It's been way too long...Secret Santa Prize from Card Corner Club Radio


     My last blog was on December 17, 2010 which is too long in between blog especially when I have busted a few blaster of Bowman DP&P, 8 Bowman DP&P retail rack packs ( 2 autos in 8 packs, not sure if that is normal)**, and a couple blaster Bowman Platinum. I will get around to posting my the autos I pulled and other cards of note.  The GED class I teach starts back today after a little ice/snow, Christmas Break, another 10' of snow, and yesterday of Dr. King's Birthday.  I have been out of work for one month to the day. You'd think I would have gotten something accomplished with all that free time on my hands.  It did not happen; although I have gotten a surprising amount done today.
     My blog today is about a great internet radio show.  Card Corner-Club is a website that provides forums, product reviews (sport and non-sport), video box breaks on YouTube, and Card Corner-Club Radio. They can also be followed on Twitter and "Like" on Facebook. The radio is great way to find out information about up coming products that are going to hit the market, discussions on the market,  special guest from the card companies (Chris from Upper Deck was last weeks guest and they have had spokes person from Leaf and Panini).  They give away cards to very caller.  The Card Corner-Club Radio show airs Friday nights at 11pm Eastern/ 10pm Central.  The show runs for one hour and the hour flies by.  They did mention maybe the chance of add time to the show which would be great.  Another guest they have just about every week is Dimitri Young, who is an avid collector himself.  Hearing a former major leaguer talk about his approached to collecting very interesting. Young's approach and views on collecting graded cards really changed my opinion on about buy graded cards and having my cards graded. He started small and it grew.  I made my first purchase of a 2001 Topps Traded Albert Pujols PSA graded 8.  I got a good buy I on it at $40, it was my birthday, and it was my first graded purchase.  Young said he started small and that is about all he collects now is graded.  The tip he gave on the show was not put purchase new cards graded lower than an eight.  My next few purchases graded were 2001 Upper Deck Pros and Prospects Brett Farve BGS 9 ($3), 2000 Multi-AD Midwest League Top Prospects Josh Beckett BGS 9.5 ($10), 1989 Topps Traded Troy Aikman BGS ($7), 1998 Stadium Club Prime Rookies Randy Moss PSA 9 ($10), and 1998 Stadium Club Prime Rookies PSA 9 ($12).  I have provided a link to their main website, social networking pages, and to their Internet radio show.

     I had the chance to call in on their December 17th show.  The host were running a Secret Santa type game to add a little little bit to the show.  I was the first caller, so I got to take part in the game.  They offered me a list of cards to take or take what was behind door number two.  The three cards cards that offer up from were three Gridiron Gear: Gridiron Gems Giant autograph swatch of Marcus Easly, Gridiron Gear Dual Prime Patch and Football Armanit Edwards, and a Crash Course of LaSean McCoy/Brian Orakpo.  I had done a box break of Unrivaled and Platium earlier in the week and I had pulled a Armanti Edwards patch autographs from both boxes. Here is a sample of the Armanti Ewards I pulled from the box breaks:



Armanti Edwards 777/800


Armanti Edwards 41/50









I was not looking to get another Edwards memorabilia cards, So, I took what was behind door number 2 and I could have been happier.  Below are the scans of I got for taking what was under the box and I was quit pleased.


6 Bowman Rookie Cards

1. Philip Rivers
    2. Michael Turner
     3. Steven Jackson 
    4. Jonathan Vilma

So, guy if you get a chance please check out Card Corner-Club Radio and their website.  Tons of information and they are more than happen to hook up their listeners.  I can not fluffy them anymore.  Card Corner-Club is a great site and radio show.  Recap of the links below:

My 2010 Bowman Draft Picks and Prospects

I really thought about getting on here and giving a review of the '10 Bowman DP&P; however, I think there are plenty other blogs out there that you can found out about the mis-cuts and rough edges.  It seems to me that the Chrome Curl that plagued the other chrome product has been fixed.  This set is just what it is a prospecting set.  I like the variety of USA Team cards, Bowman First Cards, and rookie cards.  I got a total of 19 different USA Team cards and 28 1st round picks.  Not pictured below are the two Posey, two Heyward, and one Strasburg which I pulled from the packs.  Also not pictured below is Bryce Harper.  What I have added below are a few of the USA Team cards, some of the 1st round picks, refractors and my ONE hit per box.  It is a prospect set and this time of year makes it hard to get up for a set of unknowns unless you do a little research.  All and All I am pleased with the names I pulled.  What I am a little short on is my ONE hit.  I hope everyone else has more fun than I did with their Hobby, Retail, and Blasters.   How long is it until pitchers and catchers report?


2 of 19 USA Team cards




























Blue Refractor and Light Blue Parallel

2010 1st Round Picks

(Nine other 1st Round picks I haven't seen posted elsewhere)


















As you can see some of the cards have the over lay autos and some don't.  I think I'd prefer without if not real.














