pleasure. Their phone number is probably there if you want to go get a tattoo.

joestalin · March 4, 2007 11:11AM

I took a a loupe to that paper and it says:

don't trade with joestalin

sup with that?

Kevin

PS..Probably get a few bucks for that Wright

i thought it said something about "Pam + Pleasure".. i was gonna you ask for Pam's phone number, and if i would need the ointment afterward..

goose3 · March 4, 2007 11:14AM

if you soak it in cider you might.

Pain and Pleasure is where I got my latest Tattoo on the back of my neck.

Stalin.

joestalin · March 4, 2007 11:14AM

I might also add that the retail topps have a super rare photo variation, that no one has been able to find.

Kevin

XanaduNow · March 4, 2007 11:16AM

Is 2007 Topps the one with red back inserts? If so, what it red on the back? The area that is typically black?

I picked up 14 packs the other day at Target, no Jeters. I haven't purchased or opened modern in a dog's age so if someone could give me the run down on this stuff like I were a 5 year-old I'd appreciate it.

Thanks

Arthur

well?

I've got 2 piles of cards on my desk now from this rip....commons and stars/insert things.

The stack of stars is over 1/3 as high as the stack of commons.

RoarIn84 · March 4, 2007 11:21AM

don't throw the cards away. supposedly there's a Cards For Kids foundation out of California. lol.....

goose3 · March 4, 2007 11:22AM

I was going to make a really bad joke about the empty box/wrappers.

Jdurg · March 4, 2007 11:40AM

Wow. This year's Topps cards look incredibly good. Haven't been too impressed with the standard issues in a long while now, but the design and imagery on this year's variety looks great. Can't wait til the end of the year to pick up my factory set. (It has become a Christmas tradition for my father to get me a factory set of Topps as a Christmas gift. I figure, why not let him still get some enjoyment out of doing that?)

MuckyMutt · March 4, 2007 11:44AM

<< I figure, why not let him still get some enjoyment out of doing that?) >>

You're so thoughtful... what a good son!

TheMcgwireMuseum · March 4, 2007 2:34PM

Does anybody plan on putiing any of the sets together? I bought a 36 pack box, and kinda either want to try to finish the set in red backs, or the mickey mantle subset, or the A rod 500 subset. Anyone up for some trades? I havent ever put a set together, but kind of fell in love with the cards and think it might be fun.

joestalin · March 4, 2007 2:44PM

I have plenty of topps to trade. Looking for numbered parallels and heritage

Thanks
Kevin

jamesgotpoorman · March 4, 2007 2:45PM

Yes, I have been checking ebay for lots of unwanted cards from all the ripping for the jeters. I got my jeter with a NY yankees teams set bought last week on ebay for $4.25, before this all got unreal. Have red and white variations with one Gold card. Then saturday bought 2 boxes @ 20 each (including s/h). Can wait to rip them. The craze will be over by then so no chance of reselling the Jeters I may get. I will list tradable cards if someone else wants to try for the set. Doubles of modern just don't seem worth to keep ( have 5000+ of 85-87 in attic). One day I will take them and wallpaper them in my sons room!

CDsNuts · March 4, 2007 2:46PM

I have a Hobby box (36 packs I think. Maybe it's 24) full minus the one Jeter I pulled. $8 dlvd for whoever wants it. Lots of inserts and stuff, but nothing major.

The Topps cards are spoken for.

bri2327 · March 4, 2007 4:04PM

I think the itch is coming over me...the itch to pick up some '07 Topps that is !

Does anyone have a reliable source other than a brick and mortar store to get good prices on em ?

goose3 · March 4, 2007 9:39PM

you guys think there's anything worth submitting in the set for the current 5.00 special?

I got a nice stack of Stars.......Schilling, Mantle, Mantle, Damon, Vladdy, Pujols, Soriano, etc.......

Red vs. White is the player/team name on back in that color. I think Red is hobby only.

Yankeeefan · March 5, 2007 2:21AM

Also, on the back, the card # is white or red.

RipublicaninMass · March 5, 2007 2:25AM

I pulled a Carlos Beltran "16 inning walk off home run" game worn jersey. Is this jersey from the game like the Jenks glove? Any value? Is that DAvid riht a gold? ANything else worth money in these packs? Cool 52 mantle

Volver · March 5, 2007 2:26AM

I have not found one box in my area....not Target, K-Mart or Wal-Mart. My local shop has packs/boxes, but I will not pay his awful prices.

five7teen · March 5, 2007 3:43AM

I still need about 40 red backs from this set - for some strange reason I thought it would be a good idea to put the red back set together. PM me if you have extras for trade, thanks.

kmnorton · March 5, 2007 4:15AM

Jason,

I'll take a look tonight for your red back wantlist.

I am putting together the base set. I have no desire for my Mick or Arod cards. email me at cjb at gmail dot com if you want to trade.

MuckyMutt · March 6, 2007 2:09AM

I bought a box to get the Jeter/Mantle/Bush card. Imagine my surprise when I pulled this one:

FYI - the 1/1 is for every letter in his name. I've seen one other one on Ebay for the 1st "I".

Thats a cool card. I was going to get a Dodger one from 06 for my sons but the only one I saw was for Billingsly. Too many letters,too much $$.

CDsNuts · March 6, 2007 2:33AM

Very cool card, but it's ridiculous that they stamp it 1/1. I mean, the guy has like 20 letters in his name. If you get an "I", are both of them 1/1's, or are they 1/2's? How do you know which one you got, the first or last? These are things we need to know.

Also, are we to believe these players gave up the jerseys they wore in the All Star game? For some it will be their only appearance, so I find it hard to believe. Or maybe they're not game worn since the card doesn't say "Game Used".

Yeah - I agree. Each "I" is a 1/1. If you notice the back of the card has an "x" mark above the letter on the front. So, there is a first "I" and a second "I". LOL

This isn't from the actual All-Star game, but is from the HR Derby and other events the day before. That's why the colors are black and yellow for all the players.

CDsNuts · March 6, 2007 2:51AM

Ah, didn't notice that. I guess that makes it a little better.

Like I said, I think it's a good idea and the card is cool, but I would imagine most players are unlikely to give up their game worn All Star jersey.

Looking at the results is funny because they all have a gallery picture and it looks like people are bidding $100+ on plain letter patches. Mucky, you're looking at $100 easy for this card. Nice pull.

Lee

Edit- that makes more sense ajw.

Just bought a box of 2007 Topps Series 1 at Target
