Wife picked up 3 packs and 1 blaster for me from Walmart.

First pack-Relic Rosario
Second pack-Alonso and Tatis RC
Third pack- Glossy 1/1 huh? Wasnt expecting anything like that from walmart and only reason why I noticed is because 2 minis were in the pack which I found odd. -Posada-

Blaster box-fun with a 2 color Happ relic.

I usually dont buy this stuff but might get some now.

Famous last words.

Ok. Now that was witty.

More likely around $200 to start. Depends on whether or not he is SP.

Have you picked your leather boot out yet?

I would accept an over-cooked piece of liver with no seasonings, and of course a video of you consuming it.

You know what's funny? I've never uploaded a video of anything to anywhere.

That's strange, who uploaded that video of you on phub then?

What is the difference between base wood minis and ext wood minis? Arent they the same card? How do you know the difference between the two? Different image? Different card number?

Card #. The ext wood minis are 351-400 if I'm correct. And those are a different photo as well.

[wood minis]

There are 350 base cards in the A&G set. There are an additional 50 extended minis that come out of the rip cards numbered 351-400. There is a 1/1 wood mini parallel for all 400 cards except for last year when 1-350 never surfaced.

Is one more desirable over the other? The base over the ext? Thanks for the explanation by the way

[BrewPack82]

According to Topps, I’m older than Ty Cobb. Also, what year is “Nineteen Five”?

The extended minis may be valued slightly higher over the base simply because the checklist is more star, HOFer, hot rookie filled. They're all 1/1s so if it is a card you have to have, base or extended, you will likely have to pay up for it unless no one else has interest in it.

[pryantexas]

Four boxes into my case and I have only one card worth more than $5 - a David Ortiz tip card that contained a Kris Bryant not exciting mini

Hopefully things improve

By the way, Errol Morris is a fantastic documentary filmmaker, alongside Werner Herzog. Gates of Heaven and Vernon, Florida are my favorites of Morris, while Herzog has directed documentaries, bigger-budget films, and the like.

To stay on topic: They'd both make interesting Ginter subjects!

Pack out was rough for my cases relating to base cards... Only able to get 4 base sets out of 3 cases. Missing card #112 Cabrera from 2 cases.

[notoriousrmb]

Deleted post. Issue resolved.

Sorted enough base to have 10+ of every other base card but only have 2 Kaline.

Just odd collation on my break?

Has to be poor collation. I had four or five of every base card in one case. Literally no more or no less for every one. Four or five.

That’s nuts. I had four base sets in one case.

[CoEnt85]

Just had a nice hot box:
Pete Alonso gold border RC
Jon Lester relic
Rhea Butcher relic
Javier Baez mini metal
Miles Mikolas cloth 5/10
Pete Alonso mini framed auto

I pulled out the big 3 rookies to sell as singles and there was definitely uneven collation. In the first three cases I think it was like 8/10/14 respectively for the big three.
