    Because that buyer won the 6/10 as well. Going for them all I guess.

    I think the Silks are getting a premium, definitely a sparked interested.
    The rarity of #/10 card in itself should garner premium prices.

    I just sold my Zack Greinke silk for $160 within a day of posting it.

    If you want a particular silk then you'd better jump on it or you may never see another one for awhile.

    My LaShawn Merritt silk went for less than $18! Just the wrong summer. During the Olympics, it would have been huge.

    Another auto!

    And yes, silks aren't doing as well this year overall in my opinion. The "big names" of the season are doing well, but overall, no.

    Everyone here will say to rip it. The value is probably higher if you sell it unripped. You could get a lottery ticket type win and get a huge pull...but it is highly unlikely.
    I am actively buying MIKE SCHMIDT gem mint baseball cards. Also looking for any 19th century cabinets of Philadephia Nationals. Please PM with additional details.

    I wonder how many of the woods, red ink and perez sketches are exclusive to the minis. If I knew that then I could calculate the odds of pulling something nice out of one.

    On the Silks subject, my Ryan Theriot silk is surprisingly up to $51.00 with about 4 hours to go. That's good enough to talk me into another box! image

    couldn't resist - picked up 6 boxes (for $80 each after tax) fresh from a case at lunchtime, and pulled the rip card 66/99 konerko...that probably gets ripped open.

    nothing else earth shattering:
    ryan howard jersey (with pinstripe)...kevin??

    papelbon auto
    bob crowley SP auto
    mental movies
    several creatures
    joe mauer no # 06/50

    All are available for trade (except the movies)

    still one box unopened, waiting for a different vibe.

    Stopped by Target and they were stocked with Blasters.

    Picked up 1 blaster and 4 packs from a fresh retail box (meaning un-pawed through. That ought to last about an hour).

    The packs had the Bazooka and the blaster had the no number.

    Im right at about 3 cases. My mini set is looking good and I still have not made any trades. I have a nice autograph collection going and two rip cards
    that are intact. Through some board members and good luck I will have Howard minis..plate, no number, A&G and Black. I have a ton of GU that I could
    trade or build a set. This really turned out to be a great year.

    I opened three blasters. When I opened the first one, one of the packs had two relics in it! Robinson Cano bat card and Mark Teixiera game jersey. Then I opened the second blaster and it had a Ryan Howard jersey and a Justin Masterson auto -- also in the same pack!! My third box was relicless and autoless but had a Mental Movies card. I'd say I am off to a great retail start! Will report more when I get more.

    Against better judgement, bought another box today and the only thing mentioning was the bodybuilder chick relic. Two other relics. Got another blaster and it had a Dodo mini.

    So far, 3 full hobby boxes and 9 relics; Loose packs and 2 blasters = 1 auto, 1 bazooka, 2 no numbers and 1 Extinct bird. I have to sort to see about the set, but so far hobby has not been very good to me.

    I asked the guy to let me know what he got if he ripped it.

    He left it in my feedback. He got a Kasmir mini.

    Did anyone happen to pull the Dice-K jersey card? If so I will most definitely trade in your favor (Ginter or non-Ginter) for it. That's a must have for me and with only 110 of them out there, might prove a bit difficult to obtain.

    Only 1 sold on ebay so far and it only went for 8.88. Had the thing in my watch list but forgot about it image

    Nice pull on the Longoria auto, Mike. Been trying to buy one of those for a few weeks but my $50 bid hasn't been getting the job done. On another note, I was wondering if anyone else here has noticed how some A&G subjects have done poor jobs signing autos this year? I guess if you're signing ~250 of them, your hand gets tired after a while, but some guys don't even start in the signature box. Look at this Ebay auction for a 'Nique auto where 50% of his name isn't even in the box..I realize its picky, but if this is my "hit", I want quality.. I would be inclined to not bid on that card.

    Ebay item # 400061212854

    Thanks man, You'll end up getting one at that price range soon enough. Looks like they're dropping a bit. I sold my only other Longoria auto a few months ago so I'm gonna hang onto this one for a while. This one's better than the SP authentic anyway - part of it was under the box

    Sorry Mike, I had one, but set it on fire in my kitchen while I was drinking whiskey last night.
