Awesome card. Hope it's a real bat barrel rather than a store model. It looks like it's in too nice of condition to be 50 years old...

Agreed, someone please show me a game used Stan bat with his signature model like this one. Looks way too clean and fresh.

Maybe. Happy for Mudflap02 and the great amount of $ he's gonna get when he puts it on eBay. But the bottom line is, as I pointed out in the Schmidt thread, that this high end stuff seems a little sketchy. If an expert on Musual stuff wants to come here and say I'm wrong, then I'll accept their opinion. Otherwise, it is my opinion that Topps is capable of anything shady and this very well can be a store model bat.

Now, hopefully Topps won't threaten to sue me too...

Props to Gilmo for having the break off camera yet still going through with that pull. Some lesser moralled individuals would have canceled the break due to technical difficulties and opened another box.

WOW. Have you always been such an idiot? Or is this just a recent trend?

While I appreciate the insult, I'm not quite sure how it was deserved in this case. I was simply stating that there are plenty of unethical individuals in the hobby who do "group breaks" who would see an $800-1000 card on top of the box, then claim that the break had to be redone, and then grab another box. I was complimenting Chris' ethics for not being one of those people, not that it was in question in the first place.

Simmer down.

You whole comment was just uncalled for. Plain and simple. There wasn't anything stated previously that would warrant you to even post it.

Uncalled for? In a hobby/business full of ******, I complimented the guy's ethics. Are we living in a society where one cannot compliment someone's ethics?

Is +1 still allowed 'cuz I totally agree...

And it's kinda funny that Jeff even riles someone when he's paying someone else a compliment!

yeah that anti-Jeff bash was strange :-|:-|:-| dude was just giving the captain some props

Thanks to our new chat system, he told me to enjoy the lunch my wife made me, "a sandwich of baby dicks and mayo".

There are ********** everywhere. It's nice to see someone out himself.

how nice of topps to send FCB a loaded box. ;)

seriously, great break. I don't think I"ve noticed any five star box break that has been greater than this one.

Congrats to the winners & as Jeff said kudos to Gilmo for being the standup guy that we never doubted he was. That Musial is amazing!

No one asked you to message me. And if you are going to quote me John Gibbons, do it correctly.

I said, "I hope you enjoy the lunch your wife packed for you, I heard you liked baby dicks and mayo."

No mention of a sandwich at all, but if that is how you fancy them, more power to you.