The only two regular refractors pulled from the hobby box








And Lastly my ONE hit


that I have to wait on if I redeem it





























Which probably looks something like this








Good luck with whatever you are ripping through during the holiday season.  Remember this:

"My name's D.M.C. with the mic in my hand
And I'm chilling and coolin just like a snowman
So open your eyes, lend us an ear
We want to say
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!"

2nd Annual BASEBALL BLOGGERS SECRET SANTA over at A Rookie (baseball) Card Collector

Over at A Rookie (baseball) Card Collector blog they will be having their 2nd Annual Baseball Blogger Secret Santa! 

You can click the link and follow the direction to participate.  I really thing his is a great idea, it can do a lot for our community in these tough economic times, and give opportunity to meet other collectors.  Click on the link above to and follow the directions if you would like to participate.  The deadline is Sunday December, 5th.  I am going to copy and paste what the blog says under this paragraph, but please go give it a look if you are interested.


2nd Annual Baseball Blogger Secret Santa!

That's right folks, it is time to begin the baseball blogger secret Santa. Or the sign ups anyway. Later than I expected as I got busy trying to write a Novel for Nano.

If you remember last year, or those that participated, you where matched with a fellow blogger through Elfster and then you bought a baseball related gift and sent it to them.

Well, nothing has changed.

IT IS TIME FOR.....
THE 2nd ANNUAL BASEBALL BLOGGERS SECRET SANTA!

There are a few other things I need you to do if you wish to participate.
First go to HERE (Elftser) and sign up.
I then need you to e-mail me your mailing address, the e-mail you signed up with for the secret Santa for Elfster, as well as a link to your blog or website.
It would also be great if you posted here saying that you have joined.
As to why I am asking for your address, it is because you would end up having to ask the person when you mail the gift, thus ruining the SECRET part. I promise not to share with anyone but the person who gets your name.
When you get your person, you will need e-mail me their e-mail/name and I will give you the address. (this will take placer later)
As you can see a lot of steps involved. Mainly for me, but I have no life so it should be well. I don't see an easier way. If you do let me know. Again, I WANT to do this.

Here is what I need you to do now
STEP 1:sign up for Elftser

STEP 2: Send me an e-mail with your
E-MAIL ADDRESS (the one you will use for the secret santa)
MAILING ADDRESS
BLOG/website
USERNAME/ ( or the name you tend to use on blog)

STEP 3: POST HERE THAT YOU HAVE JOINED
This will stay open untill names have been drawn on December 5th. That should be enough time for folks to sign up. Please be sure to tell fellow bloggers as I'd like everyone that wanted to; to participate
If you have any questions please let me know.

REMINDERS!
Please don't sign up if you don't think you are going to commit to buying and shipping a gift. It isn't going to be fun for the person you have to get jiffed
The gift should be under 20 dollars and that includes shipping.
No wish list. Do some sluthing. Check their blog out. I am not saying you can't get them something off their wish list if they had it up on their blog, just don't create up for the sake of SS.

I just think this will be great fun for all.

Thanks

PAW's Dugout SportsCards!: The Thanksgiving Day Give Away (Around the games t...: "**Why don't I post today games with spreads and over and under. Today Indy at Detroit, New Orleans at Dallas, and Cinny at New York Jets. ..."

The Thanksgiving Day Give Away (Around the games today)

**Why don't I post today games with spreads and over and under.  Today Indy at Detroit,  New Orleans at Dallas, and Cinny at New York Jets. Everyone will  pick against the spread, the OVER/UNDER, and the tie break would be total points scored by all 8 teams without going over like Price's Right. You can get in after the first game starts, but once the game starts you can't pick it.  You get in late you will just be down a game, but that's nothing you can't over come. And what I will be giving away will be at the bottom.

**Here are the games: View my next post to see what I'm looking for, I'd say most of you know for what           I'm looking.

New England Patriots               50.5 O/U             Detroit Lions

New Orleans Saints    -4.5              50.5 O/U             Dallas Cowboys +4.5

Cincinnati Bengals  +9                      44 O/U                New York Jets -9

I will give you an example of what I am looking for and please follow the format.  My entry will not count.  Below are scans of 5 autograph cards I've decided to give away today.

