Wanted to pick up a box of these if I could find them today after buying a couple of Twisted Sister autographs on ebay this morning for 99 cents a piece.

at BC Sports they had 1 opened box with 1 pack already sold. He was nice enough enough to tell me that one of his employees had bought the pack and pulled a Griffey Jr buyback auto in it. Even showed me the card. it was pretty ncie.
I said the hell with it and bought the rest of them anyway.

Got 6 Yankee Legacy cards - anyone wanna guess what numbers? image
2 Jeter Retrospectrum inserts

these:

Random Player? hmm this could be nice...to be continued

    I picked up 5 packs earlier and pulled one of the Jeter inserts in 4 of 5 packs.

    I don't keep up on new issues but I'd say that was a decent price. I would love to have won those as I have been a fan of TS for years.

    Also looked around on eBay for these and I guess Vince Neil can only make a squiggly line for a signature.

    The whole band is in the set. Would look pretty cool in a display with all 5 of them.

    Got Jay Jay French and Eddie Ojeda coming so far

    So you even get a hot card out of a searched box? You are truly the man Mike.

    A guy at the shop hit one of the redemptions for the signs of history cut autos from a box.

    Pretty cool !!

    Definitley let us know who ya get in that redemption.
  • zep33zep33 Posts: 6,897 ✭✭✭
    the waiting is gonna kill me but there was no way I could sell it so I redemed it last night.

    say 12-16 weeks and waiting on stock and list confirmation or something like that

    I do have a contact at ebay who's been real cool with me about my Dice-K redemption I'm still waiting on. Explained the whole thing and problem they are having getting the on card sigs back from him and has been sending me any updates via email.

    I sent an email to him too about this but got an out of office auto-reply maybe I'll hear something back Monday.

    did some looking around at other mystery cuts they've had before and they've had Elvis, marylyn monroe, einstein and people like that. Some guy on Ebay selling one said he called UD and they told him they'd all be numbered to 25 or less

    it's no pres cut, but hopefully it'll be something cool. wonder if I won't be able to find out who it is until I open it here at this desk. If that's the case I'll have to do it live on here

    maybe a Jimi Hendrix, John Bonham or Randy Rhoads image since there are mostly other musicians in this set

    Picked up a box of these tonight at the hobby shop for $120. Does that seem about right?
  • zep33zep33 Posts: 6,897 ✭✭✭
    yep decent price

    i tried to find another one tonight and failed image

    edit - good luck Nick

    I busted my box last night and got the same Jerry Dixon auto as Zep, a Mike Piazza 2 color swatch #ed 3/5 (doesn't sell for what it sounds like it should), a rookie auto of Bill Murphy (Diamondbacks), a Jared Weaver swatch #ed 34/75, and a red Jeter retrospectrum #ed 75/99. A fun rip on a boring night, but not worth the $120 price tag to me.

    The Jeter is nuthin special ?

    << <i>The Jeter is nuthin special ? >>



    You would think numbered to only 99 it would be a desirable card, but sadly it is not.

    Can anyone tell me how many cards are in the Jeter insert set?

    Yea, I got one of the Jeter Red reto's too #'d to 99 .

    Thought it might have been a decent pull .

    I got a Garry Sheffield Yankees Pinstripe jersey card #'d to 45.

    an Adrian Beltre jersey , Johnny Estrada jersey and a Oscar Renteria jersey , I like the look of the cards, as some of you know , I love the shiney cards image

    Typical Italian . . . It has to glitter , Like my grandmothers Gold and crushed red velvet furniture image
