A useless 1/1 of a local guy

that I wouldn’t pay $10 for.

When it comes to cards like these why are they even produced? Especially in a high end product. I would rather they just cut the price of the box $5. I know of no one that would miss the extra card.

Why Razor, Why?

A Masterpieces Anomaly

The are all supposed to be Dark Blue /150. I noticed that some of these are the same frame as the /50 light blue versions, yet they are /150. Interesting.

5 cases of exquisite football

I know that a lot of you read the Blowout forums but some of you don’t. Here is a 5 case break.

Note the comments. What the hell are people expecting? I didn’t think the break was that bad. The collation sucked but that Harvin rare materials is nice. Thoughts? Break that bad?

False advertising not at its finest.

Check out this auction.

In the auction the guy states:
This auction is for an RYAN HOWARD 2008 UPPER DECK MASTERPIECES BASEBALL RED-FRAMED SP #71!!!! CARD IS NOT SERIAL NUMBERED, HOWEVER THEY APPEAR SLIGHTLY LESS THAN THE GREEN BORDERED SP’S NUMBERED TO /75, SO IT WOULD BE SAFE TO SAY THESE HAVE A PRINT LOT OF /100!!! CARD IS IN MINT CONDITION!!!

I wrote to him:
These appear 1 per box and are not as rare as the brown /100. The browns are 5 per case, the blue /125 are about 7 per case. These are not even close to as rare as the greens /75.

Of course I know nothing of Masterpieces Baseball.

Here is my issue with the Smith. This is a beauty of a card, but the sticker…Come on Panini. Can’t you do the major hits on card?

Yeah, because outbidding someone by a $1

with 3 days to go really means you are going to win it.

Don’t these people know they are just unnecessarily bidding this thing up?

Everytime I start to think collectors are smart, I see auctions like this and it blows my mind that someone would keep bidding over and over and over again. One bid, at the end, will do ya.

Anyway, I as of today have 136 2008 Masterpieces /50 Red Framed Patches in hand and added this, this and these to the stable.
