Major Additions to my Phil Hughes Collection

Last week I received in the mail a few packages from purchases I made on Ebay the week before.

Card: 2007 Sweet Spot
Version: Brown Glove Black Ink
Numbered: 05/25
This card had evaded me in the past because it has sold for in the high 30's and was not willing to go that high. Ended up getting for $23 with shipping

Card:2008 Ultimate Collection
Version: Jumbo Jersey Auto
Numbered: 23/25
I had bid on this card a bunch of times in the past with no success. This time I found a seller who had it listed with a best offer. I got him to go from $60 all the way to $30 pretty happy with that.

Card:2008 Topps
Version: Final Season Patch
Numbered: 091/100
Hadn't seen this card listed before so I went for it and got it for $18.


Last but not least a ticket from Phil Hughes Major League Debut 4/26/2007. I have wanted this for awhile I attended the game after purchasing tickets off stub hub but they were paper tickets. I had always wanted a hard copy. I'm thinking of mailing it to him to have him sign it or try to meet up with him if he is back in AAA.


Results of the Giveaway will be announced soon.... Stay Tuned

2009 UD Ultimate 2 Box Break - MOJO!

On Wednesday afternoon I was checking out A Cardboard Problem and came across Sooz blog about the Upper Deck products called Look Ma No Logos. I said the Ultimate Jeter looked pretty sweet so I bought 2 Boxes from Big T Sportscards for very reasonable $79 (The price has gone up $10 since I bought it). I have never purchased a one pack product before but I said hell with it I'll try it. So here's how I did

Box 1
Base: Chase Utley & Todd Helton
RC: Daniel Bard
Ultimate Patch: Joe Morgan #21/35


Box 2
Base: Hanley Ramirez & Ryan Howard
RC: Bud Norris
&

Ultimate Signatures: Derek Jeter #23/50

I ended up pulling the exact card Sooz had shown on her blog. I was like no way! That is my 3rd Jeter Auto in 4 1/2 months. I love the base cards I was disappointed I didn't pull any Yanks base cards but can't complain about the Jeter Auto. The price is a little steep for 4 cards but if you pull a Jeter, Griffey or Ripken its worth it. Sorry for the short review I'm kind of speechless. Don't forget to check out my Wax Pack Giveaway from Yesterday.

Trade with Foul Bunt

Last week I worked out a trade with William @ Foul Bunt. I sent him a bunch of beloved Orioles in exchange for handful of Yankees cards. A really nice Jeter rookie was included which I didn't have and boy did Jeter look extremely young in 1993. He also included some nice #/d parrells that I needed. So Thank You William....

2010 Topps: On Target?

So my plan was to get the 2500 or so 2009 cards I had away before the 2010 cards were released next week. But I was thrown for a loop. I started seeing people posting about Target carrying 2010 Topps early. I find this extremely absurd why release retail before Hobby. I feel that the hobby collectors are the main purchasers of their products so its only fair to let them get them first. The value of these cards will drop some what with Target releasing before hobby. Thanks Topps you really deserve sole licensing. NOT!

Well yesterday I worked a 15 hour day but I did take 30mins out of my day to go to Target and grab 20 packs. I remember when I was a kid growing up the end of November was my favorite time because that when next years release was coming out and you wanted to see next years design. So I had to get my hands on a few packs. They probably had 50 or so packs but they were hidden they were stacked on some short shelf out of there box.The game plan is still to open a box of Hobby and & Jumbo when they are released and compare the 2. Here is the review for the Target packs they sell for $1.99 for 12 cards.

BASE CARDS

First thing I notice about the base cards are that the logos are way to big they make the cards childish. The photography on these cards are hit or miss the Ohlendorf looks cool but the Johnson & Mauer don't look great from that angle if the photo was from different angle it would be much better who wants to see someones back? Franchise history is hit or miss I love the A's one the Yankees one not as much.

SP Variation

I may seem weird but I like variation they give the packs a little more added value. I will only collect the Yankee ones and sell off the rest to put towards more packs.

Peak Performance

In retail jersey cards come 1:145 packs so I think I did pretty well pulling 1 out of 20 packs. The only disappointment is I can't see Youks beautiful face. NOT! No its that the card is Kevin Youkilis probably my least favorite player in baseball. Off to Ebay it goes...

1951 Red Back

I like these but this would be a tough set to put together because I don't plan on buying to many more packs from Target and individually on ebay there gonna go for dollar or 2. I'll just get the Yankees.

Million Card Giveaway

I like that all these cards aren't the same with codes on the back. For now I plan on selling these to take advantage of the high resell. When I buy my few boxes I'll redeem a few and see how I do.

