[2014BESTSERVICE]

OK folks first up today is going to be 2005 TOPPS CHROME SERIES 1 BASEBALL
One of the years I didn't really do Topps stuff was 2005 as DLP had way too many goodies taking my funds
Rather surprised I even set aside boxes of 2005 stuff of Topps or Upper Deck

You can find info located here @ http://baseballcardpedia.com/index.php/2005_Topps_Chrome
There are 20 packs with 4 cards a pack. Some interesting color parallels

Here are the box pics. Forgive me but in my haste to get started ripped the plastic off and started opening

Then realized I had not taken the box pics I normally take so I had to go backwards

And a pic of the packs before I rush in and open them. Looks like 4 segments of 5 packs each

I have my bro headed to storage tomorrow for more boxes next week folks. We about 4 feet in now in a smaller sized storage 5x10. Wait til this one empties next year and we get to the big boy storage

OK folks onward to the box I've been salivating over since the brother mailed it.
We will pop open some 2004 ELITE EXTRA EDITION loaded with inserts and such
Box pics below as always before I crack into it.
I love this series has so many inserts I always enjoy breaking these open.

You can find more info about the inserts here @ baseballcardpedia.com/index.php/2004_Donruss_Elite_Extra_Edition
