Yes we did; went pretty smoothly too. Why?

Good thing I don't have these in front of me - they'd be soaked with drool!

If you ever get sick of looking at the B. Wallace send it my way for disposal! ;-)
Also, I've never paid much attention to Daniel Hudson's auto... Is it just me or does his sig look like a bad Jeter forgery? LOL!

Haha, I'm sure we could work out something for the Wallace down the line; right now, I have to receive a few more that Topps has to frame (McEnroe, Lysacek). A handful of mine are PC either for me or my family; I also picked a few cards for some fellow FCB members, I'm sure they know who they are by now .

Also, not pictured are the ones we will most likely put on eBay: George W Bush and Manny Pacquiao. We have the Bush in hand, but Topps "forgot" to send the Pacquiao with the first shipment...

It's all good way before we actually got the set, we pretty much knew what we all wanted, and it turned out that there was only a very minimal of names that more than one of us wanted. This is partly because we already had agreed to sell the "big names" to avoid this kind of situation. All in all, we were all very happy with our respective shares!!

Edit - thanks Mox for reminding me: here it is

[matchpenalty]

Great stuff.

How many years have they done these codebreaker frames for winners.
Topps say if you get one for 2012 ?

Joe (jcmint) - thanks for the compliment, it was nice meeting you at the show!!

Great stuff.

They have done this for the Codebreaker set since the first installment in 2007; we are supposed to receive the entire 2012 auto lineup in Codebreaker frames too, but they're still working on framing them...

thanks again everyone for the kind words !!

Outstanding again Frenchie!!! The 2011 set has some great names in it and I'm please to see you landed the Pujols I can't wait to see you guys get the 2012 set in hand...best auto set IMO and I would give the Felix Hernandez a great home if you somehow come across it Hats off to you guys...that is soooo much work and so neat to see it done by a team of collectors!