The Cards Your Mom Threw Out

I don't like these cards one bit because guess what my mom never threw out my cards. So I still have 4 of the 6 cards I pulled. 1 of the 6 had its original back. I wonder if this is more valuable? Did anyone throw out your Longoria from last years set?

Legendary Lineage

I really only like the ones where the players are from the same team. I do like the design also.

The Staples
(Turkey Red & Topps Gold)


The Turkey Red look great as usual. As for the Gold they are slowly losing something. I remember when they were first coming out they seemed to be embossed gold not just printed gold. Those were much better. But still I like both these inserts. Players pulled not so much on the Gold side.

Rest of the Junk

(History of the Game, When They were Young, Tales of the Game, ToppsTown, Peak Performers)

These inserts were just added junk they should have never made this product. Who cares about when they young what a bunch of crap.

Overall
I'll rate this B- product

Negatives
-To Many Inserts
-Bad photography
-Watered down Gold
-Large logos

Positives
-Great Mix of Players
-Million Card Giveaway
-Sp Variations
- Great Photography

Let me know what you think. Enjoy!

Meeting Five Hall of Famers in 1 Day

When I was a teenager I attended the 1996 Baseball All-Star Fan Fest in Philadelphia. I had a blast there I said to myself I can't wait to attend another one I had to wait 14 years for that but it was worth the wait. On July 14th, 2008 I attended the 2008 All-Star Fan Fest @ the Jacob Javits Center in NYC. It was a rainy July day we arrived at the fest before the doors opened and as we walked in I was extremely disappointed the line was HUGE. I thought that this day was going to suck but what I didn't know was that day I was going to meet 4 Hall of Famers & a future Hall of Famer.

After waiting online for hours with my father and my future wife. I got to meet and get autographs from Goose Gossage, Rollie Fingers, Paul Molitor, Tony Gwynn & Andre Dawson. At this signing many people were asking Dawson about why he wasn't in the Hall of Fame. He seemed so pissed to be up there with other Hall of Famers. He graciously signed my ball and I wished him luck on being elected to the Hall of Fame. Of Hall of Famers Goose & Tony were extremely friendly. The 4 Hall of Famers all signed there induction years without even asking and MLB authenticated the ball for free. This is one of my most amazing baseball events I hope to share more with everyone in the future. Check out the photo of the balls below they look even better in person.

I'm Addicted to Cards - 2009 Bowman Sterling Box Break (Must See)

Product: 2009 Bowman Sterling
Boxes: 1
Packs: 6 Mini Boxes
Cards: 5 per box
Price: $220 per Box (picked up @ the White Plains Show

Went to Atlantic City Friday & Saturday did ok playing Craps. Not as much as I would have liked. Today I went to work the alarm went off at 5am exciting. All morning I said if its slow I'm going to cut out and hit the card show because I wanted to pick up some pages & team bags. Well it was super slow so I jetted out around 1:30pm. Stopped at the show on my way home picked up the pages & team bags looked around didn't see to many great deals on singles. So I hit up every dealer that had Sterling for a price and there was 5 dealers that had the boxes the prices ranged from $220-$240. So I bought from the cheapest guy and boy did I buy the right box. Check out the pack by pack breakdown below.

Box Topper: WBC Blue Refractor Jersey: Dae Ho Lee #019/125


Mini Box 1:
RC Base: Bobby Scales
Prospect Refractor: Abraham Almonte #073/199
RC Auto Gold Ref: Tommy Hanson #42/50
Prospect Auto: A.J. Pollock
WBC Jersey: Shinnosuke Abe

This pack alone with the Hanson makes box. I have yet to see anything lower then a refractor auto of Hansons hit Ebay I would guess this will go for $150. I also pulled a Yankee prospect refractor which is just an added bonus. Should I stop here?



Mini Box 2:
RC Base: Brian Duensing
Prospect: Michael Almanzar
Prospect Auto: Jiovanni Mier & Bobby Borchering
WBC Jersey: Fei Feng

No excitement here. So just check out the cards.


Mini Box 3:
RC Base Refractor: Trevor Crowe #042/199
Prospect: Brett Oberholtzer
RC Auto: Daniel Schlereth
Prospect Auto: Mike Leake
WBC Jersey Gold Refractor: Yu Darvish #29/50

Another Gold Refractor and it being one of the bigger stars makes this box a major success.


Mini Box 4:
Prospect: Edilio Colina
Prospect Auto Refractor: Reymond Fuentes #078/199
Prospect Auto: Scott Campbell
Dual Auto Posey & Beckham
WBC Jersey: Edgar Gonzalez

Wowsers another excellent hit with the dual auto. To me this box looks over the top.


Mini Box 5:
RC Refractor: John Mayberry #017/199
Prospect: Luis Exposito
RC Auto: Ryan Perry
Prospect Auto: Tommy Mendonca
WBC Jersey Refractor: Hanley Ramirez #162/199

No excitement here. So just check out the cards.


