No retail in SW Missouri, but I did find one lone hobby box that followed me home. I'll report the results shortly.

Both sharks that I have are #4 and #5 >>

That shark #5 for trade? I have some black backs and SP's

AragornTheBold · July 31, 2008 7:16AM

Let me think about it...

AragornTheBold · July 31, 2008 7:20AM

Ok I have decided to rip... wish me luck

Ugh well the scanner stopped working on me but it was an exclusive Christy Mathewson mini. I'm a little dissapointed

mosaic · July 31, 2008 7:44AM

Retail MIGHT be out. I say might because both of my local targets today had a bunch of sealed boxes from Exquisite Marketing with the familiar yellow tape on them. They each had them in a cordoned off section near the cards though, so I couldn't rip the seals off. I asked an employee at one to look for me, but she said only the 3rd party rep has the authority to do that. If I can convince the gf, maybe we'll check back tonight. Probably tomorrow morning though.

My gut says they're in there... what else is coming to retail?!

1 crack the code
1 team orange
Bobby Crosby Relic

That's it. This is the worst box I have ever opened in my life. I bought some 08 Goudey to make myself feel better. It didn't really work out.

joestalin · July 31, 2008 8:27AM

Who's this georgie character? He's a Dodger fan, too? I don't want to have to compete with another Dodger nutjob on this here forum.

It's possible I might be interested in that Kemp silk. Yes, it's possible.

cwazzy · July 31, 2008 12:33PM

Here are the hits from my case. Overall it was okay. The rip card was in the very last pack, and, of course, my wife got to open the pack it was in. So I still haven't got one out of a pack.

The Lincecum is a Bazooka and the Pedroia is a no number.

joestalin · July 31, 2008 12:35PM

So are you going to rip the Rowand? Nice Reyes...you keeping it?

Kevin

I'm not going to rip it. I've got to sell it and the Reyes to pay for the case.
