My first impression was the odd shape of the box. It looked more like a box of crackers than a box of baseball cards. Anyway, once I opened the first pack I loved the product. The cards look great and they're perfect for autographs. I'm a big TTM autograph collector so a lot of these will be going out in the mail.
Enough talk, here are the cards that I got:
Mini Baseball Icons (1)
Rogers Hornsby
Mini Black (3)
Marie Curie
Andrew "William Ocean" Litz
Greg Smith
Mini World Leaders (2)
Qaboos Bin Said Al-Said
Robert Fico
Regular Mini High # (1)
Bengie Molina
Mini A&G Back (17)
Mickey Mantle
16 others. Is it normal to get so many?
Relics
Matt Kemp
Carlos Marmol
World's Greatest Victories (1)
The American Revolution
Base SP's (12)
Notable Base Cards
Evan Longoria RC
Jay Bruce RC
I was thinking with a few packs left that I got some cool stuff but the box just didn't have enough bang for the buck. I really went into this hoping to get a Mini Bazooka Back. Much to my dismay, I did not end up with one. Instead, I got a Red Ink Autograph of Rampage Jackson numbered 6/10. I don't watch MMA but I've heard of Jackson. I know that this has to be a popular card but I really have no idea what the value is. One of the regular versions sold on eBay for $51 so this one has to be fairly valuable.
Bottom line: Topps has made a fan out of me. This is a really fun break. The relics looks great and I love the idea of all the mini parallels. I'll be purchasing another box in the future.
Sweet auto. Were you thinking about throwing yours up on eBay or is it a keeper? You're probably torn eh?
ReplyDeleteI think I'll put it on eBay. It's pretty cool but I'm just not a fan of MMA. It will also give me more cash which means more boxes to open.
