Hi Ho Silver,

Let's continoue with part 2.

Some cool base cards:

Alex Liddi RC - First italian born to debut in the MLB

This is a World Series 2011 Card, telling a little story about Pujols performance in game 3!

Likey!

My first thoughts about this one: "Woow this is a Dugout SP Variation card" 

-.- But nope .. it's the regular one 

Let's see what we've got next! Some inserts i think ....

Curtis Granderson 

Mini 

... has the look of 1987 Topps! Don't like it so much 

The Timeless Talent Section

Chase Utley is one of my favorite players. Reason I like this one ..

Close to the End! An Golden Great of Nolan Ryan ... "Like" :)

And the best comes last:

This is such a nice card.

A "Gold Standard" of Andre Dawson. The gold emblem is realy beautiful!

As you see, NO hit! :( 

A little disapointing but *keep smiling* :)

So stay tuned for more!

2012 Topps Series 1 - MY first look :) Part 1/2

Hi Baseballcard Community.

It's april and I write my first post this year. It's my late first look at Topps series one.

I bought some packs over ebay an paid 16 dollar for the packs and 12 for shipping ^^

That's the sad reason for not buying packs or boxes every week.

2012 Topps Series 1 - Hobby Pack

2012 Topps Series 1 Baseball

Release Date: February 1, 2012

Retail Release Date: January 28, 2012

36 Packs Per Hobby Box

1 Autograph or Relic Per Hobby Box

1 Autograph & 2 Relics Per Jumbo Box

But let's start with part one. There wasn't a special hit but it's ok cause i'm just excited for the product.

First some base cards that you can imagine how they look like....

Jarrod Saltalamacchia Front

Jarrod Saltalamacchia Back

I think the base card design is good. A little more modern then 2011 but cool!

Some more:

Chipper Jones

Mike Napoli

Curtis Granderson

I pulled 2 Gold Paralells or Variations ... could you tell me where the difference is??

Tyler Chatwood Gold Variation / Paralell

Koji Uehara Gold Variation / Paralell 

(Really ... where's the difference ?)

Ok, bad luck with the the players. I WANT Ichiro :-O

Everytime I pull a card of Lou Gehrig I have to smile :) ... I really like this man.

We continoue with a Golden Greats card

GG-4

I want the Relic :-D haha

Another new section is " Golden Futures" 

I pulled a Freddie Freeman. If this guy is the future of Baseball ... The future sucks ^^

I don't like this guy.

Freddie Freeman Golden Futures GF-4

Let's do it quick now. We have 2 more cards ... First there is " Golden Moments " 

Frank Thomas - Golden Moments GM-35

Next: Classic Walk-Offs

Derek Jeter - Classic Walk-Offs CW-15

And as you know from the last years there are some stories on the back.

Finally the Give Away cards:

There is a code on the back of every card!

I don't know if Topps ships the unlocked cards to germany this year but i think they won't. -.-

If there is a guy I can send my cards to please comment or contact me.

Thanks for reading and stay tuned for part 2 ... If you want some scans of the backs ... tweet/contact!

2011 Topps Chrome - Hobby Packs

Heeeey fellas, 2 weeks ago I ordered 5 hobby packs of 2011 Topps Chrome.
They arrived 2 days ago. Now thats my first year of collecting and I knew topps chrome only by scans.

In real it's a lot better. It looks fantastic but I bet you know this ...

Let's see :

When you look at the scans the glance on the cards is hard to imagine.

Mark Trumbo Rookie Card:

Following two are Chrome Refractors (1:3 Hobby) not numbered

Roy Halladay

Joe Nathan

I think Topps does a bad job by selling the same photo

over and over and OVER ... I got all these from the normal 2011 Topps S. 1 or 2

At least I pulled this Domonic Brown Vintage Chrome 

It's the 1996 Topps Chrome style. There are 50 different and the odds are 1:8 for hobby

Front 

Back

So I wasn't very lucky at all again. I don't know if these packs were searched

but there was nothing cool in it.

