Baseball Cards 101

All 5 cases arrived on time.  I knew exactly what my night was going to be like.  Five hours of repacking, and printing shipping labels.  I should have scheduled the break for 8pm.  Would have been a better break between all the boxing up.

On second thought, 7pm was a good choice in time.  I had gotten 3 or 4 packages done and spotting the time just grabbed the next box for myself.  Over on the Beckett boards a couple posters bearing David Wrights signature and a topps hologram had been pulled from cases.  When I pulled my box out I spotted the folded posted sitting below in the case.  You can imagine how fast my body starting pumping the adreanline.  I carefully unfolded the poster.  Immediately I recognized that it was not the same design as the David Wright poster.  Mine instead was about the Ancient Icons set and no auto.  It depicts each of the cards from the set on the poster.  I’ll have to see if I can get a photo taken.   I’m already planning on getting a frame for it.  The poster should look beautiful hanging on the wall.

My very first pack yeilded a shark mini.

In the remainder of this box I pulled:

131 base
12 short print
12 regular mini
4 A&G back mini: James Loney, Mark Buehrle, Chipper Jones, Kelly Johnson
3 Black border mini: Bobby Jenks, Adam Wainwright, Andrew Miller
2 World Leaders: New Zealand, Peru
1 Ancient Icon: Alexander the Great
1 Team Orange: Minty Beans
1 Worlds Greatest Victory: Man walks on the Moon

and not to forget my four relics and one auto:

A.J. Pierzynski

Stephen Drew

Tim Hudson

Todd Helton

Alex Rios

What a night huh?  And don’t forget I still have two boxes for Tuesday night.  You can watch the live box breaks via Ustream.tv.  I’ll start at 7pm central time again.  In case you missed it here’s the video:
