Re: AIC TCG FB Break #4 - '12 Topps Strata 12ct Case - Open Teams!!
There are about 6 teams or so I wouldn't mind getting as my second team. When will we know?

Actually I take my statement back, the Seahawks are left which is pretty good with Wilson and Turbin. Also I didn't see that you get a 2nd random team. Should read before I type! Can I get in on the Seahawks?
Don't mean to be a downer but having a case break where the person can pick their team and the cost is the same for each team is not the way to go. Either random draw for teams or have different prices for the teams. Nobody will pay $68 for the teams remaining or at least they shouldn't.
This is a real hit or miss product. I wanted to buy some, but with the holidays it is out of my price range right now. Cards look amazing and some nice hits, but also too many low end guys for a product this high end.
Any Cubs fan would appreciate this card. Reminds us of the days we had heroes...
What do you think the print run is of either the Andrew Luck or RG3 Base 2012 Topps Chrome Autograph?
There seem to be more of the parallel versions than the base out there, which makes me believe it’s pretty short printed.
Let me know your thoughts.
Got a deal on 3 boxes online (2011 Press Pass Fast Pass Edition, 2010 Panini Limited and 2009 Playoff Contenders). I was very pleased with 2 of the boxes, could of gone without the contenders, but you can't expect 3 for 3. Overall I am pleased with what I pulled.
In the 2011 Press Pass Football...
Just listed it 10 minutes ago and already have 3 offers, 1 so far is higher than what the first gold sold for, which I expect since this is #'ed to his jersey number.
Here is the listing:

I went to the LCS today to open a few packs. I started out opening 3 packs of SP Authentic football and I got 2 auto's, including the patch auto. Ronald Johnson was the Patch and Ras-I Dowling was the other auto, ouch! At least it only took 3 packs!
Then I noticed that they added a box topper...
I bought a 6 box case from Big T over the weekend for $215 on special and for cheap stuff, overall I am very pleased, even though the auto's are little to nothing.
Here is what I pulled:
Bryce Harpers:
6 base Bryce Harper cards
3 Baseball America All-Star SP's (Should only get 0.77 of him in a...
I just opened my 2010 Topps Pro Debut Series 2 case from Blowout and pulled another 2 1/1's. They were both Printing Plates, but they are big names and that makes 5 total 1/1's I've pulled for this week! The case was only $359, so no matter what I pulled, I was going to make money.
Here were...
To add to my 2 Red 1/1's, I went to LCS and bought a few more boxes and I pulled a 1/1 Canary Diamond! Still haven't pulled a Superfractor yet, but this will have to be close enough.
Main 3 hits were:
Javaris Reynolds Canary Diamond 1/1 (Astros)
James Harris Gold Ref Auto 4/50 (Rays)
Christian...
So far I have bought 1 sealed case and 1 extra box. I have $715 invested so far in 13 boxes.
The first 6 boxes of my case were just duds, just base autos and nothing better than a Blue Ref parallel. The last few boxes made it worth my investment. Nothing that will sell for big money, but...
So I have a case coming in, but I just couldn't wait for it, so I bought a box at a show this weekend and was very happy I bought it.
I still have not pulled a Superfractor in my life, but add another 1/1 to my total! Maybe I finally will in the case I have coming.
Auto - Francisco Lindor...
Last year there were 25 AFLAC autos with a total print run of 3,703, so it doesn't appear that you got 1 per case, probably 2 out of every 3 cases. Does anyone remember the pack odds for these?
Why would they only do 7 this year? I am hoping that was an incomplete list, but since this product...
I agree, I think this product more than any other will not be opened to be resold. Obviously some will, but with a product like this, you basically know what you are getting, just a matter of how low it is numbered or if it has something else other than an auto on it. I have 2 boxes coming that...
Save some for the rest of us! You are only supposed to get 1 Harper in every 3 cases, not 2 in 1 case! My case will probably have quadruples of some scrub thanks to you. You are so selfish! Obviously just kidding, congrats on the great cases.
Went to my LCS and started opening packs from a fresh box and ended up buying the whole box because the Prospect auto was in the 3rd to last pack. Pretty decent box, so I didn't buy anymore. Here are the hits I got, probably will list a few on Ebay tonight:
Ethan Martin Base Ref 44/500 (Dodgers...
I went to my LCS today looking for the new Bowman Chrome but he didn't have it yet, so I bought a box of 2011 Topps Heritage Minors for $50 and did pretty decent considering how bad the hits are in this stuff.
I got:
a Adam Bailey Clubhouse Relic
a Steven Souza Auto 395/861
a Francisco Martinez...
Back to Homser! I read an article a month ago that said he was going to be added to each of the upcoming Topps/Bowman products. So based on this you would think he would be in Bowman Chrome, however there hasn't been anything set in stone and no mention in the early checklist. It doesn't even...
All in all for a lower end product I say you did pretty well. You got a RPA, RedZone auto, a Favre Auto, a Super Bowl Relic and a 1/1 Printing Plate. That's basically something decent in each box. Not the greatest players, but looks like the SP autos might be easier to hit than last year. I...
Hopefully you are a Cubs fan, because I think you pulled every relic card of the Cubs possible! Even Lee was a Cubbie! Nice rip card, probably should have sold it, but I understand the itch to see what was inside. Too bad you didn't get more non-baseball stuff, but maybe you didn't want that...