Thanks for reading

Another Ichiro Rookie Card

Good morning baseball card collectors.

A few days ago I received my 2001 Bowman Ichiro RC and the seller wrote in the discription that this card is a short print. 

I paid 7$ for the auction and 3$ shipping to germany. That's ok I think. The card is listed for 9,99$ 

My question is why it should be a SP ?? It's #84 in the set. 

Here we go with the scans ....

2011 Topps Lineage Value packs

Good morning baseball card fans ... I ordered some Topps Lineage value packs and breaked them today. Let's see what we got:

There are some nice classic players like Lou Gehrig, George Sisler and Jimmie Foxx 

Click to enlarge

Again I got luck to get the sets Ichiro card ..

A very nice card again ... 

As a Mets fan I'm very happy to get this diamond variation 

Johan Santana Diamond Variation

A mini of Eddie Murray ...

Best pulls at the end .. 

A Carlos Gonzales mini jersey and a awesome Chipper Jones mini jersey (but away jersey, didn't like that)

Finally I have to say that Lineage is a fine product with a lot of different cards. Present players and many from the past. A lot of inserts too ... but the price is way to high .. 

thanks for reading

Hot Pack - 2011 Topps Series 2

Good morning card collectors. 

I bought a Jumbo hot pack on eBay. Nearly 3 months ago. 

And it finally arrived saturday. That's really hard. 

I'm satisfied with the hit ... (Jumbo Packs; 36 cards - with relic 34 cards)

Starlin Castro - Jersey Card

I'm not a Cubs or Communist fan but I really like this card.

Other cards in the pack:

A Hank Aaron / Jason Heyward - Diamond Duo Card

Evan Longoria 60 Years of Topps and a 1995 Frank Thomas reprint (no original back)

4 Hobby Packs - 2011 Topps Series 2

Hallo card collectors,

i'm a little pissed off right now. I had 4 packs left over to break today.

First of all. One pack was completely damaged. Fortunately I owned 90% of the cards before.
The only card I'm a little angry about is a 60YOT-105 - Tony Gwynn (60 Years of Topps).
I don't know if it was an mistake by Topps or Dacardworld ... What ever! 


Second thing is my baaad luck on this order. I had not hit in all 11 packs (8 hobby, 3 retail) expect the Buster Posey RC.


Best of my 3 packs : 

A Roy Halladay "Diamond Stars" Insert and a Tim Collins "Diamond Anniversary" Variation Rookie card ...

J.A. Happ Gold Parallel (# to 2011)

And the last one : A Diamond Duo card - Carl Crawford/Jacoby Ellsbury

Thanks for reading ...

4 Hobby Packs - 2011 Allen & Ginter's

A sad huhu from me here in germany. I opened 4 hobby packs of 2011 Allen Ginter and what I pulled was only crap. One card I cannot believe. Ok let's start.

2 Parallel cards: A Derek Lowe Black Corner SP  and a Brett Anderson Mini - Black bordered

btw. I have NO pricing for any Allen Ginter card yet. AG pricings are not included in the newest Beckett Baseball magazine. And eBay is too much work.

A funny Gecko card :)

I like these inserts. 

Hometown Heroes - Josh Hamilton

A CC Sabathia "Baseball Highlight Sketches" Card ... nice !

And the last scan for today:

The most crappy, shitty and fucked up card on the whole product ...

A 2011 Allen Ginter "Son of a bitch" 

Who the HELL is this ugly hairless guy ??? oO

The card says he is a a champion in "Bean Bag Toss" 

Haha bean bag toss omg LOOOSER! 

Thank you Topps for Matt Gay! 

Next year there will be a card with the olympic curling team ... OMG

Allen Ginter is not my product. There are sooo many insert cards ... And I pull 

only shit. No Auto or Relic ... nothing ... not even a numbered parallel.

BONUS: SP variation of the "Son of a bitch" card ... 

LOL!
