Yup, every day until I actually hear something from them. This could be like the NHL Lockout. No end in sight.

Any Interest? Product releases on June 29, 2009. I haven’t decided how it would be structured. Random Teams? Specific Teams for sale. (Dangerous because not every team is wanted). By the hit? There ae 36 hits in the case. Everyone would get an equal share of the minis and base cards.

Here is the Breakdown:
Approximate Release Date: 06/29/2009

A combination of any of the (3) following cards per Hobby Box:
* Autographed,
* Relic,
* Cut Signature,
* Rip,
* or Printing Plate
- One Hobby Exclusive N43 or Cabinet Card per box!
- One Hobby Exclusive Rip Card per case!

12 boxes per case, 24 packs per box. 8 cards per pack

Topps Allen & Ginter Baseball returns in 2009 with all new insert cards including Biggest Hoaxes, Hoodwinks, & Bamboozles, Cut Signature cards highlighting luminaries from centuries past, and popular DNA cards featuring Napoleon and Geronimo!

The Ginter Code also returns, more byzantine and enigmatic than before, challenging collectors to decipher a hidden code for a chance to win a special Ginter Code Winner Set of autographs from every framed autograph subject in 2009 Topps Allen & Ginter.

And as in years past, Allen & Ginter’s distinguished card design, modeled after the vintage Allen & Ginter cards from the late 1800′s, will continue to delight collectors.

Please post all trades here by 6pm April 29th.

So far I have:
1.

Videos will be up in an hour or two. THERE IS NO AUDIO. I videod the uncasing in one, mini boxes 1-8 in another, and 9-16 in the other. Its about an hour of video as it takes a long time to open all of these packs.

I will have the list of cards up tonight or tomorrow evening. Remember I will have to sort 480+ cards. There are 8 left over cards and I will random those off after I get them sorted.

The Uncasing.

Not a peep.

I often big on Topps Patch cards with a theme, All-star, Finals, Superbowl, etc.

Topps puts out All-Star Jersey cards in their Update and highlights set. I don’t know what the insertion rate is, but they seem to be plentiful. There are some color variations in the regular version, but again are not difficult to come buy.

Topps also produces the patch version. Usually Numbered to /10 or /25. The other day I came upon a CC Sabathia /10. These are very difficult pulls.

I won the thing for 3.25 plus 2.50 shipping. Not too shabby. I paid yesterday or the day before and then received a refund with the following note:

Name: Richie Schnyderite
Email: giants27rb@yahoo.com
Note from Seller: i am sorry my friend ripped the card on accident so it is in no condition to send or collect. Please dont be mad I am really sorry. He’s an asshole.

What a dick. What does he mean “ripped the card”? I am not sure what he means is “I didn’t get nearly as much as I wanted for this card and I am hoping this guy buys my lame ass story”

I responded:
Can you send me a pic of the damaged card? I may want it anyway.

Needless to say I haven’t received a response. I think peopel misunderstand Ebay. You put up an auction and the item sells for the ending price period. No game playing like shill bidding, canceling bids and ending the item just before it ends because you didnt get the price you want, or the shenanigans above.

So should I leave him negative feedback or no?
