I guess I'm lucky; my package has been moving daily to a different state.

Topps has been very kind to me lately. Pulled a red Wander auto on my first Brooklyn box and a Miguel Cabrera /5 auto from my first Ginter X box. Not much point in ripping anymore when you know it’s all down hill from here.

Wow, beautiful card.

Sweet card!! I know someone said the purple and padparadscha look the same, but to me the reds and padparadscha look the same in pictures. I thought that was a 1/1.

Of course none of us wants to pay through the nose for baseball cards, but at the same time, they aren't a necessity and if people are too lazy to shop around on collectibles, that's on them.

Well said. I love how everyone has a problem with Phil making money. If any of the complainers could get away it and make a ton of cash they’d do it in a heartbeat. Jealousy’s real ugly

Agree, those are much more difficult for me to differentiate on a monitor.

Though in this case, the 1/1 auto would have been a superfractor, so that was a bit of a hint.

Opened two boxes.

Shorted a color but got a julio us44, two kwan rc. Green Taylor Rodgers and Luis torrens. Gold Pressley.

People are jealous maybe of the guy from the stock market thread making 100k a day from TSLA puts. Jealous of breakers? Are you serious?

To be honest I think all three look similar in pics!

My three boxes just arrived from FedEx and decided to rip them all.

::crickets:: Two boxes had the same collation, Pena RD x2 and Alex Thomas RD x2... Hunter Greene & Arias base (both L-R OC). Color Green no name x3, Gold no name x2, Purple 10/10 Tony Gonsolin.

I was going to just flip these to pay for some grading fees, but seeing the high number of rips and results had me feeling a bit more optimistic.

[notfast]

These were claimed. Thanks

Truth lol oh and I hit his base lol, so just green, orange, purple and a 1/1, might be able to do it cheap lol

[zworykin]

I'm not saying I said everyone was wrong in predicting the big guys wouldn't have orange autos, but... I didn't NOT say that... lol.


Congrats to your friend. Amazing hit. Orange looks so good on these cards.

Man, that's a monster. I'd love to hit a card like that.

If you can land the 1/1 for cheap, might as well pursue the rest.

Conversely, if you know someone who hits the 1/1 and wants to pursue the rainbow, you can move your cards to them too haha.

So my first 8 boxes weren’t great on color, but my buddy was kind enough to sell me his 2 at essentially market rate ($200 cash, each) and hit this Pena Debut #/5 and Melendez #/75:
