Hello,
First off; my apologies if posting in the wrong place; it's been a long time since I picked up a box of cards and just for fun picked up 2016 Topps series one: pulled this Chris Young card; not sure why it's all silver; it's not numbered etc? Anyone see this before? If so and it's...
Being it's Friday I stopped by the local Wally's to pick up some brew and went by the card isle just for the hell of it; picked up 2 blasters of 2013 Bowman. 1st box yielded the following, was really suprised as I have been hearing that color is a tough pull this year:
Willians Astudillo...
I usually have a go at a Tribute box each year; I was a bit hesitant this year as some of the breaks I saw were brutal; thought I did ok;
Base color:
Harmon Killebrew /75
Ernie Banks /99
Auto Hits:
Relic Hits:
The nasty Jeter is #/25
Let me know if anyone is interested in anything...
I picked up 2 hobby boxes of Heritage from the LCS and a couple of Blasters from the local Wally's; blasters didn't have nadda...oh well; pretty happy with the 2 hobby boxes; hits below. All FS if anyone is intersted just PM me. Thanks
Elvis Andrus GU:
Strasburg SP black back front...
Well; I haven't busted anything in some time; picked up 2 blasters and the local wally's and then picked up a hobby box at the LCS. The 2 blasters turn out awesome; haven't yet busted the hobby box; will let you know. If anyone is interested just PM me. Thanks
1st blaster box
refractor Wilin...
Thought I would bust a box of the Goodwin; love the different cards. First hit was
Carlos Perez Auto
then the Larionov patch card...
Thought I was gunna get shorted (my luck lately) and in the 2nd to last pack..this: :)
So, thoughts on the Dbacks draft. Not sure about that 7th round pick of Archie Bradley; he already signed a letter of Intent w/OU as a QB and the DBacks have to sign him or they lose the pick.
Also, I think Trevor Bauer is a interesting pick..very Tim Lincecum like...and any cards of these...
Never had busted Topps Sterling and got a great price on a box of 09 & 10. Can't believe the luck!
2009
.400 Club:

And:

Stolen Base Leaders...
So, been saving up for a big break; since bowman came out I have been picking up some blasters here and there along w/the rack packs...Also, I have 2 Jumbo's and 2 Regularly Hobby's to yet to bust....but the 1st of the Big Break is 8 Blasters and 10 Rack Packs of 2011 Bowman..more to come later...
So, along w/the 07 UD Masterpieces I picked up; went ahead and got a hobby box of the Gypsy Queen; wow...I know about getting shorted on a box but this..????
Only Hit:
Bartlett Overland Mail Stamp #/10
Nadda after that... :(
A call to Topps tomorrow is on the schedule.
P.S. Cool stamp...
LCS had some of these at a good price; thought I would give it a go:
Original Framed Artwork of Howie Kendrick - Redemption :(
Phil Hughes - Stroke of Genius Auto
Adam Dunn - GU
J.D Drew - GU
Tim Hudson - GU
Billy Buter #/75 - Blue Frame
Suppose no luck on getting the redemption...darn; would...
Gave it go; got a great price when it first came out at the LCS: Really like these cards; too bad I can't afford another box; results were:
Parallels :
Willie Stargell #/199
Duke Snider #/199 (I'm on a roll w/the Duke; also got his auto in the Legends of the Hall)
Rollie Fingers #/199
Buster...
So, saw those historic auto's going thought I would try a few; results were:
Paul Molitor #/81 Gem Mt 10
Duke Snider #/100 Gem Mt 10
Rick Ferrell #/100 Mint 9
Not bad w/the two 10's. If interested let me know and I will post scans.
Picked up 1 box at Target and another 4 at Wally's, fun break, really like the cards: Notables:

Thought I would treat myself to a box of 2010 Triple Threads for the holidays...never broke a box before; thought I did ok:
Chris Young Auto Triple Jersey #/99
Greinke, Lee, & CC Triple Jersey
09 08 07, CYA #/18
Pee Wee Reese #/99
about it..again, fun break...very nice cards.
So, I redeemed a 2010 T-206 Sammy Gervacio - Auto; got a replacement from Topps in the mail today; they indicating circumstances beyond there control they couldn't provide the card. The replacement is a 2009 T-206 David Hernandez RC - Auto.
Bad, good or otherwise?
Thanks
Stopped by the LCS to p/u a hobby of the new Topps Updates; saw the last tin of 07 Sweet Spot for a pretty good price; Auto is pretty faded on the left but very stoked!
Also, got a bat barrell of Corey Hart in the Topps:
And hit the Strasburg Man:
So, been watching MLB Tv and listening local sport radio and the big discussion is instant replay in baseball; while I'm all for using the technology we have to ensure calls/plays are correctly judge by the ump/ref etc; but also, I'm a purist that believes the game should be as is.
That being...
