Merry Card-mas!
Twas the night before Cardmas, when all through the house
Not a cllector was stirring, not even Chris Olds.
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that a big hit soon would be there.
The collectors were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of mojo hits danced in their heads.
And 20youk in his Red Sox jersey, and I in my Red Sox cap,
Had just prepared ourselves for a big box break.
When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.
Away to the window I flew like Carl Crawford,
Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.
The moon on the front of my new chrome cards
Gave the lustre of a rainbow to the cards below.
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But a 1/1 Press plate, and eight relics and autos here.
With an awesome big pull, so pricy and slick,
I knew in a moment it must be the mojo.
More sick than a patch card, the hits they came,
And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name!
"Now Mojo! now, Big Pull! now, auto and patch!
On, refractor! On, relic! on, on press and high end hit!
To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall!
Now rip away! rip away! rip away all!"
As hands that before the wild hurricane fly in celebration in the air,
When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky.
So up to the house-top the coursers they flew,
With the sleigh full of card, and of course mojo too.
And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof
The sound of the mojo and all of the hits.
As I drew in my head, and was turning around,
Down the chimney the mojo came with a bound.
It was slick and sweet from its head to its foot,
And its cards were all pristine without with ashes and soot.
A bundle of cards he had flung on his back,
And he looked like a collector, just opening his pack.
He spoke not a word, but went straight to its work,
And filled all the boxes with mojo, then turned with a jerk.
And laying his finger aside of its packs,
And giving a nod, up the chimney it rose!
It sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,
And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.
But I heard it exclaim, ‘ere it drove out of sight,
"Happy Cardmas to all, and to all a good-night!

Red Sox SP's in 2011 Topps Series 1
Topps just released that they will be putting cards of Carl Crawford and Adrian Gonzalez in 2011 Topps in a Red Sox uniform. These cards are short prints, so they will be harder to find, but a must have for Red Sox collectors. Also, later this week, I will have box reviews of 2010 Topps Chrome Baseball, and 2009 SP Legendary Cuts Baseball.

Buyers Beware
Hey guys. I would just like to warn you about all of the fake cards on the internet. You really need to be carefull, especially around this time of year. You also need to know that there are some fakes that have been encapsulated as authentic by grading companies, however these cases are fake as well. Here is an example.
Here are some tips to spotting fakes based on the example that can apply to other cards.
1. As you can see, there is a penny sleve inside of the case.
2. The autograph window is not cut strait.
3. There is no COA on the back.
4. There is no serial number.
5. This card is not on the checklist.
5. There were no mini cut auto's in this product.
6. Half of the autograph is missing.
7. It does not look like other cut auto's in this product.
So beware and don't be tricked.

Adrian Gonzalez a Red Sox
The Red Sox have almost completed the deal for Adrian Gonzalez. Althogh no majors league players will be traded, the Red Sox will likely let go of top pitching prospect Casey Kelly, and they also might include Ryan Kalish or Anthony Rizzo, but that information has not been released yet. Gonzalez just needs to pass the physical to complete the deal. With Gonzalez on the team, Kevin Youkilis will likely move back to third and we will not resign Beltre, or Kevin Youkilis could move to left feild. When the deal goes through, I think the Sox will Have a real shot at the world series!
