Well, here we go... I'll go with the same format... here's the box topper and first third of the box...
Again, these box toppers need to go... Topps, let's just agree that next year, these are cut from production. I've yet to read anyone that likes them, just sayin'...
I really want to get all the "What's in a Name" cards. But I didn't realize there were 100 of them... eeks...
Good ol' George Washington... and I should be able to trade the Loney for sure... but why, you may as, is the normal looking Montero included here and not in the previous scan?
Well there you go... the first hand numbered card of this box! Now the challenge of finding a D-Backs fan...
Second third, here we go!
Things got a bit out of wack in the 2nd third... 5 What's In A name and only 3 SP's... no worries, it corrects itself in the third third...
The culinary cards are great, but Muktuk sounds disgusting. I really like the Man's Best Friend mini's as well, but tough to get the set at one per box. Kinsler should be an easy trade as well. If any of you fine men or women pull a JD Martinez autograph, please let me know!
Alright, more shenanigans in the third third. The SP's evened out, but got shorted 2 mini's... BOO, but picked up an extra card shown below...
Yep, two highlight sketches and two pretty dang good ones at that!
Ok... now for the hit in the third third of the box!!!!
It's better than the rip card...
It's hand numbered...
It's RED INK!!!
It's a HOF'er!!!!!!
It's one of the best 3rd baggers of ALL-TIME!!!
I love doing this...
Keep scrolling, it's worth it!!!
MICHAEL JACK SCHMIDT!!!!!! SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!!!!!!!
This most undoubtably will not be the last of the 2012 A&G that I buy... but I doubt I'll top these two boxes this year. It's been a lot of fun...
Outside of the rip card and this ridiculous autograph... the collation on the base set has been horrid. I'm going to be posting a want list and you'll see I have a LOT of the base set still needed. Although I do have 26/50 of the SP's already! I will also let you all know what insert and mini sets that I am chasing and which ones will be available for trade.
Hope you all enjoyed my bit of A&G madness. I should have Gint-a-Cuffs but alas I disparaged A&G enough on their site that I'd be a hypocrite from crawling back... although I'd have gotten a hell of a lot of points for my Nolan Ryan EXT mini for sure!!! HAHA!
Have a great week everyone!!!
That is a nice pull. A really sweet card!
ReplyDeleteAs for your thoughts about box loaders - I don't care much for them 99% of the time, but I kind of like the idea of a cabinet card for the non-sport stuff. The roller coasters this year are a must-have in my collection because I love coasters so much. I don't really like the baseball ones much at all.
You had crazy success with those boxes! Holy Schmidt!
ReplyDeleteI'm in for the Kins. Let me see what I get in my box.
I cannot believe everyone luck. I SWEAR I AM CHARLIE BROWN. If it weren't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all!
ReplyDeleteGreat box! Congrats!
I think the improvement Topps needs for the boxloaders is to have them already in top loaders. They are a hassle because they are odd sizes, so it's hard to store them or trade them without destroying them. I would love to get an N43 or cabinet card already in a toploader to fit.
ReplyDeleteAwesome card, grats !! I also had issues with my base cards overlap so have a pile of base cards for trade and still 1/3rd I need.
ReplyDeleteWow, that Schmidt card. I mean...holy smokes!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!
I'd make you an offer on the Schmidt, but I aint got $200 layin around!! Nice pull. You guys are making me want to buy a box more and more every dang day!!
ReplyDeletesweet pull Sam! love Ginter red autos, congrats congrats congrats!
