y ads and not to have them disguised as cards 1 36 pull i don t watch the mlb network but i can see how this would be kinda cool for those who do maybe topps recognized this and that s why they made them scarcer then the ad cards i have a strong feeling that the first pitch inserts are going to be included in every main release set for eternity i love them there does seem to be a wrigley field bias i love the 5 tool set as well great design nice player selection interesting write ups i m only going to collect certain players since the checklist on this is 50 cards so the kemp kindler and moncada are available for trade my first year of collecting cards was 1987 this is going to be an ambitious undertaking but i m going to try to complete this 100 card set please send me any you can spare i have no interest in bowman cards but i m going to keep these except the machado this seems to be overkill there already is an insert set with a huge checklist and then they include this topps salute set as well with another 100 cards i feel like they should have just concentrated on the holidays for this one and left out the legends and rookies these are available for trade except the sano another sigh i ve never been a fan of relics but i have become used to their appearance what bothers me with this one isn t the design i think that looks great in my mind i was pretty sure ryu was injured last year i checked baseball reference yep one game one game he went 4 2 innings and allowed 6 runs if he s healed and ready to pitch this year great save these for series 2 over 900 players played in 2016 and topps includes a relic of the guy who played in one of them sigh and yeah buybacks are now called rediscover topps i did get a 1974 card in a jumbo but this is what i pulled from the hobby box my 3rd sigh final tally 311 of 350 base 47 inserts 0 doubles i don t think i m going to buy anymore so it ll be interesting to see if i can trade for the set especially the 87 inserts if you can help let me know i did buy two judo packs so i do have some base doubles and a few more inserts thanks for reading 2017 collecting goals an a g rip card january 14 2017 january 14 2017 boots1893 leave a comment 2016 is long gone and the new year will bring several new sets i ve broaden my collection from the topps main release and topps heritage to now include gypsy queen and allen ginter in an attempt to limit my spending and the quantity of cards in my home i think i m going to pass on buying any hobby boxes of the 2017 series 1 2 at the end of the year i ll probably buy the complete set box from target and call it a day however i do collect the team sets of both the mn twins and the cubs so i m going to enter box breaks for each of them if you have a favorite breaking group let me know that leaves 2017 hobby boxes of heritage gypsy queen allen ginter and topps update trading will continue to be a huge part of this blog even though i rarely post my trades anymore sorry about that trading partners in 2016 i sent out packages 48 times this year i ll try and break the 50 mark for older sets i still need to start 2003 2005 and 2006 heritage but i d really like to cross a few of the other sets off my needs list first my heritage needs are here most likely i won t be starting any more heritage sets this year besides 2017 of course i will continue the blogs tradition of sending out some 2017 heritage packs to my readers i d also love to complete any of the gypsy queen sets my needs for gq are here when i started allen ginter last year i only went back to 2011 this gave me a nice 5 year catch up mark i grabbed some boxes of 2011 2014 since they seemed to be more reasonably priced than the rest i then grabbed complete sets of 2012 2015 on ebay for less then 25 each i had picked up a large 2013 insert lot on ebay but hadn t purchased any boxes until blowout cards had a special a few weeks ago i just broke up the box yesterday out came this what should i do i feel like a have a few options 1 rip it 2 don t rip it yea i think those are my options i m going to marinate in those options for a few days i d love your feedback on what you think back to my collecting goals if i m able to finish up one of the 2011 2016 a g sets i ll probably buy a complete set of either 2009 or 2010 2008 set was purchase in 2016 once i figured out i could get the earlier years for under 50 set i ll also take part in the gint a cuffs competition it added a new joy to opening a hobby box last year if you are into a g i d highly recommend checking the blog out as always thank you so much to anyone who reads this as well as all of my trading partners i truly appreciate all of the help and support adieu year end wrap up 2016 december 26 2016 boots1893 1

comments half way thru my box and my point total stands at 43 here you can read part 1 and part 2 gint a cuffs competition can be found here however the commissioner of gint a cuffs ruled that the

