Other Hits

Yovanni Gallardo Base Auto
Ugh
I saw another 10 boxes opened that day and the best other hit was a Jumbo Trout Jersey (no...
I was looking at some different Topps sets and it struck me by how different the designs were year to year in the 60's thru 90's versus the early to mid 2000's Topps.
This led to some horrific follow up designs to some iconic sets.
1. 1994 Topps Finest Baseball- 1993 Topps Finest is a...
It has been slipping every year in Indy but this year UD SPA has hit rock bottom. You can't give it away even at cost here. No Luck auto and college uni's have killed it in this area.
Also Topps Valor was a major dud here as well.
What products have sold terribly in your areas of the country...
1968 Topps Action All Star Sticker, card is oversized but and came 3 to a panel. Very tough to find these in good shape or centered. The 68 3D is my alltime favorite clemente card.
Shoulder's are bad news for any pitcher, just because the Cardinals are saying it's precautionary doesn't mean it is.
Shoulder issue hampers Miller : Sports
Box prices at Chicago Sun Times was down to 54 a box. I asked the dealer and he said he had sold a total of 6 boxes of it all weekend.
So what is wrong with this product that every 2 years it is terrible. 2008, 2010 and now 2012 were all terrible for differrent reasons but still terrible.

The Doug Martin Camo and Ref came from the same pack.
For the love of god he has 4 straight 300 yard, 3 TD games and is playing at virtually the same level when he was in Indy. Who cares if he lost 2 mph on his fastball? That deep route to DT in the first half was a bullet.
After opening and seeing opened many, many cases I came to the conclusion that it really is a terrible product. These are my reasons.
1. Way too many crap autos, too many boxes worth 15 bucks max, and that's generous.
2. The extra hits (non prospect auto type) are way too short printed. Come on...
Cost was $50 bucks for an entire box. Here are the results

Geeze you would think it was the equivalent of Hank Aaron passing Ruth's HR mark or Ripken passing Lou Gehrig. I didn't even know who held that record until a week ago. At least they didn't stop the game and have a ceremony on the field lol.
I haven't seen anything out here that would make me remotely want to buy it yet. Heck it looks alot like Momentum with the 4 square, small pieces of jersey/patch on the front of the RPAs.
With new sets being born every year and some oldies still around, I was asked at a card show what was a players best RC. I said National Treasures but it made me think with all of these new sets what base auto RC's (now the new standard) are coveted the most.
We have had Inception and 5 Star...
I just saw two cases of Topps Platinum opened live and a few other boxes busted and have only seen 2 base Andrew Luck RC's pulled. Is it a SSP or at least a SP or just bad collation?
Who is your Top 5 now after week 1?
1. San Francisco- they just beat a good team on the road and without the refs it would have been a blow out. They by far looked the best.
2. New England- I liked the Ravens but New England did beat them in the playoffs last year but the gap is closing.