Mini Box 6:
RC Base: Tyler Greene & Travis Snider
Prospect Refractor: Greg Veloz #171/199
Prospect Auto: Drew Storn & Rinku Singh
WBC Jersey: Russ Martin

Got 6 cards of of this pack which is an added bonus.


I really didn't have the funds to buy this box but I did. I was really happy I bought the cards they look great. I also pulled 1 Killer hit & 2 decent hits to make this box a success. I would like to buy another box but I don't think I'd be able to come close to this box. I will be putting most of the hits on Ebay tonight but if you need any of the base cards or any of the following hits Martin, Ramirez, Gonzalez, Feng, Campbell, Storen, Singh & Schlereth let me know maybe we can work out a trade. What did you think of my box? I guess at times its ok to be addicted to cards........

Houston we Have a Problem + Ebay Pickups + A Trade

So my plan was to sell off all my hits from my Tribute break and buy a box of Bowman Sterling box but the sale was a major disappointment. Total sale for all the hits minus the Bando that I'm hoping to have Topps replace was $78. I was a little shocked I was expecting it to bring in more like $150. The biggest shocker was that the Dawson Auto #/50 sold for under $14. So there goes the idea of buying sterling as the pay pal account is pretty low. The plan is to sell off a few more cards I have left over from other box breaks and buy 1 Jumbo & 1 Hobby 2010 Topps and do a comparison when they first hit shelves.

Picked up a few cards on Ebay this week 2 Yankees from Unique #/1199 and I added a 2008 Bowman Chrome Orange Refractor David Robertson #10/25 for under $9 with shipping I had been searching for this card for sometime so this was pretty exciting to get into my hands.

I also completed a nice trade with It's Like Having My Own Card Shop I sent them over a 2 Brandon Webb #/d cards in exchange they sent me 2005 Topps Retired Signatures Roy White. Its really nice card so thanks again.

This maybe my only post of the weekend as I head this afternoon to Atlantic City to do some gambling. If I win big I may buy a box of Sterling so lets hope.

Trade with Chris @ On Card Autos

I recently sent Chris over @ On Card Autos a bunch of Cubs cards. In return he sent me over 100 Yankees cards Whoo Hooo. Included were 3 Jersey cards & 1 Bat card. The one that really stuck out at me was 2001 Fleer El Duque Bat card. Its a nice design but I don't think this bat ever hit a ball in 2000 when I would think this bat is from he was 0 for 9. Bat cards of pitchers are really strange to me but its a Yankee card I needed so I love it.

Some of the base cards I enjoyed were the 2009 Topps Black Wal-Mart version cards. I didn't pickup many of these since I can't stand Wal-Mart and all the trashy people that shop there & work there. So they were a nice addition to the collection. Also included were 2 1984 Topps cards I don't really have many Yankee cards before I started collecting as a kid in 1986. Also check out the Bubba Crosby card he signing balls for 2 little girls I wonder if those girl even know there on that card.

I want to thank Chris again for his wonderful package. Please check him out at @ On Card Autos. He is great guy and I have done some breaks for his blog. Oh by the way he's a huge Nomar Garciaparra so if you have anything you want to trade of his Chris is the guy.

As I have said before If you collect a team please let me know I have about 15,000 doubles I need to unload with 90% of them coming from 2006-2009. Some teams I have over 800 cards of. I'd be willing to work a deal out to liquidate some of those cards in your favor.

The Day I Met Mr. Steroid

So today Mark David McGwire finally admitted what the world has known for many years. I have to say when I was growing up I loved the Yankees but in the late 80's & early 90's the other team I followed was Oakland A's. The reason for this was because they had the Bash Brothers. Who doesn't love the Home Run. Once Canseco left in 1992 they weren't the same so I never really overly followed them again. My favorite card of McGwire's is the 1991 Fleer Insert Pro Vision. It just looks so patriotic. Its a shame he had to use steroids but boy were those 1998 & 1999 seasons exciting. On August 9, 2001 I traveled up to Montreal on a family trip to see the Expos play the Cardinals. As I have done at many other stadiums across this great country I waited by the dugout for Autographs and out pops McGwire everyone is screaming and getting excited he comes over starts signing in my area. When he get to me I hand a OML Baseball and try to hand him a ball point pen. I asked him to sign the Sweet Spot. Instead he signs the side the ball with a sharpie. 9 years later its extremely faded and after looking at Autos people paid for my freebee doesn't look so great. He just shorthanded the Auto because I wasn't a paying customer. Is this right? It put a sour taste in my mouth so I kind of lost interest in him. It still sits in my collection. Just another story to tell my kids one day that I met Mr. Steroid. I wish him luck in his new endeavors.