competition 7th pack after the first quarter of the box my points stand at 19 cowherd gives my a negative but drury favorite player list natural wonders and an a g back mini each bump me up 2 point total 24 8th pack nothing 9th pack the mayor mini and natural wonder give me a total of 4 28 pts 10th pack laureates of peace mini is a nice pull 1 38 and is worth 2 but gets cut in half since i pulled my first yankee 29 points total 11th pack my first relic hit is worth 5 and the sp mini gives me 3 points 37 12th pack my favorite player makes an appearance kershaw gives me 4 but there s another yankee to deduct 1 the price is a black bordered mini though so that gives me another 3 half way thru my box and my point total stands at 43 at this time only one person has posted their total on the leader board that total is 81 so i m on pace to surpass that however there are a total of 17 participants so chances are someone will get a nice hit to pop them over 100 thanks for reading hobby box break a g 2016 gint a cuffs viii august 4 2016 august 4 2016 boots1893 5 comments 2 x 3 heroes recommended i join a fun little competition called gint a cuffs this is the viii installment and i believe the winner and the last place loser each will take home a shiny box of 2016 allen ginter sign up ended a few days ago and now i need to post the break of my 2016 a g box tabulate my score and see how i fare in the battle fight this is the first current year of allen ginter for me i think about 2 3 months ago the sets peaked my interest and i ve decided to collect starting at 2011 any help would be greatly appreciated a player i collect awesome this box loader puts me at 4 pts i ll have to check with the commissioner to see if i get a bonus since he s on the favorite player list my first card pulled simply design thick card stock and a newness for me give this set high marks in my book other s have been collecting a g for ten years and are not too impressed with this year s design i like it though here are the base cards from my 1st pack according to the rules pulling rick klein give me a negative point so i m now at 3 ist insert this is a cool little set that lists players from the same team and other greats who wore the same number no points for gint a cuffs though each pack contains a mini parallel but this also provides no point adjustment 2nd pack base no points here s a sp also worth 0 points a mini us mayors card gives me 2 though i m up to 5 pack 3 nothing to see here another sp moving on 2 for the natural wonders insert 7 points for me the reddick mini does me no good or evil pack the fourth hamels which auto corrected to camels is a favorite player 2 points rocking me to 9 pts another sp 2 for a baseball legends insert i love these types of sets this ginter box goes to 11 and a black bordered mini 3 14 points pack five schwarber is a favorite player 2 16 points i m wishing i would have picked cubs as my favorite team i think i ve pulled 5 or 6 already and each would have been worth an additional point another number s game and a pope mini 6th pack a twin since i picked mn as my favorite team i get 1 for perkins 17 points yep a g back on this mini gives me a nice 2 and i m going to stop there on this post after 25 of the box i m standing at a respectable 19 points this is fun hobby box break 17 2016 gypsy queen may 6 2016 may 6 2016 boots1893 7 comments i ve been buying the 3 packs 3 blue frame cards hangers at target since the set came where i pulled this beauty it s numbered 11 25 and should sell for somewhere between 30 100 here s the auction link schwarber auto with that pull i justified the purchase of a hobby box here s my break i really like the box and pack design my first card when i first saw the design a few months back i wasn t too impressed but now i m really digging the color and simplistic design it reminds me of greek or roman marble architecture six short prints all of retired players i think kenta maeda was the only current player listed as a sp i m going to hang onto the satchel paige but the rest are available for trade i also have 346 alomar and 350 seaver for trade i have a streak of pulling thor sps in my 2016 heritage box i pulled his regular sp and here i nabbed his action variant i m going to hang onto this as well i didn t collect these in 2015 but i like the design enough to hold onto these this year i do have a double of the votto for trade though who wants to see some dingers i love this insert set i think there are 30 total cards to collect no bonds though so i ll need some help let me know if you can help me out and since there are only ten to collect for this set i might as well go for it i do have an extra donaldson for trade if you need him i picked the kluber box any fans out there these could be part of a nice trade package for you my other two hits weren t too exciting for me i ll gladly ship these out to you too i m collecting the blue retail frames and will have my wantlist needs updated shortly this purple will likely find it s way to a cracked bat i don t usually collect minis but these are awesome i ll need some help with these too these are available for trade as is this these are from the mini box and are all photo variants i m going to keep the ichiro but the others are for trade final tally 185 of 300 base 34 minis 26
