8 Topps $15 Boxes..

[orion9578]

I'll post scans up if anyone wants to see. My hits were:

Topps
Yastrzemski SP
Yogi Berra Jersey
20 Diamond giveaways which yielded mostly crap but I did hit a free pack from one "dig" and a diecut Hank Aaron from a code.

Heritage
Various SP's
Edwin Jackson Chrome
Robin Roberts Flashback Stadium

and the big hit, though it's not a highly collected player, came from topps:
Yunel Escobar 1/1 canary(sweet looking card in person)

Thanks for looking!

PS. I know they say there are no stupid questions but can anyone tell me if the 2011 topps packs from these boxes are hobby packs?

Nice canary! Even low end players can go for a decent amount! Awesome pull, my man! That Aaron is also $40+ (or should be based on the one that sold).

There's another canary attributed to these boxes. Can we get a scan of the Yunel? What are your plans for it?

And they are retail packs.

What was the free pack you hit with the codes?

Nice job with the Canary and Aaron!

The Roberts could pay for one of the boxes also; I pulled a Wilhelm and he was selling for $12-20.

Have sold for $8 to $13.

Not a bad card ! And I'd guess that Canary could hit at least $85

I have the card scanned but photobucket is down. It says it'll be up later. I'm not quite sure what I'll do with it. More then likely I'll sell it. I'm not quite sure how to tell what pack I got. How do I tell? When I click on my prize list it says the only thing I can do is "request delivery" which says it won't be available for a few weeks. It just says a 70's-80's pack. And how did someone sell a Aaron if the cards aren't being sent yet? Weird!

Thank you both for the comments!

As for the packs, I think it's a pack "of Topps' choosing". You could get a 1971 pack, or a 1988 pack.

With the Aaron, it's possible to sell off-site and arrange a "trade" with the Diamond Topps system. For example, you could sell the Aaron for $40. With the trading system, you would "trade" the Aaron for a junk common card the other member has redeemed on the site. Of course, this assumes that the buyer has participated in the Diamond Giveaway and has cards in his account.

Ah, gotcha. I did that with a local buddy. Traded him all the cards on the old site for 1 random common because I was pretty much just bored with it. Maybe I'll try that if I can get someone to buy it . Thanks!

Nice pull on the Escobar. I was a big fan of his when he was in Atlanta and still follow him even though he's in Toronto.
