<< I guess I am being a little impatient. I want to be able to trade with this great group of guys and it is hard to do when my sources don't come through in a timely manner! >>

I know exactly what you mean, still have more coming I'm itching to rip. Meanwhile I'm sorting & working on a list today.

prscott933 · July 26, 2009 4:33AM

Does anyone have any of these Crack the Code cards to trade/sell?

1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 9, 52, 67, 70, 91, 94, 99, 100, 103, 110, 113, 121, 127, 129, 131, 144, 150, 165, 167, 169, 174, 180, 182, 185, 187, 193, 200, 204, 205, 207, 210, 217, 221, 222, 223, 227, 233, 236, 242, 245, 254, 256, 262, 267, 268, 271, 274, 275, 286, 300

jlzinck · July 26, 2009 5:10AM

I guess a LITTLE of Zep's luck has rubbed off on me recently.

Let's remember my past 2 Ginter purchases.
#1- Full Box- Rip Card and 3 decent relics, Thome, Tex & Rollins

#2- 14 packs/ Yuto SP Auto, Invisible man Mini, 2 relics and a Samuel Morse NNO mini /50.

Here is todays 5 pack break.

It's a nice feeling when you know your shop owner isn't a scumbag pack searcher......

Morgoth · July 26, 2009 6:00AM

I have a pretty good suspicion that one of the indy card shop guys is a big time pack searcher.

Knopfler · July 26, 2009 10:39AM

<< Dave,

Just wanted to confirm that you said you received retail from Lockwood. I must be bad luck or something because I have ordered from SVU18 and got burned, then from LR Cards and got burned, and now I am wondering what the hold up is with Lockwood.

Anyone else out there order from Lockwood and not received theirs yet?

Craig in Texas >>

Craig,

I also ordered from Lockwood and have not received anything yet.

parker95 · July 26, 2009 11:12AM

Thanks Knopflers! Before anyone orders any 2010 Topps Allen & Ginter, first ask me who I am getting mine from. You would be wise not to order from the same source as me!! This is the third time in a row that I am missing the boat due to a distributor not being able to pull through!!

Craig in Texas

Wow nice rip Jon.

I just got back last night from spending the weekend in Boston with my niece and her husband. Found 3 blasters at a Target up there and a hobby box last night when we did the Hyannis main street walk.

Gotta run them back up to Boston sometime this morning so I'll be ripping tonight

magellan · July 27, 2009 1:00AM

That's a great 5 packs John, WTg!

Everyone: Jack Lockwood called me this AM, my other 2 cases are shipping today. I do know he was in PA for the weekend. My feeling is you'll all hear from him today/tomorrow. He said he had some paperwork issues.

Good luck,
Dave

Well Topps sent me my replacement rip card today Yunel Escobar 97/99...I think I'm going to have to rip even though I'm sure I will regret it.

HeritageAddict · July 27, 2009 7:53AM

Nothing scan worthy out of the rip card, just a Hallady extended mini.

zep33 · July 27, 2009 10:12AM

pretty cool Metzger piece and gotta love more ink

HeritageAddict · July 27, 2009 10:21AM

Zep What do you want for the Ichiro bat relic? I need the bat to complete my Ichiro relic run.

Let me know...I have a few regular minis and base set SP's left.

akuracy503 · July 27, 2009 11:34AM

<< no, I went and picked up another hobby box at a different shop

the Ichiro came from the blasters, the rest came from the 2 hobby boxes >>

I'm going through your trade list page to see if I have anything you need.

zep33 · July 27, 2009 11:44AM

cool, it's available. I actually sorted my regular minis tonight but didn't get to typing up a list yet. Maybe tomorrow. Just sorting them was a big step for me. Never even got around to it last year LOL

TNP777 · July 27, 2009 3:53PM

I need to publicly acknowledge my friend Jason, who seems to have a knack for picking me up from crummy days. First it was a Duke Snider auto, now it's a 2009 A&G Dodger onslaught!

My wife told me when she got home that I had gotten some packages. One from sportlots, one from Doran (Manny A&G back and a DeWitt auto - thanks for another great trade, Doran!), and a pretty fat envelope from Jason. Inside were some terrific Dodgers for my A&G collection:

Kemp auto
DeWitt bat
Manny bat
Manny uni
Kuroda Crack the Code
A&G backs of Manny, Ethier, Furcal and McDonald
Black borders of Kershaw, Martin, Loney Kemp, DeWitt and Ethier.

Jason, thanks a lot - your thoughtfulness is greatly appreciated!

ArchStanton · July 27, 2009 8:30PM

Thanks for all of trade offers. I will PM everyone tonight. Today will be a long day at work for me. I may pick up another hobby box, too.

HeritageAddict · July 28, 2009 12:26AM

Well I told myself no retail this year, but I didn't have the willpower and just picked up 6 blasters, rip results to follow.

I think the highlight was actually the Hanley Ramirez NNO... but yeah OUCH!

jeffcbay · July 28, 2009 1:36AM

This past Sunday I bought four retail boxes (Target) and pulled:

4 Codes
2 Hoaxes
5 Black Borders (Including an SP)
5 Heroes
1 Creature

3 Jersey Relics - Ichiro, Manny, and Kotchman (Group A)
1 Invention (Here-To-There-O-Matic)

I was happy with it, but I think I'll stick to hobby boxes from now on (yeah right, who am I kidding).

joestalin · July 28, 2009 1:51AM

Retail is looking weak right now, but it will only take someone here pulling a cut auto for us to get in our cars and head out to target. My hobby guy has
one box left, I think Im going over to get it.

Kevin

HeritageAddict · July 28, 2009 1:53AM

Yeah that was the first and last of retail for me, not impressed at all. On the upside I did get the last few short print minis I needed, now I just need a few more to finish the set.

HeritageAddict · July 28, 2009 6:31AM

Ok I lied, I had to pick something up from Walmart and they had blasters, so needless to say 5 more made it home with me. At least I'll have a fair sampling of Target and Walmart blasters for comparison.
