2013 YOUTUBE "BACK TO SCHOOL" CONTEST

2013 Allen & Ginter Recap and Info

2013 Allen & Ginter has arrived, and without a doubt it has brought with it an eclectic mix of stars across the board that is a Ginter staple.  Pele headlines the signers this year, along with Rock and Roll great Axl Rose, BCS championship coach Nick Saban, and the always controversial John Calipari just to name a few.  Along with the unique mix of signers, there are brand new inserts, and the all new Double rip cards.  If you've read previous posts, you know by now that I love this product, so I will spare you all of the gushing.  If you tend to be strictly a baseball guy, this product is most likely not for you with all the oddball inclusions, but for this collector I cant think of a funner break for the money across the board. 

Feel free to immerse yourself in Ginter below, where I will share a link to the first break of this product last Saturday done by Chris Olds of Beckett at the 2013 National. And check out my personal (2) box recap with a sweet box topper found 1 in every 22 cases.

CAM NEWTON MOJO

2011 ABSOLUTE MEMORABILIA CAM NEWTON ROOKIE PREMIERE MATERIALS AUTOGRAPH SPECTRUM PRIME 

***10/10**

BGS GRADED (9.5) w/ (10) Autograph

This beauty was pulled live in a group break several months back from BBExpress2's Break room on VaughTv.  After seeing the card in person, I knew that it had to be graded, and the results did not disappoint.  The sub-grades were as follows: Corners (9.0) Centering (9.5) Surface (9.5) Edges (9.5).
The current grading Pop for this card is 2, with this particular card being numbered 10/10.  This gem is currently listed on Ebay http://www.ebay.com/itm/151026661781?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649

2013 Topps Gypsy Queen NPN + Recap

2013 TOPPS GYPSY QUEEN 

6-PACK + Mini Box (Hobby) Recap

I purchased 6 hobby packs and a Mini Box of the new 2013 Topps Gypsy Queen Baseball from my local LCS http://www.lockerroomlegends.net/ on Wednesday afternoon.  I had seen some pretty nice stuff come from the product, and wanted to give it a try for myself--the results were rather lackluster, although I like the overall design and concept of the 2013 product.  While I did not pull any hits from the final 5 packs of an opened box, and one pack from another, it is a product that has enough fun inserts, parallels, and variations to keep a break of any kind interesting--in my case 1/4 of a box!  Check out the Pics below.......

A look at the mini variations that were yielded from the break.

Sample of Inserts.

2013 Topps Baseball Series 1 (Jumbo Case Recap + Reaction)

2013 Topps Series 1 Reaction and Thoughts:

As I began busting the boxes, I was overcome, overcome by appreciation.  Not only did I have my hands on one of my favorite products, but I was blessed enough to have the opportunity to purchase a case.  As a father, husband, and teacher, I ask that you take it or leave it, I rarely take for the granted the opportunity to open cards, given the realization of the hard work it takes to get to do what I love.  I was not only overcome by appreciation, I was also overcome by my senses, in particular, my sense of smell.  If you have never experienced it, the smell that comes from factory direct cards is amazing, now one may say, what the hell is this guy talking about?? What Im getting at is the fact that you are immersed in an experience, and when those experiences mean something to you, your brain tends to remember those extraneous things that surround you-and there's just something about new cards, whether it actually IS the smell, or it's simply the appreciation of the experience.

Ok, with that out of the way, lets move on to the good stuff, 2013 Topps Series 1 Jumbo.  

Initial Reaction:  Clean but simple borders where the photography is the star

Card Backs:  Very cool Chasing History factoids where Topps lists how many Hits, Runs, Steals, etc they are away from breaking a record.  

Inserts:  Nice mix of inserts; Calling Cards, Minis, Chasing History, to name a few.

Parallels: The golds are back, which is a nice touch with numbering to /2013, Emerald (Green vibrant sparkle) parallel of the 330 card set, Silk Collection /50, Camo /99, black /61, printing plates.

SP's: Pulled at a ratio of 2 per jumbo case (Out of Bounds).  The ones I pulled were Brett Lawrie, and Eric Hosmer.

Hits: Chasing History Autos and Relics, Cy Young Award Winner Manufactured, MVP Trophy Manufactured, Proven Mettle (Steel, Copper, Wrought Iron all serial #ed to varying amounts), and of course (sly smile) ONE OF ONES!!!

Topps Wrapper Redemptions

Spring Fever Redemptions (Hobby Shop Redemptions)

Million Dollar Chase Giveaway Code Cards: 1 per Jumbo pack.

Complete Sets Produced: 6

Damaged Cards: 2 

Odds and Ends:  Some base cards had dimpling on the back, im not completely sure why, chalk it up to machine errors??

Overall: I would rate this product to be one of the better Series 1 products in the last 3-4 years!
