How do you use Photobucket to post a picture of a card? I clicked on the photobucket button and pasted the path from the photobucket site. I tried all the different options, can someone help me?
Went to the LCS today, wanted a box of the Leaf Metal FB or Leaf Ali, but he didn't have it yet, so I got a box of 2011 ITG Baseball for $85. Not a bad break:
Drew Pomeranz Silver Auto /390
JR Murphy Silver Auto /390
Adam Warren Silver Close Up Auto /190
Paul Goldschmidt Gold Country of Origin...
Re: 2 box 2011 Leaf Metal Draft
You can't have it Ryan it's mine, just kidding. Nice pull on the Gabbert and Stanzi.
I got to meet Stanzi this past weekend in Des Moines, seems like a nice guy and gives a really nice signature.
Got a box of 2008 Tristar Prospects Plus Baseball for $23. This is the best value out their. I was able to make another full set using extras I had from other boxes I opened.
Here are the hits I got, you are supposed to get 9, I guess Printing Plates are "Extra" hits.
Parallels:
Brett Wallace...
Well if you were a Vikings fan you would be happy. Not the worst box I have seen, but if you are selling the cards, you will certainly take a lose. These boxes are overpriced for me to buy. Too many crappy rookies to pull.
I think the 2008 Tristar Prospects Plus Baseball is the best value out there right now. You can get boxes for like $23. 4 Auto's, 1 Jersey and 4 Parallel's #'ed out of 50 or lower along with nearly 3/4th of a base set. There are 57 auto's in the set and about 15 or 16 are pretty decent. In the 4...
The price of this product has dropped almost in half and I still haven't bought any of this. Even at $10 a pack this is overpriced. The jerseys are terrible except for a very few, so you basically are looking for the 2 auto's and even those can suck. No patches and no parallel of the jerseys...
Looks like you got all or most of the case hit in just 25% of the case WTG! I did about as good in my first 2 boxes, then I kept buying. I did decent and got the boxes for $50 each, so I can't complain, but didn't get the huge pulls like I did at first. This is a great product for the price...
If I can get around $75 for the Brentz I would be very happy. I put that up on Ebay along with a set I was very happy to finally complete.
It's the Original 42 card Bowman Chrome USA Refractor set (both U18 and College USA sets #'ed out of 777).
The Harper refractor has been selling for as...
Ha Ha, minor detail! Topps should that you were thinking of sending in your wrappers and have your packs waiting for you! Good luck once you do send them in and get them back.
Yeah it's crap for the price they are selling for. It's a decent promotion, I just thought there would be at least 1 auto per 12 packs. If they wouldn't have given free packs to distributors and cardshops and would have mailed them out once the promotion was over so they knew how much to make...
Good call on that, I was thinking the samething. It's the same reason I don't usually buy individual boxes from Ebay because I am afraid that people will open the good boxes and sell the crap. Not always likely, but I would rather spend an extra $5 and have a chance at something good.
Yeah even getting the Bryce Brentz auto, which is better than most will get, I will be lucky to get as much as I could have selling the packs.
I had 15 packs and I could of got about $8 for each pack, so that would have been $120 total.
If I can get $50 or $60 for the Brentz auto, that means I...
That's awesome. I don't know if you are a big fan of Ackley or not, but once you finish the rainbow and he is called up in the bigs this year and is ROY contender, you could probably sell the rainbow set for nearly $1,000. Either way if you keep it or sell it, that is a nice set you completed...
Just got my other 13 packs in today, just 1 day after I got my first 2 packs.
So in 15 total packs, I was able to make 1 complete set and have 40 doubles.
My notable doubles are: Stephen Strasburg, Starlin Castro, Brett Jackson, Donavan Tate, Juilo Teheran, Jose Iglesias, Hak-Ju Lee, Randall...
I think you are exactly right, Topps is holding back on us because they think they will get way more redemptions in than they actually will. I am sure they will end up giving many of these auto's via other replacements in the future.
Do you really have the Ackley Rainbow for Bowman Sterling or...
That's true about shop owners and distributors getting packs, that really hurts our odds.
Here is proof Topps is doing the redemptions backwards. I sent in 13 boxes worth of wrappers in 1 week after the promotion started, yet I have not got them yet.
But I just sent in 2 boxes worth of wrappers...
Since I emailed him the Upper Deck links yesterday, he never wrote me back. I thought I would hear from him today. Hopefully he is either calling Upper Deck or taking the card to his local card shop. If he would just talk to anyone that he trusts and knows about cards, they will be able to tell...
Those odds are just terrible. They promised over 2,250 autographed cards and I think that was before they added the USA auto's out of 100 (not the USA Buyback ones), the USA ones were just supposed to be Black Auto's /25. So that would probably add another 2,000 to the 2,250 if there are 20 in...
Id name is Kokal23 and is from Hibbing, Minnesota.
He has 100% feedback and 676 positive feedbacks and from what I can see most of his recent transactions are sports cards, so he should know well enough.
I should just tell him to take it to any local card shop and they could tell him in 2...
I just sent him an email showing the Beckett checklist listing that this card exist, and I sent him email and phone contacts for Upper Deck, plus the back of the card states that it is authentic. I really don't know what else I need to do.
12 packs and not 1 auto? Bad job Topps. Based on estimated odds, you should get at least 1 auto for sending in a case worth of wrappers.
I sent in 15 boxes, I was hoping for 2 auto's, now I am not so sure. If I don't get at least 1 I will be really unhappy.
Yes, I did get Insurance and Signature Confirmation, I did cover myself there.
Will I get my sales fees back if I have to return the money? Ebay charged me $50 and I think Paypal was around $80. I believe I would get most of the Paypal fees back, but not sure about the Ebay fees.
