Cool. Looks like after they send that my way, should be a very solid case.

Of course pulling the last autograph Stan Musial ever signed in ginter (10/10) was cool too.

Hoping to make some memories this year too.

I remember when they had the US state relic box toppers, a bunch were pulled and sold by my LCS owner and the same buyer was a guy in Russia!

The framed silk mini's look distinct and very nice. Good improvement. The Hottest Pepper mini's are my favorite obscure mini in years.

My favorite were the haunted houses....

If you slow down and read the ginter cards it is actually pretty interesting stuff.

Still wish they would do the ginter code for dummies...

Make it easier so everyone can play.... give away multiple prizes besides 1...

Well I was the only one to post that in this thread so what else am I supposed to think? And its not like its the first time you indirectly replied to something I had said, so let's not act like every time is a coincidence lol

Believe me, I have thicker skin than you'll ever know. I just happen to not like you and there's maybe 2 other people on the planet who I don't like so that's saying alot. I don't know if you are my kryptonite or just actually really unlikable in general but I'll try to ignore you when you sign in tomorrow at 2pm to do your weekly "race to the bottom" commentary on Ginter. No hard feelings.

Yeah that's a very nice case. I love Ginter so much but had to skip it the last 2 years because it just really became too weak to open anymore. But I dipped my toe in one case this year so hopefully I'll get a good one tomorrow too.

i mentioned it also... i heard multiple other places also...
was not meaning to call you out.. actually more relived it was low run

I actually appreciate the early info if you have it.... And you were correct on info you recieved..

Brent did not show up which is kind of odd.. but he is a busy guy....

2011 was bleak year for ginter, but the state box toppers were a big hit. There were many ssp relics in that 2011 set that most people don't know about.

I understand completely. And I guarantee all that chatter was because we all saw the same odds. My fault completely for not looking as far as the wood and metal minis to get a more accurate estimate, but it was clear that a good number of items were way up in odds and since everyone at the top had them in June, it doesn't surprise me if there was talk outside of this forum. I'm not trying to spoil anyone's fun. I love Ginter as much as many of you and I will be thrilled if my case is loaded tomorrow.

Yup. Overall pretty pleased. Was nice to stop back in for a minute. I think I'm off till Draft.

If any of you guys need mini's or hot box parallels (which were much nicer this year), mine are available if you are paying fair prices. I won't be ripping another so no mini master for me.

Going to be keeping an eye out for these. You know people who don't do research will list them for $19.99 OBO

Somebody already sold a Walker Buehler auto for $8. Killing me. I'd buy 20 at that price.

Heck yeah, plus some of the mini sets are retail only. Also, way back in the early days of Ginter someone got a Napoleon Bonaparte hair relic from retail and sold it for several thousand....

Some people just have an aversion to money.
