    I've been doing some trading, and here are the numbers I've been using as a guide:

    1 Mini = 2 Regular

    1 Regular SP = 3 Minis

    1 Mini SP = 3 Minis
    1 A&G Mini = 2 Minis
    1 A&G Mini SP = 6 Minis
    1 Black Mini = 4 Minis
    1 Black Mini SP = 10 Minis

    It's pretty simple math from there. For instance, 1 black mini SP would = 5 A&G minis (10/2)

    I haven't been handling enough inserts (flags, snakes, relics, etc) to really get a good number on trading. Of course, stars will fudge the numbers a bit.

    For my birthday, I ripped two hobby boxes and two retail blasters of 2007 A&G.

    As you can see from the results below, I had almost zero "mojo." Both hobby boxes matched the printed promises, but they also yielded GU and autos from the most prolific groups. The blasters were uneventful, apart from one which had a couple packs double-stuffed with minis, resulting in a new white no-# for my collection.

    I'm building the set, so I'm not terribly disappointed. However, I know a lot of folks on this and other boards that will see this break and go "OUCH!"

    Oh yeah, I ended up with a bunch of duplicate SPs. I'll be putting together a trade list soon.

    Hobby Box #1 (from kfam02 on eBay):
    Randy Winn Jersey card
    Jonathan Papelbon Autograph card
    2 flag minis (Peru, Belgium)
    1 emperor minis (Hadrian)
    24 other minis (12 standard, 6 A&G back, 3 black border no #)
    1 Alex Rodriguez Home Run highlight (#265)
    12 short prints

    Hobby Box #2 (from wilsond7 on eBay):
    Ivan Rodriguez Jersey card
    Miguel Cabrera Jersey card
    2 flag cards (Canada, Philippines)
    1 emperor card (Caesar Augustus)
    21 other minis (12 standard, 6 A&G back, 3 black border w/#)
    1 Alex Rodriguez Home Run highlight (#259)
    10 short prints

    Blaster Box #1:
    4 short prints
    8 minis (6 normal, 1 A&G, 1 greece flag)

    Blaster Box #2
    4 short prints
    10 minis (5 normal, 3 A&G, 1 black no #, 1 white no #)
    Two packs had two mini cards. The white no # was Johnny Estrada
    Nolan Ryan & Edgar Martinez are my favorite players...

    So far, I've done a pretty good job of staying the bloody hell away from this year's set. It's for my own good. I've had just one moment of weakness. When I was in Target the other day, I saw they had a dozen or so loose packs left, and I scooped 'em up. I didn't get any big hits (go figure), but it was fun to finally give in a little. I really like that they included some players from the Negro Leagues, and if I can just pick up all of those from the base set, I'll be satisfied with that... I think.

    The thing is, I'm not sure how many there are. Can anyone provide me a list of these guys?

    Bryon,

    You going to do the TTM with this year's set? I'm sure you could get a set donated from the members here (I sure I can scare up a set with all that I'm getting). What do you think folks, worthwhile project? Give a little bit, make him do all the work and sit back and enjoy his scans.
    I'm going to start with a suggestion of Brian Doyle Murray's auto on the groundhog day card. Jack the Ripper might be a challenge.

    Kurt - I was just thinking about a TTM Jack the Ripper card a few days ago. My solution is to find some random dude named Jack Ripper, hopefully a guy affiliated with a baseball team.

    Reading these busts really makes me a bit upset at the hot case posts I have been reading. Nice to have 24 AUTOS in a case, but maybe 1 or 2 relics in a Retail case. Not sour grapes, just not right by Topps. For goodness sakes, they have all freaking year to prepare and have that kind of collation?

    Ha! Thanks for the offer of assistance, but I won't be scaling a second mountain anytime soon. I'm not even halfway up the first one yet. I almost wish I could start another one just so I could take advantage of all that I've learned the hard way the first time around, but there's no way I can take it on. That said, I do want to get hold of the cards of the Negro League players from the 2007 set and get as many of those signed as possible... hence my earlier post. I still need a list of those players. If someone can provide me one, I promise to post scans of those autos here as they come in. Deal?

    Where is the best place/person to get retail cases from?
  • Options
    joestalinjoestalin Posts: 12,473 ✭✭
    Honestly, I wouldn't go retail, you would do better getting half a hobby case or some hobby boxes. Ive opened over 15 blaster
    and have only pulled one auto...thats rough. Just my opinion.

    I agree - avoid retail like the plague. All the ink is in hobby. Well worth the extra $$.

    << <i>I agree - avoid retail like the plague. All the ink is in hobby. Well worth the extra $$. >>



    Probably a dumb question, but do retail outlets not sell hobby boxes? I thought a hobby box was basically equivalent to a wax box (for all practical purposes), which is what all of the Targets/Walmarts usually carry.

    Am I wrong?

    I think this is the most interested I've ever been in a modern set. There are so many good pulls available. Might pick up a few more boxes soon.

    I've got one on the way, as well as a bunch of old racks from BBC Exchange (including 78 Topps rack, etc)

    I'll post pics of the rips...

    I would have to agree that hobby would be the better route to go, but even after my two retail cases with no decent pulls I couldn't resist the 6 blasters that Walmart had today....I should have though. The first blaster had six packs in a row with no minis, the highlights were:
    1-Flag
    1-Eric Chavez Pants...like I needed another one
    5-Black Minis
    1-Bazooka Back Ian Snell

    I only got 3 minis that I needed, I'm pretty sure I would have been better off buying a hobby box with the $120 instead. I may have to order a few hobby boxes just to keep myself away from the retail junk.

    For hits, it's hobby by a landslide. If you dont care about hits, but want to try to put together mini sets, then retail.

    Are the hobby boxes then ones that contain 24 packs? The blasters are the $20 boxes that have 8 packs or something, right?
