2010 Topps Series 2 Video Box Break

Everybody loves box breaks! Everybody loves the Topps base set! Everybody loves us! Nobody loves miscut cards….

We opened 2, count ’em, 2, boxes of Topps Series 2 Jumbo. What can we say, we got suckered into the hat patch craze.

We walked in with virtually no expectations, and came away a little hurt, a […]

Team Sets and A Lesson on Photoshop

Not too long ago, I picked up the Cubs team set at Target. The only real reason I bought it was to obtain these two fellers for my player collections:

Different Card Numbers and nothing else = Must have!

Sure, they look like 2010 Series 1 base cards (non-Lincoln, of course). They feel […]

Million Card Meltdown

Okay. The one code a day thing came to an end. It pretty much had to. We got a tip from Play at the Plate that the Topps site wasn’t random and was spitting out 1960s and 70s cards like nobody’s business.

I must admit, I was skeptical. I thought that “recently unlocked” list was […]

More Million Card Madness

Man I wish “card” started with an “M” so I could get the full alliteration going.

So, are you guys sick of the one-code a day thing yet? Andy and I just picked up another 6 codes in our packs today and are considering just going hog-wild on the website. What do you all think?

Olympic Pack Break and More Million Goodness

I’m covering two topics in this post today. The short one (Topps Million) will be first for those who want to cut and run early.

The “Goodness” mentioned in the title is a relative term. Let’s see what my 2006 Topps Heritage style Mickey Mantle code card gets me.

Let's all take knee, […]

Topps Million Madness Pt. 3

Before I start, can I just say that Germany is really pulling it’s weight in the Olympics for us. Current medal leader? I’ll take it! Of course all this trash talking is probably going to mean we won’t win a thing from JD’s contest.

Another day, another code to enter. I’d try to build the […]

Car!…..Game On! Game On!

Oh yes, my fake-named internet friends. It is on.

If you haven’t been following the contest over at JD’s Wild Cardz, you were probably either A) out of town like we were or B) one of the 2 bloggers who didn’t get a team.

We lucked out and snagged a little country named Germany. Maybe […]

2010 Topps Retail Breakdown

After busting a handful of Topps in all forms to scratch the old wax itch, I decided to compile a little data to give myself the best idea of what to expect from the different retail configurations. So we grabbed a couple of each and did a little breakdown:

4 – Target exclusive single 12 […]

Andy’s early take on 2010 Topps (with blaster break and images!)

So I’m seeing the early results of this year’s Topps breaks and, like most people, I have mixed feelings. The last time I bought a pack of Topps, it was like 1996 or 1997 and they had these ridiculous inserts of some guy’s Etch-A-Sketch drawings. That’s when I realized that the insert craze (which had […]
