I made my 4th annual trip to watch the Pirate's Spring Training. This one was a bit different than others because I now cover the Pittsburgh Pirates for buzzintheburgh.com (check out my page here: Pittsburgh Pirates - Bucco Shark Tank | Pittsburgh Buzz - BuzzNtheBurgh.com). I put up a few...
I had a redemption for a 2012 Topps Tier One Andrew McCutchen silver auto/25...and I got this as a replacement:
So I'm not very happy, and rather upset. How do I go about getting something that is a more equitable replacement?
Despite the snow flurries, I enjoyed being at the ballpark again!
The weather and tarp ruined the chance to see any BP:

I know that they are probably very tough, but is there anyone on the Yankees who is a good signer? I'll be seeing them in Cleveland in April and want to make sure I something for anyone who signs.
Thanks,
Jim
I previously posted this in the TTM/IP Forum, but no one looks there, plus I know there are several Pirates fans who would enjoy these on this board, excuse the excessive scanning please!
I just got my 2013 Heriatge Starling Marte redemption in the mail, however The picture in the auction for the card I purchased is for the "Real One Special Edition Autograph" (red auto)...I was sent the regular "Real One Autograph." That is problem #1, problem #2 is that I didn't notice until...
I'm going to post all my auto's in one thread this year, that way I can keep one rolling thread of everything that I get! I'm going to re-post my TribeFest auto's as they were signed in 2013!
I hope everyone enjoys!

I had Cody Allen...
I ordered 10 boxes and am waiting for my shipment...the status of my order is "processing"...I'm just wondering if there is any chance that the cancel my order? If not, I'm listing them on ebay

I really love the Topps Museum framed auto's, so I just had to have this!
I thought it would look great next to my 2011 Topps Marquee Museum framed auto!
Like an idiot, I had Cody Allen sign the wrong card...I didn't realize that the Cody Allen on the Indians was never in the Marlin's organization...furthermore Cody never said anything to me about it not being him on the card, I realized it later on..it's definitely a first for me!
This...
What kind of strategy do I need to have to get as many auto's as possible? Do I need to get to the event an hour early to get in line to enter as early as possible? I have to do this for PirateFest, but I'm not sure how heavily attended this event will be.
Any help will be appreciated!

I haven't seen this Cutch in over a year, I still need the 2010 Topps Target, Topps Gold, and Topps Red Border McCutchens...any help would be appreciated!
2012 Topps Allen & Ginter Cutch mini EXT, shout out to wampier for this deal!
these are 1967 Pirates Stickers Topps...
I'm sorry, but the more I think about it and look at the numbers, Jack Morris doesn't belong in the hall of fame..he was a durable, decent to good pitcher like Dennis Martinez. Guys like John Tudor, Dave Steib, Fernando Valenzuela, Dwight Gooden, Rick Reuschel, Ron Guidry, Orel Hershiser, Frank...
does anyone know which alums will be there? I know some of the usual suspects are Hargrove, Bell, Barker, Manning, Joe Charb, anyone else usually attend these events?
thanks,
Jim