**


**The cards in the giveaway are 5 autograph cards, so if you are into the autos, this contest is for you.

  • 2006 Topps Chrome Reggie McNeal    (Autograph)  #242
  • 2006 Upper Deck Charlie Whitehurst  (Rookie Premiere Signature) #AC-24
  • 2007 Bowman Drew Tate (Signs of the Future) #SF-DT
  • 2006 Upper Deck (Rookie Debut)  #232
  • 2009 PressPass James Davis (PressPass Signing) PPS-JD  #'d 040/150

___________________________________________________________________________________


Here's how you should do your picks for the cards

  1. Detroit Lions                   O 50.5
  2. New Orleans Saints    -4.5     U 50.5
  3. Cincinnati Bengals        +9      U 44
  4. Total for the 3 games      127 total points

That's all you have to do.  pick the winner against the spread, the over/under, and the tie-breaker in case is the total points.  The poster with the most correct wins.  If two posters just so happen to have the same answers even on the tie breaker, the price will be split.  The first poster will get 3 cards and the 2 poster will get two.   It being Thanksgiving the sun could shine on multiple dog rear ends today and if that happens, I will figure something out.

Get your picks in, the 1st game starts in 1 hour.  Sorry about the short noticed.

Thanks

Getting Some Strange!

     I had the chance to visit a different Wal-Mart (store #1458) this weekend and purchase retail which my local Wal-Mart (store #2988) has yet to provide.  I was asked to work in the pit side concession stand at Brainerd Optimus Drag Strip on Saturday November 20th.  It was the annual Draggin' for Toys.  Draggin' For Toys is a charity race.  The monetary proceeds will be given to T.C. Thompson’s Children's Hospital and the toys will be given to Providence Ministries to be given to children on Christmas day who may otherwise not have a Christmas.
    Working in the concession stand provided me a chance to make a few extra bucks.  I have been itching to buy something for the past two weeks.  I decided to treat myself to some cards.  I didn't want to blow everything I made at the track, so I just stopped at Wal-Mart (store #1458) by the strip after work.  The aisle number is 23 and is double the size of the aisle at my hometown Wal-Mart.  The aisle was well stocked and had product I had not seen at a retailer as of yet.  I first noticed Bowman Chrome baster boxes and Topps Update racks and blasters.  After some browsing the shelf and making it to the bottom, I found a retail box of '10 Bowman Chrome and '10 Topps Update Series.  The price on both were $71.99 which are a tad bit over-priced considering the price of hobby boxes.  Bowman Chrome Hobby is $42 and Topps Update is $35 this week at Blowoutcards.com.
      I decided I would purchase a rack pack of Topps Update and a blaster of Bowman Chrome.  I scanned the highlights in the Update pack and scan the whole blaster box.  I made three scans for the Update series.  I scanned the notable rookies, All-Star Cards, and inserts.

2010 Topps Update Series Rack Pack 

Rookies



Daniel Nava, Ike Davis, and Jeanmar Gomez 50th Anniversary 1600/2010

All-Stars


Joe Mauer, Chris "1 Homer" Young (HR Derby), and Brian McCann (All-Star MVP)

Inserts


Austin Jackson (Peak Performance), Rogers Hornsby (Topps Turkey), & Chipper Jones (CMTO)

It is hard to judge a set from one rack pack, so I looked over the checklist I could find.  The set has some interesting cards in it.  There are several seek-able rookies.  There are two Stephan Strasburgs.  One is the one from the Factory sets numbered 661 and the other is a Rookie Debut card which is another part of the set that has all the great rookies from this past season like Posey, Heyward, Leake, and many more.  One question about the Strasburg 661 card which was brought up on a different blog is that "are the #661 cards in the Update Series different from the Factory Set?"  I have yet to find out.  I am sure it is something that will be answered before long.

2010 Bowman Chrome Blaster

I bought the blaster not knowing really anything about them.  I got home and started ripping through packs.  The first thing I noticed as three cards.  I didn't read the box before buying it, but the three cards would not have stopped me from buying it; however, three cards seems to be on the short end of the stick.  I went to look at the hobby boxes and they only come with fours per pack.  They could put a couple more cards in both to help improve the value of the boxes.  Another thing I noticed was the texture and the lack of gloss on some of the cards.  I have a friend that's into photography.  I asked her to feel and look at the two different cards. She said that the ones without gloss looked to be printed on a basic mat material and the glossy on the glossy mat material which causes the different textures.  She said it was probably a company error.  I was like you don't say.  Anyway, below are scans of the entire blaster box.

Pack #1



Pack #2

 
Brennan Boescoh RC


Pack #3




Pack #4


 New Brave Dan Uggla refractor and Andy Oliver RC

Pack #5


1st of two USA team cards. John Simms

Pack #6



Pack #7

Anderson Hildalgo Purple Refractor 100/899


Pack #8

Henry Owens USA team cards


Comments are welcome.

I hope everyone has a wonderfulThanksgiving and a great time with family and friends.  Be safe you you get out for Black Friday sales.  I would also like to let everyone know about the Blowoutcards.com Black Friday sale.  The sale will be held in their forum from 7am to 4pm the Friday after Thanksgiving.  I didn't know about the one last year but I have read about it.  They will be having sales throughout the day on many items.  They will list items in a thread when they go on sale.  You will be able to find out about giveaways they are offering in the same thread.  Below are links to the main page and to the forums where the sale information will be.
