Rip card Oliver Perez 81/99 (currently unripped)

Topps Magic football (really like this stuff)

Anthony Gonzalez black boarder mini
Donald Brown mini
Wayne/Winslow Alumni
Notable RCs: Sanchez, Stafford, Nicks
Jackie Robinson SP
Autos of Mathias Kiwanuka and Allen Patrick
Also the neat Antonio Gates basketball card

Also bought one pack of Icons with a 1 in 6 chance at a hit, of course I got pack number 6 (sans hit)!

Flip the rip...get a good portion of your $$ back.

trouts2 · 07-11-2009, 08:56 PM

I would rip. You can't go much worse than Oliver perez /99.

oldgoldy97 · 07-11-2009, 08:57 PM

Only spent about $70 as it was just loose packs, which seems to be en vogue around here lately!

ANY unripped rip card will sell for $50-ish. Sell, sell, sell.

AGreene23 · 07-11-2009, 09:19 PM

You should sell the Rip it. But if you do not let us know what you get

oldgoldy97 · 07-12-2009, 11:25 AM

No. In MN.

RedSox82696 · 07-12-2009, 12:09 PM

Rip it.

This might be your only rip card you may ever come in contact with it.

What do you have to lose? (Besides money?)

stumpfreeman · 07-12-2009, 12:15 PM

Where in MN? Been looking for a decent shop here.

STUMP

I have a Ben Gordon rip #/25 from Treasury. I'm keeping that one unripped.

There's one in Moundsview that I go to all the time right off Old Highway 10. Prices aren't as good as BO, but the owner is a good guy and he gets almost everything in. There is another one in Roseville off Hamline and County Road C. Not as good a selection. If there were more good ones out there, I wouldn't be on here as much

jlzinck · 07-12-2009, 06:50 PM

Flip it. I have a Jeff Francis ending in an hour.
Started it at 49.99 and have 1 bid and 4 watchers.

I'll have to check out the one in Moundsview. What's the name of the store?

It is called Tom Frantzens. It is by Little Caesars. He is a good guy remembers everything about all his customers.

oldgoldy97 · 07-12-2009, 09:34 PM

I take it you ^^^ go there, too? He should be having another pack wars in 2 weeks, whoever is on these boards that lives in the area should stop by.

I like 3 star in roseville a lot, you must have been there on an off day because they usually seem to have a really nice selection of new and popular stuff. Plus their prices aren't bad at all.

oldgoldy97 · 07-13-2009, 11:16 AM

That guy with the glasses at 3 Star is good at working with repeat customers, but there have been times I go in on the day stuff is getting released only to find they either 1) didn't order it or 2) have everything they ordered already spoken for. Frantzen's shop always has boxes of everything on hand.

mdh · 07-13-2009, 11:24 AM

I usually hit up 3 star, since I live in Hudson. But when I get the chance to go to Franztens, like for the pack wars, I definitely hit it up
