Topps Community Break Box #4: 2000 Topps Gold Label

Moving right along. Only 2 more boxes before we hit the new millennium. Similar to Topps Stars, Gold Label is something that stayed on the schedule for quite a few years before getting shelved. The main theme of the product is that there are different “Class”es of cards. Depending on the year of release, these […]

Topps Community Break Box #3: 1999 Topps Stars

If yesterday was bread and water, then today is the salad?

Okay, I could probably force my way through this analogy over the next 9 boxes but no one wants to see that and I don’t want to write it.

Instead, I’ll just say that next up is a product line that lasted much longer […]

Topps Community Break Box #1 & 2: 1996 Topps Laser Series 1 & 2

Finally! It’s 3am. I stayed up late to make a little progress on everything, so let’s kick this sucker off right!

My hope is to get a box up each day, but don’t hold me to that. I should be able to come pretty close to that, however.

To lead the way is a double […]

A Couple Things You Might Like to Know…And Two Videos

So, in all of the Kobe heart-pounding excitement, I forgot to tell all of you that we finally got around to posting that Crown Royale Triple Patch card on ebay as well. Unfortunately the market has dropped out some for this card, but hopefully we can get a nice little playoff rally going and get […]

Community Break Box #7: 2005 Fleer Showcase

Well, I’m said to say we’ve come to the end of the line of this Community Break. I hope everyone out there had as good a time watching as I did opening. But before we wrap this thing up officially, I have one more box to “showcase.” 2005 Fleer Showcase, that is.

How’d we […]

Community Break Box #6: 2004 Fleer Classic Clippings

Woo. Back. Thanks for being patient and for the well-wishes, everybody. I’ll have the hockey contest winners up tomorrow. Still coughing a bit too much for my tastes, and I’d like to be able to talk as I webcam the randomization without making you all sick. So….here’s a pre-recorded box of cards where you don’t […]

Community Break Box #5: 2003 Fleer Splendid Splinters

I’m sure the masses are hungry for more box busting action. I’m sorry about the delay. I had a couple wedding and other personal things to tend to which kept me out of the apartment these past couple days. When I last left you, we had just opened one of our 2003 boxes. Now it’s […]
