Way to go Topps.

Wow, this is plain terrible. 20youks triple threads box is somewhere between evil and volatile. In the words of Peter Griffen: "This really grinds my gears!". I...can't even....just WOW Topps, WOW.

Box Review

I just opened up the box and almost threw up. My garbage hits were an ugly Howie Kendrick auto /75, and an okay Tony Gwynn Mr Padre relic /18. I think my base cards were worth more than the hits.
Grades:

My Box: 0/10
absolute junk

Base Design: 8/10
nice looking base with cool parellels

Thrill Factor: 7/10
win big or loose big, too risky

Value: 3/10
unluss you come up big, you will end up like me

Poduct: 7/10

Future Box Review


Hey guy, I just wanted to let you know that I will be reviewing a hobby box of 2010 Topps Triple Threads Baseball tomorrow. I will post my hits as well as base cards, hopefully with pictures, when I break it. I also hope to post a review of the product as a whole, with a grade of my box.

Mystery Cut Mailday

Today I received my mystery cut, and I am very pleased with it. I ended up getting the 1/1 Jaimes Naismith. For those of you who are not familiar, he was the inventer of basketball. I will post a picture later, but for now, it is in the brag video at around 1 minute and 40 seconds..

Final Mystery Cuts Update

Mystery cuts were shipped today via FedEx with signature conformation. If you have a mystery cut, leave a comment of who you get. It was a long ride, but I am glad to receive my cut in the coming weeks. I will share when I get mine.

Magic Johnson Error Response

This is the best you can do, Pannini? Realy? You just made a major error in our favor, and I'll keep my Magic Johnson (If I ever get one), thank you very much! Whether this was a boozed and battered employee with no knowledge of basic autograph distribution, or someone who made an honest error, this is beyond insanity. Magic Johnson, let me repeat, MAGIC JOHNSON, an NBA HOFer, had his auto put on a card of a player with a name not even remotely similar to his: Jordan Swagerty. A BASEBALL PLAYER. I haven't seen a mistake this bad since the miley cyrus on derek jeter pandemic. Wow Pannini. Just...wow.

Cool Error Card






With the release of the new Donruss Elite Extra Edition, many of you have been pulling Jordan Swagerty auto's. Or have you? Actually you got a Magic Johnson (STAR BASKETBALL PLAYER) autograph. Donruss is talking about replacing error cards, however they have not officially released this. This is just another reason why they shouldn't use sticker auto's. Also Upper Deck plans to ship mystery cuts this week!

2010 Topps Football Rack Pack

Hey, everyone. Well, yesterday at Target, I was looking through the 2010 Topps Rack Packs (continuing my quest for a Rob Gronkowski RC), and realized there's always a rookie card on the back of each stack of cards that you could see. So, I searched until I found one that had a Gronkowski (Patriots rookie TE) RC, I bought it, and even got a CJ Spiller RC, a Dez Bryant RC, a Colt McCoy RC, and a Gridiron Giveaway card which I redeemed and unlocked a card from 1969 that I'll post later. Pretty sweet!
I'll probably post the scans later if I'm not feeling too lazy.

In other news, Beckett did a bust of 2010 Topps Chrome yesterday, and posted some pics, so check it out!

Keep Breakin'
