When you're hot, you're hot!



As you see in the previous post, Purple Rain, we had a big hit, so why stop there?  Towards the end of the show, one of the dealers was carrying around a box of 2012 Panini Prizm Basketball offering it up for $80.  Knowing that it sells for around $100 I hopped on that deal.  A few of the youngsters hanging around the show urged me to pop the box right there, so I did.  Within the first couple of packs, lightning struck again in the form of a Blake Griffin Refractor Autograph numbered to 25, sweet. I continued popping packs when one of the kids said "Look at him, he's not even excited about pulliing that Griffin!" I was excited, but after what I had already pulled, this was just okay, at least I was going to get my money back. And as I'm writing this, an offer just came in for this card and tomorrow, it will be on it's way to it's new owners.  I'm sure they will be excited when the receive it in the next few days.

Purple Rain!

This is actually the second Purple Refractor Autograph we've pulled in the last two months. The first was Yu Darvish. Halfway through a box of 2012 Bowman Draft Picks and Prospects Baseball we made it rain! A Bryce Harper Rookie Autograph Purple Refractor, on card, and not a redemption! Sweet!

The Bryce is Right!


After a long, successful day at the Key West Card Show, we decided to bust a box of 2012 Topps Chrome Baseball as part of the closing ceremony.  I popped it open and shared the four stacks of packs with Ashlyn, Steve, and my nephew Kevin Michael.  Everyone started popping and I was barely into my first pack when my Kevin Michael held out a redemption card as well as an autograph card.  The auto was Liam Hendriks, the redemption was a Bryce Harper Autograph Rookie Variation.  Boom, two in the same pack, and we got the HARPAH just like the Dish commercial. Wow, so we kept popping, ending up with four autos, two regular, one sepia, and the HARPAH! What a nice end to a great day.  I'm glad we got to share it with some special friends and family.
