Top / bottom centering on 83 isn’t great but it’s definitley within PSA 10 parameters I think

Best Parallel was Trea Turner memorial day.

Also say that half of my packs had two inserts in them. Mostly the topps now set is at the pack of each pack as an "extra" hit.

The breakdown was 5 Blue, 4 Green, 1 Purple, 1 Gold with 2 autos. I was able to complete 4 complete sets with missing 5 from a fifth set.

Is there a checklist for the cards that come in the Silver Packs?

CalPolyIdiot · 01-31-2018, 11:44 AM

Getting 1 Hobby Case and 2 Jumbo Cases today and another Hobby Case on Monday. Hopefully I can create 3 Master Sets.

Glassmcr1981 · 01-31-2018, 11:45 AM

Argh...delivery was scheduled for 2 to 6 today...and of course they tried at 9AM. Hopefully I can track the package down today still and get it picked up!

You need to refine that search a bit. There's not really 10K listings. You are just picking up other crap that has "series 1" in the title. It's not all cards from this set.

Basically you have to enter a code for a player by 11:59 pm the night before a game. If player hits a HR in that game you get a parallel of that player. If player does not play you are out of luck.

Centauri3 · 01-31-2018, 12:26 PM

I am concerned about the quality control....like, how does Matt Kemp get included in the Superstar insert set? The guy has had a 0WAR for the last 5 years.

Are these bogus or were they given out at the recent topps party and he's trying to pass them off as series one?

I think these will be some decent hidden value. 1 per box it seems.

I believe they are legit. A quick scan of the sale sheet shows "SKETCH CARDS
Here's your chance to own a piece of original art on a 2.5 x 3.5 inch card. Numbered 1/1. HOBBY & HOBBY JUMBO ONLY"

Bassman2014 · 01-31-2018, 12:42 PM

My hobby case just arrived!

Now I have to get through another 7 hours of work with it sitting right next to me and then another 45 minutes for the commute home before I can tear into it.

vwnut13 · 01-31-2018, 12:46 PM

Parallels look terrible.

Is it that hard to just make the background a solid color?

OK just seemed weird he's the only one that has them, he has like 5 or 6.

That is really weird that the seller has that many and all of the best players. And there are not other hits listed from box or case breaks of the product.

I think the artists usually get to keep copies for themselves to sell. Since all of these are from the same artist, I assume either the seller IS that artist, or knows him personally. In other words, I can't imagine that these were ever inserted into packs.

zammos1 · 01-31-2018, 01:01 PM

2 hobby cases and 1 jumbo here. And of course I have to get through the work day and then take my daughter to basketball practice before I can get to them.

Did open 12 of the silver packs and came out with a Zack Granite blue #150 and a Paul deJong auto #/99.

drumrun · 01-31-2018, 01:08 PM

Is there a code for the sp and ssp?
