Morning guys. Slept like crap in this hotel...heater is stuck in the "on" and "high heat" positions. Suuuuucks! The break last night turned out pretty well for me. I joined late so I haven't seen any of my hits yet. Griffeys and Ripkens though. I'm about 5 hours away from home...down in Wyoming and I start my days off tomorrow. Minneapolis, here I come! Brother in law is getting married on Saturday.

You hit a few Griffs and ARods with the Mariners, but you hit a numbered Ripken (player private issue) - that was pretty sweet.

Alex hit an expired Ankiel auto redemption that I promptly started cheering for him to send in.

Trying to not visualize how cool the 2003 Topps Gallery bat set would look framed....


And again today...

Thoughts and Prayers to all those in Boston:grouphug:

Good Morning Everyone!!

I had great fun on the break last night, thank you Brad for putting it on!

Brad Thanks for the PM regarding me hitting the Chipper Player's Private Collection!!!

Morning gents!

Okay, here's all the break goodness! Really happy with how this break turned out. Griffey and McGwire killed. The printing plate was a really cool pull. Ripken 1 of 250 PPI, Chipper /250 PPI, and McGwire /250 PPI and Alomar Exhibitions /125 were great hits. Sorry for the amateur USTREAM break - the boys certainly added some laughs, they liked the novelty of the new webcam. Thanks all who joined the live event and break - I certainly had fun, and was glad to pull some nice cards for you all!

Who got the Nomar gallery of heroes?

Good morning guys. We are getting hit with more snow Over the next couple of days the accumulation total is supposed to be 12" but I really hope that does not happen since I was hoping to go home tomorrow

 

[thejackaryman8]

Thanks again [MENTION=1845]gracecollector[/MENTION]! That was fun to watch and the kids were comical. That Ripken will be my new favorite, easily!

 

[FrostyCollects]

Those Topps Gallery cards look pretty nice...

I'm getting excited about making a huge artwork sale soon and that'll enable me to pick up even more big-name woodies in the near future.

I'm looking at YUUUU, Barry!

 

[thejackaryman8]

I think we should do this more often. Maybe I'll do the next break with awesome "vintage" or "retro" wax boxes. I'm gonna start looking now.

 

[alexs64]

I thought I had the Angels...I forgot I dropped them for the Cards. Glad I did. I also didn't recall picking Boston. HAHAH!!

MT group case breaks are as much of an American pastime as baseball.
