And the 2nd purple auto is unusual should have been a base /13 purple item
No complaints from my sender he's happy :)

[MENTION=2026]tramers[/MENTION] set that aside with some more for your kiddies

Before I move on to the next Finest got a package in todays mail from a friend I've done lots of favors for over the years
Apparently wanted to thank me and decided he's enjoying my posts so "FREE" packs of 2019 PANINI VIP were sent as a gift

I won't lie folks- brought a HUGE smile to my face :D

Pack pics below will break them in a little bit

Two are thin packs and one is a thick pack- will open thick pack last. I'll resell to bring more boxes here from storage :)

Beat to hell looks like the bottoms gone thru the ringer hopefully the box had my normal bubbles and wrap inside

Pics below the Barrett's already on feeBay so feel free to bid on it there will help get more boxes here to Vegas
and sooner or later empty this stupid storage unit I've paid for the last 12 years :(
The other 2 are on a PSA sub already headed out to CA in a week or so figured I'd slab them and sell to the registry guys .

2003 FINEST MASTER BOX

OK up next is 2003 FINEST baseball. This years included a Gold Chrome Uncirculated Refractor card of some type
Three mini boxes in this master box- 6 packs a box with 5 cards a pack

Info as always can be found here at baseballcardpedia.com/index.php/2003_Finest

And apparently its how FCB is linking to that site because if I go directly no linky notice comes up:confused:

Pics as always of the boxes themselves. BTW I messed up the 2002 pics as I included the bottom of the 2003 box :eek: Ah well it happens to old men we forget what we are doing. So I took the pic off the incorrect post and put it here where it belongs !!
