I am really happy that I switched out 2 jumbos for 2 more hobby so opened 2 jumbo cases and 4 hobby cases. I'll post some scans and also do a summary of my break later.

Panik is a nice guy too, but I haven't met him yet. My favorite memory of Brandon Crawford is when I was at Spring Training in 2010. I saw him stretching in the grass, and no one knew who he was. I recognized him because I had a few cards of him, and I called out to him - hi Brandon, would you...
Happy to see that the Giants have signed Brandon Crawford for a 6 year $75 million contract. Congrats to Brandon Crawford - one of the nicest guys on the Giants that I have met.

My thoughts on the subject
1. Mlb better change the rules on these takedowns at 2b. Tejada was in a vulnerable position and had no chance. 2. They should have upheld the out call since utley never touched 2b. I have seen much worst "neighborhood" calls upheld.
3. What Utley did was dirty but...
and final update - the box was delivered today - even though it said it was delivered on Monday - UGH. It's so frustrating sometimes dealing with the post office, but thank god it made it.
FYI - I have a PO Box. I've put in requests at the local post office to find out what happened to our package. I get a LOT of packages believe me. I think they put the box with a different PO Box. The delivered message says Delivered - Post Office.
I think he will make it right - he was super upset at me for filing claims for the ones that I could, but now he's being more reasonable and promises to make it right. We'll see what happens.
So, now here's the issue - the breaker is super pissed that I filed a chargeback, and it turns out that I paid him $2700 out of the $4k via gift, and he's refusing to refund those. :(
I mean - seriously - he better think long and hard about it because I've spent close to $40k with him this...
So, here's the situation - I bought 2 jumbo and 2 hobby cases of 2015 Bowman Chrome from a friend who is an online breaker. He shipped the cards to me via priority flat rate (just standard $100 insurance). The box is MIA. The tracking shows as delivered but I didn't get the package.
I have...
True, but the ball could have bounced away from the fielder. I've seen guys turn popups in front of home plate into doubles, so that is why I'm saying that you just don't know what can happen.
But I guess I figured out why Papelbon got into Harper - Harper ripped him to the press. You just...
honestly - I don't have a problem with what Papelbon said. How many times have we seen popups get dropped or missed, and a baserunner who hustled turns into into a double? It happens all the time.
However, Papelbon shouldn't have tried to strangle Harper - that's never excusable.
