they were probably game issued, but not used. I only paid $42 for them.

I'm going to have to buy a few of those die cuts. I'd imagine Trout is the biggest pull right?

Can't think of a bigger name at the moment, but that could change.

Die cuts (non auto version) are not tough, but they're essentially one per
Box. Ideal odds if you ask me. Not super easy, but not too hard. Think there are 50 in the set though. Nice addition to Chrome IMO. I miss one-per-box insert sets that look good and that have a good checklist.

Glad I hit the base rookies in my packs. Wanted them or my PC, and now no so-called "pressure" to buy more. Autos would be nice, but they are essentially a grand-prize lottery ticket in retail -- few and far between.

Although I DID pull a Strasburg "rookie" refractor auto from a 2010 value pack, so that's always in the back of my mind.

Scares me that so many people express their opinions against a person/topic when they either have not completely heard the person/topic or dont understand the person/topic.

probably but since I used paypal, I am covered. I called and worked with the guy and he sent the claim out. The guy sent me funds back, but in the form of a payment which made it seem like I owed him merchandise which i don't. So I let the paypal rep know this and he filed the claim.

Sorry to hear your misfortune, Alex S.

Since I am getting Campanella, I got curious to see his vintage cards...oooh, some nice ones. Does anyone here own a GU/cut-auto card of his (single, not with other players)? Just wondering.

I need to keep my basement clean on a regular basis. After taking a few days to assemble my new TV stand and two media towers, my head got all cobwebbed when I reached for cables behind the old TV stand. The media towers will be mostly for video game systems...someone here mentioned video games. Anyone here still have old games/consoles?

EDIT: I see this is my 700th post...300 more to go!

Thanks guys. He's been at the vet for about half an hour.

I am hoping he just ate something that didn't sit well.
