I just broke a hobby box down tonight.Nothing to eventful other than an Al Kaline Stadium Seat Relic.I have 3 boxes left that I won't break until Monday.
Looks like retail is definitely the way to go this year. I am getting more & more anxious to receive my case. I hope the blacks fall in the same number for me as for others - I need to find at least two so that I can trade them to Chris for his Ethier & Kershaw blacks!
Craig - you got a pretty good case, eh? Looks like all of your black refractors have pretty good centering.
8 SPs 4 chrome 2 ref - Zimmerman and Loney GU - Wright with bit of stripe showing Buyback - Roy McMilllan - Reds
And I don't have to deal with the withdrawal symptoms yet cause I picked up 3 more hobby boxes at one of the local shops yesterday Maybe bust them tonight
No Mike, that case was already ripped, newheritagecollector asked if anyone had ordered from Joe. I do however have some retail coming tomorrow, so I'll be joining the ripping again very soon.

Brad (boiler75) and I have been working on a checklist for the ad panels. Together we have identified 87 of the 88. That panel is either XXX/Pujols/Haren or Gonzalez/LeBlanc/XXX. Once we know for sure, one or both of us will post the list. One thing I've noticed from the two hobby boxes I opened is that the first three cards in each pack were almost always the players who were on the panels.
Since I have nothing to rip today I thought I would make some base sets today, while doing so I noticed card #405 Robinson Cano. I know it's not a variation just a printing issue, but I thought it was interesting that I had exactly the same number of each version. The card on the left has a nice purple streak that starts between his eyes and goes below his eye. Like I said, I'm just a little bored todat.
How long before someone tries to pass off their own SSP?
Anyhow, I just noticed this. All of my #113 Brandon Moss cards look like this one. There is no color in his last name. Does anyone have one that looks different?

There are 2 on Ebay with pictures and they both look exactly like yours. Don't think he has a chrome and don't know if he's on the panels. 1960 Topps #113 Bob Skinner (a pirate outfielder) has a white and yellow last name.
8 SPS (exact same 8 that were in the box before this one) 4 chrome - Ellsbury, Wang, Oswalt and Kershaw 1 ref - Alex Rios GU - David Wright - all black jersey piece. my other one and all the others i've seen were white

Funny, I was looking on Ebay yesterday and saw a Dual Masterson auto and put it in my watch list
Just went back there to delete it since I have one now and noticed it's one with a different "old-timer"