2009 TOPPS TRIBUTE BOX BREAK (Pack by Pack)

Product: 2009 Topps Tribute
Boxes: 1
Packs: 6
Cards: 5 per pack
Price: $218 per Box (Includes Shipping)


PACK by Pack Breakdown

Pack 1
Base: Keith Hernandez
Base: David Wright
Base: Ozzie Smith
Blue: Eddie Mathews #188/219
Blue Auto/Bat: Sal Bando #69/75

Cards are extremely glossy fingerprints get on them way to easy. I do like the thickness of the cards. I hate bad mouth Sal Bando since he did win 3 World Series with A's in the 70's but I don't really think he should be included in this product. Also there are some printing blemishes on his and hat. Topps at it again with there shoty work. Pack 1 Gets a D+

Pack 2 (New York State of Mind)
Base: Howard Johnson
Base: Babe Ruth
Base: Don Larsen
Black: Keith Hernandez #43/99
Blue Jersey: Alex Rodriguez #57/75

This was an all New York pack which is nice the Arod card has a little bit of strip showing but after his steroid mess last season his value has been cut in half in the card world. Pack 2 Gets a B-

Pack 3
Base: Rollie Fingers
Base: Adrian Gonzalez
Base: Randy Johnson
Blue: Don Zimmer #195/219
Dual Jersey: David Wright #71/99

Nice dual David Wright card would have been better with auto but I'll have to live. I think David Wright is the player I hit most with when ripping packs. Rollie Fingers card is cool I met Fingers at the 2008 All-Star Fan Fest in NYC got his auto might have to show it off sometime. Pack 3 Gets a B-

(Scary halfway thru and nothing overly satisfying)

Pack 4
Base: Jim Palmer
Base: Lou Gehrig
Base: Matt LaPorta
Gold: Jimmie Foxx #15/50
Black Auto Bat: Andre Dawson #12/50

So I pulled the newly elected Hall of Famer. I also met Dawson like Fingers @ the Fan Fest. That's a pretty nice card. 2 cards #/50 in this box this one takes the lead. Pack 4 Gets a B+

Pack 5
Base: Dustin Pedroia
Base: Thurman Munson
Base: Darryl Strawberry
Black: Bo Jackson #15/99
Auto Jersey: Jonny Podres #35/99

Nice Jersey Auto of Podres with the old school relic. Also pulled a decent #/d card of Bo who does know baseball. Pack 5 Gets a C+

Pack 6
Base: Paul Molitor
Base: Ichiro
Base: Halladay
Blue: Matt Laporta #113/219
Dual Jersey Black #12/50: Ryan Howard

Nothing that blows my mind. Pack 6 gets a C+

Overall I'd give this box a C. This product is not a $218 a box product I'd say at $140 this would be a good deal. Going to put all the hits on Ebay so I can recoup my money and break a box of Bowman sterling in hopes of doing better.

Have a Great Night

Adding to My Collection + Cards for Trade Link

Over the last few days I added some nice cards to my Phil Hughes collection. I also added a really nice Jason Giambi 2003 Authentix game used bat card. The only thing that could be better with this card is if the ticket was real and not a replica. Another funny thing I tried looking up the game listed on the ticket and the funny thing is the Yankees were off that day. I guess I'll have to live with it.


If you check out my sidebar I posted links with cards for trade please check them out. If you want something let me know will work out a deal. Check these often as I plan to add more cards on weekly basis.

Good news 2009 Topps Tribute won the poll for the break I'll be doing. I purchased a box Yesterday off of Ebay I should have a break by early next week. I got the box for $218 I think that's a pretty good deal.

1 Pros. Blue Refractor (J.R. Higley)
1 Xfractor Auto (Connor Graham)

Summary: Nice pull with Pujols Xfractor. Auto was a tough pull but of the wrong player. The question is was this box worth the $33 I paid for it? Ahhh not really but at least I didn't pay $60 like I did in my last round of this product.

1 Base Xfractor (Martin)

1 Base Blue Refractor (McCann)
1 Base Gold Refractor (Upton)
1 Pros Orange Refractor (Farris)
1 Blue Auto (Dinesh Kumar Patel)

Summary: Very colorful box the best box so far. I thought Kumar Patel was in Harold & Kumar go to White Castle I didn't realize he pitched also. I don't think Farris is really any prospect but a nice pick up.

Pizza Break then Back to last box

1 Pros. Refractor
1 Base Xfractor
1 Pros Xfractor
1 Pros Blue Refractor (Shaw)

If anyone needs base cards from this set let me know most insert will be posted on EBAY within the next 48hrs so I can pick up a box 2009 Tribute.
