Wow, that Braun auto really got me some serious pointage. As per usual, this set looks great. In fact the cards look so nice, I was motivated enough to clean my scanner so everything would look extra crisp. A great start to Gint-A-Cuffs, but how will the rest of the box be?

Alex Rodriguez just looks like he took a point from you, doesn't he? If I opened that pack and saw that stare I'd think "Yes Arod, you can take my point and my pride and my dignity with you, I hate you".
ReplyDeleteAnyone going to give the crack the code a shot that's in the battle? I'd be willing to make trades for those cards once I break my box next week.
Wow, a formidable start for my (one of many) opponent. If my boxes ever arrive hopefully I'll do even better ;)
ReplyDeleteGreat start Beardy. Im sorry to hear about your 2nd box ... hopefully Topps does something to compensate you and make things right. Ryan Braun auto should be pretty awesome ... although getting those redemption cards is kind of a bummer because it would have been cool to get that card right then and there. There seems to be a lot of redemption cards this year ...saw a Michael Phelps one on eBay. It's going to be on for the Gint-a-cuffs on Monday when the Sacbunt guys break open their boxes and give you guys a run for your money.
ReplyDeleteBeardy, you need to thank Ryan over at Card Cache for telling me about the contest and thus netting you 74 extra points on that Braun card. Now here's to hoping I pull a Markakis one so we can swap.
ReplyDeleteWow, you figured out a way to make a redemption card a good thing. How'd you do that?
ReplyDeleteMultipliers RULE!!! (coming from the guy who pulled two favorite player relics...)
ReplyDeleteI can't decide if AROD is pissed about Yankees being -1 point or getting swept by the Halos. Either way, I'm glad he's not happy.
