I hit the LCS today and saw they had a lonely 2012 BDPP Jumbo box on the shelf. Very pleased, and the serial is 50/50. On the way out, I got sucked into a 2012 Topps Chrome FB box, looking for some Russell Wilson stuff. Got a crappy redemption auto, and then in the second to last pack, it was...

Rendon auto
Szczur red ice /25...
I've received close to 20 2011 EEE redemptions back in the last couple of days. For Rosario, I was expecting 2x base and 1x 100, but received these:
I wonder how many red stickers ended up on base autos. Possible 1/1 error :o Anyone received/expecting a red auto and know what they're...
I opened this box at my LCS yesterday before taking the kids to the UVA-UNC baseball game, so neglected posting until now:
Hits:
-Signature Swatch Dual Relic Auto redemption Jeremy Hellickson
-Primary Pieces Four Player Quad Relics Red /75 #GHPT Adrian Gonzalez/Ryan Howard/Albert Pujols/Mark...
Scored the Ichiro RC /1250 and the two UVA Hultzens in a trade at the LCS today. The Hultzen was a giveaway at a UVA game this week, as part of a team set. Really wish I had known about the giveaway.
The Walkers and Liddi are semi-recent eBay pickups, and the Seager Canary 1/1 is pack pulled...
I picked up a box of 2011 Bowman Draft today and hit a Starling refractor auto redemption and a Red (5/5) Christian Pelaez USA refractor.
I decided to try a box of 2011 EEE, and hit a redemption for a building blocks quad auto of Starling, Bell, Nimmo, and Dwight Smith, Jr. (/5), along with a...
The boys and I had so much fun putting together the Phillies package for JEBJJA's 7yo son last week, that we want to make this a weekly giveaway, until we get through all the MLB teams. When replying, please give us the info Micah asks for below, and select a team that has not already been...
I pulled this card at the LCS this morning: Red ink on-card auto /11. Check out the enlargement of the serial number. It looks to me like instead of a "/" this card was printed with a "%". It doesn't appear to be a simple printing flaw. I have checked other examples of this card on ebay, and...
Since I sent my 9 stacks of wrappers in at the end of the month, and heard that Topps ran out of packs, it surprised me to get my stack of 9 packs in the mail today. Here are the results:

Dictated by my 7yo:
We were looking on FCB and saw a Ken Griffey, Jr. graded 8 for free from Keyser Sose and we decided to ask for it since we collect Mariners. When we got it in the mail there were lots of other cool cards too. My brother and I had a fun time getting all those cards for our...
Micah (7) and Caleb (5) say a big thank you for the free cards, Keyser Soze! They have been excited to check the mail every day, and your package exceeded their expectations. Thanks for your generosity.
We got these into sleeves right after this shot (no cards were damaged in the making of...
Need:
Edgar Martinez:
Red: #/5
Framed Printing Plates: #/1
Felix Hernandez:
Purple: 1/1
Please PM me a price and/or what type of cards you are looking for. Thanks!
I must say that the base cards and parallels are gorgeous, and well-quality controlled! However, I opened 5 boxes, which was about 4 boxes too much. No giant hits for me, but here are the ones that are going into the PC:
The Clemente is /15. At least I hit a lot of M's! Not a huge fan of...
This arrived in the mail today! :D
I was fortunate to find it on eBay right after the first variation SPs were announced, but before A.J. Green was announced, and certainly before I knew the print run was only /25!
I've got it listed BIN/BO, for what if probably too high of a price...
4:28 PM · Seattle Mariners ? @Mariners
Jesus Montero with a big home run to center field.
4:37 PM · Seattle Mariners ? @Mariners
Jesus Montero just took a few foul balls off his mask. He is coming out of the game for precautionary reasons. We'll update with any details
I was listening on...
Looks like Bryce Harper is signing a bunch of stuff for Topps today. Hopefully that includes some well-centered green Draft redemptions with a nice fresh pen!

Pretty happy with the box of Five Star I picked up at the LCS today. Sorry for the bad cell phone pic. The 1/1 is a Game-used letter patch of Michael Vick. The Peyton Manning and Kaepernick/Hunter book were fun hits too.
I've opened more than my share of EEE this year, and gotten some nice hits, like a Bauer /5, Bubba /25, Bell /25, Bell/Bubba dual /20, and Nimmo /5. There was a box left at the LCS today calling my name though, and I think it's my favorite single EEE box :D
