Congrats, and some of the guys I’ve even heard of ;)

Man, I couldn’t imagine having that kind of inventory, I think I’d start drooling at a pic of your storage units, lol

only player i collect is maggilo - DUH

Barry do me a favor and EMAIL me at my [email protected] your address info . I have a box set aside that's been sitting since XMAS I need to mail you. Can't locate your address must have deleted it. Will clear up some space I need.

Love the shrink-wrap scan. Great breaks recently, especially the 04 EE! I broke some of that back in the day.

Well I almost tossed it with the trash before I realized forgot to scan the box :rolleyes:

I'll scan the last few boxes of hits in a bit finishing up Fridays mailings.

Kirby Puckett addict I'll see whats what when we get there. I was a DLP ***** back then should have some Leaf base boxes.

And the rest now that I have finished scanning some stuff
Had the night off been working on medical and scans
Forgive the top loaders folks but starting to experience storage issues on the box breaks
The CS1 I use take up tons of space, so I am going to switch to top loaders for a while so I can stack more in various boxes

OK while I wait for the newest box to get here ( have to rely on family member to pick stuff up and ship from my Massachusetts storage) will break a box in house. This week lets do a 2006 TOPPS CHROME BASEBALL box .
24 packs with 4 cards a pack and like 2005 has lots of color inserts.
Also has some Mickey Mantle and Barry Bonds HR History cards along with two unusual inserts
Both were designed to celebrate our countries historically significant moments of creation.
On July 4,2006 we once again celebrated the signing of the Declaration of Independence and Constitutions in these cards.
They had both base versions and refractors included.

You can find more info on the boxes here @ baseballcardpedia.com/index.php/2006_Topps_Chrome

As always picks of the box before I crack open the seal
