Looks like retail boxes are starting to be listed as in hand, so maybe we will see them on store shelves next week.

This is NOT what I want to hear, I really need to save up more money in the summers! LOL

So, anyone come up with an excel checklist yet?

tiller · July 9, 2009 3:54AM

I have been looking thru this great thread and cant find the SP list. Are the SPs the last 50 cards of the reg. set? I have a box on the way. Thanks. Dave.

fur72 · July 9, 2009 4:34AM

Wow I am liking what I am seeing. Congrats to all! 3 more hours of work, a quick trip to UPS and then a night of ripping. Cant wait.

TNP777 · July 9, 2009 5:14AM

Two boxes on the way, thanks to a very generous deal from a FCB member.

From Beckett.com:

Phelps also has signed several different cards for inclusion in packs, but none of them have arrived on the auction block just yet.Only an N43 Autographed Box-topper redemption card — with a Buy It Now price of $3,500 — and a second mini card autograph redemption has a$2,000 pricetag have shown up on eBay.

HeritageAddict · July 9, 2009 7:38AM

Cory, I'm counting down the minutes until your rip.

joestalin · July 9, 2009 7:41AM

The guy with the N43 auto copied my auction description word for word. I contacted Clay at topps and each of these Phelps autos
will be numbered to just 8. There are also 1/1 cards signed in gold! I can't wait to see more rips!

Kevin

zep33 · July 9, 2009 7:46AM

Think Clay can hook you up with one of the Gold ones? or is the redemption card gonna say that on it?

BunchOBull · July 9, 2009 7:50AM

Received tracking info today...means early next week some time I guess.

joestalin · July 9, 2009 8:02AM

Clay said that the 1/1's will have 1/1 on them....what do you think a good price on this card would be to sell at?

Kevin

BunchOBull · July 9, 2009 8:08AM

$850.

Are you really gonna sell it?

Ahzzy · July 9, 2009 8:18AM

I bet he's tempted to sell it and buy another case

joestalin · July 9, 2009 8:33AM

I would really love to keep it, but something like this you have to get the most money for right now. I do love the look of these cards and how can you go
wrong with on card autos. Im hoping that someone will just offer me something I can't refuse. Any other feedback would be appreciated.

Kevin

BunchOBull · July 9, 2009 8:35AM

I know if I were in your shoes, I'd most likely sell it, but I know how you are about the autographs, so it'd be tough I'm sure.

gfb · July 9, 2009 8:58AM

if anyone pulls a wiebe auto send me a pm please, thanks!

mealeworm · July 9, 2009 9:44AM

wow I just got home from work and I have a case and two boxes. I will fire up the scanner if I need to.

Dave

joestalin · July 9, 2009 9:48AM

GO Dave!

prscott933 · July 9, 2009 9:48AM

UPS left a notice on my door... I will have my case tomorrow!

zep33 · July 9, 2009 9:56AM

uh oh

TonyC · July 9, 2009 10:38AM

Has anyone found a Bernie Madoff card that Topps managed to sneak out of the factory, or were they successful/serious in making sure none of them got into circulation?

mealeworm · July 9, 2009 10:50AM

I opened two loose boxes and this is the bad

and the good news

mealeworm · July 9, 2009 10:53AM

Damn my desktop sucks

parkerj · July 9, 2009 10:58AM

CASE + 1 box totals:

6 creature legends
0 future inventions
0 extinct animals
26 hoaxes
28 national leaders
31 blacks (3 sps)
67 a&G backs
27 relics including a hannah teter redemption
and the rest below:

The silk is 02/10

YES, both rip cards were from the same case, and the ryan howard extended mini came out of the francis rip card.

so thats a total of 42 hits + 2 rip cards in 13 boxes - LOADED!

gumbyfan · July 9, 2009 10:59AM

Nice hits, Dave!

TNP777 · July 9, 2009 11:03AM

OK, I've got a question. I see that the Crack the Code cards are numbered. For instance, Furcal has a CtC #113, and I can see mini parallels numbered the same and with the same picture. Are all CtC cards part of the base set, or is there a CtC and and regular card without the CtC border?

onegaucho · July 9, 2009 11:15AM

got to my local store today to pickup a box. not too bad - tho i dunno what the SPs are - anyone know if they're published yet?
here's my take:
4 highlights (i really like these and figure i'll try to trade for some)
2 crack the codes (i think - are these regular sized cards with a "code" border?
maybin (marlins) auto
laroche jersey
escobar jersey
inventions of the future (FI1) aeromobile. - i dont see this on the cklist so are these a bit rarer?
creature (minotaur) #9
and a random bunch of a&g backs, a few black minis and national hero minis

are we starting up a trade thread yet?
for now, i'm mainly interested in putting together a "run" of adrian gonzalez minis (reg mini, a&g, nno, etc etc)

HeritageAddict · July 9, 2009 11:27AM

Good stuff Dave and Jim! What happened to Cory? He should have been ripping 3 hours ago.

stormsurge · July 9, 2009 11:28AM

Some of my case hits:

and

cwazzy · July 9, 2009 11:31AM

Nice case!

HeritageAddict · July 9, 2009 11:33AM

Very nice case! Hopefully I'll pull a pujols tomorrow.

BunchOBull · July 9, 2009 11:34AM

Gordon 1 of 1!!! Nice...

Great rips today guys!

stormsurge · July 9, 2009 11:36AM

The Gordon card is hand painted looks much better than the scan

mealeworm · July 9, 2009 11:36AM

1st box of the sealed case Fielder Bazooka 13/25

and two packs later jed Lowrie NNo 23/50

Man I hope it stays hot

BunchOBull · July 9, 2009 11:39AM

Congrats on the Osterman Dave...excellent pull!

joestalin · July 9, 2009 12:12PM

WOW, we are on fire. Gordon perez 1/1, I just wrote on another message boards that those are so rare you might not see one for a week or more! Keep
them coming!

Kevin

mealeworm · July 9, 2009 12:13PM

I have 11 boxes left to rip. I cant rip any more tonight. Good Luck to everyone that rips. I hope The "Cat" wasn't my big pull.

Dave

joestalin · July 9, 2009 12:15PM

I have not looked through any of my base cards but I do have the Smoltz in both the base card and the Ctc. Someone tried telling people that the cards with
the Ctc didn't have base cards, this isn't true, Im sure someone else can confirm. The question remains, does every card 1-350 have a Ctc parallel?

Kevin

TNP777 · July 9, 2009 12:24PM

Jim - that's a pretty darn nice case + 1! 8 autos is very nice. The Kinsler 4/5 is a great pull!

Rich, yours was a whopper of a rip as well! The Gordon should help you pay for a good portion of your case.

You've both got PMs coming!

edit: Jim, I see you've got the Kinsler up already. Good luck!

joestalin · July 9, 2009 12:26PM

Would I be wrong in saying to expect 400+ for that Gordon?

kmnorton · July 9, 2009 12:34PM

Initially, no Kevin. I sold a Perez original last year for almost $300 and it was wayyyy after the Ginter opening time.

joestalin · July 9, 2009 12:38PM

You see thats the thing about Ginter, its starting to have history much like heritage. So lets say I got 06 wood of Ryan Howard, then I spent a bunch and
got the 07, later 08...suddenly I have over a grand sunk into it and I feel like I will pay whatever I need to to get the 09! If you are a huge Alex Gordon
fan, what would look better sitting in your personal collection than a hand painted 1/1?

Great pull, GREAT pull
