Weekly Box Break

2000 Gamers Football Hobby

2009-07-04T16:01:00.001-06:00

Game on!

A few weeks ago I bought a hobby box of 2000 Fleer Gamers football from my local card shop. Why? I always enjoyed the baseball set and like the card design and stock. So why not buy a box that cost $70+ new in 2000 for $25 today. Plus why pass up the chance at some Titans and Saints cards?

So let's get to crinkling some foil!

One hobby box. Five cards per pack. Twenty four packs per box.

100 Card Base Set
45 Card Next Gamers subset (1:8 Packs)

Parallels:
Gamers Extra - Gold foil printing and has EXTRA under card number
Base Cards 1 - 100 (1:8 Packs)
Next Gamers 101 - 145 (1:24 Packs)

Insert Sets:
Contact Sport - 20 Cards (1:4 Packs)

Yard Chargers
Wide Receivers 1 - 5 (1:9 Packs) / Running Backs 6 - 10 (1:24 Packs)
Quarterbacks 11 - 15 (1:144 Packs)

Change The Game - 15 Cards (1:24 Packs)

Gamers Uniformity - Jersey Cards (1:44 Packs)

Gamers Autographics - On Card Autographs (1:287 Packs)

This is back when game used and autos were a rare treat.

Pack 1

87 Brad Johnson

57 Tim Biakabatuka

Fun name to say. Bad name to type.

13 of 20 CS Dennis Northcutt Contact Sport

Better looking cards in person. Bright and pics are light gold with refractor like shine to card.

81 Kevin Johnson

52 Kurt Warner

Please stop the Hall of Fame talk. Too many bad years for that yet.

Pack 2

Checklist Card

Nothing like a great checklist. If you look closely enough you can see it has great players names on it. Thus making it valuable.

11 Mike Alstott

60 Eddie George

Second best RB in the Oilers / Titans history after Earl Campbell.
First Titan of the box and a nice card. As you can see under Eddie
is a Bronco that was just too scared to tackle.

126 J.R. Redmond

39 Jon Kitna

65 Mark Brunell

Pack 3

56 Steve McNair

When I was working in Vicksburg, MS, Steve was in his last year at the NCAA Division Two level. Some guys I managed were students at Alcorn State and invited me down to shoot some hoops. After about 30 mins on the court a slightly faded, early 80's Nissan Z pulls up to the court. Out steps McNair. Crowd gathers. My friends laugh as Steve lines up opposite me. After a few minutes he goes for the lane, starts his leap, palms me in the face, pushes off and dunks. 200 people scream happily, laugh, taunt and grab crotches while saying "Damn" "Awe Shit, man" and other stuff. I walk off the court with head held low as Steve laughs and pats me on the back. Steve McNair made me the other guy on the poster.

4 Rich Gannon

Almost a Super Bowl winner. Damn tuck rule.

13 of 15 CG Edgerin James Change the Game

Another bad scan of a great looking foil card.

93 Amani Toomer

9 Jevon Kearse

Great player. Too bad he was a Gator. Had fun taunting him during a friend's batchelor party when Tank Williams got Javon to tag along. He is a great guy and willing to put up with Vols fans. Here's to an injury free season.

Pack 4

46 Raghib Ismail

I forgot. Did this guy save the CFL or not?

15 James Stewart

67 Marcus Robinson

84 Steve Beurlein

100 Kerry Collins

Why could Drunky McFumbles not put together a Super Bowl season for the Saints?

Pack 5

47 Ricky Williams

Thanks to Iron Mike for trying to make the Saints into the Lions.

75 Randall Cunningham

Man this guy was electric.

12 of 20 CS Trung Candidate Contact Sport

64 Emmit Smith

22 Jamal Anderson

What ever happened to the Dirty Birds? Is that you dayf?

Pack 6

71 Damon Huard

59 Wayne Chrebet

Between this guy and Steve Tasker, the little guys were well represented in the 90's.

4 of 15 YC Tim Brown Yard Chargers

Even though this guy is on of the greats of the game I just don't see him that way.

92 Jake Plummer

8 Dedric Ward

This is all I have ime to post this week. Next Tuesday or Wed. I will post the rest of the box. Some good stuff in here. I just want to get it out there.

2008 Upper Deck Masterpieces Hobby Box Break

2009-04-18T13:50:00.003-06:00

This week we have a nice little pick up. A hobby box of 2008 Upper Deck Masterpieces. This is the first year I have purchased the brand. Kicking myself for not getting any 2007 boxes. My first impression of the set is that it has a great checklist. Plenty of old and new mixed together. The parallels are good looking also. I enjoy the contrast of the black and red borders.

So let's get to peeling some foil!

One hobby box. Six cards per pack. Twelve packs per box.

120 Card Base Set

Parallels:
Black Border
Bronze Ore Border
Deep Blue Border
Forest Green Border
Hades Border
Ionized Border
Persian Blue Border
Pinot Red Border / 1
Red Border
Sirious Black Border / 5
Urban Grey Border

I am not sure of print runs but these are all of the colored borders.

Inserts:
Captured on Canvas - Game Worn Jersey Cards
Captured on Canvas - Autograph / Jersey Combo Card
Captured on Canvas - Autograph / Patch Combo Card / 25
Captured on Canvas - Patch Card / 50
Stroke of Genius - On Card Autographs

Pack 1

2 Justin Upton

Nice card. I am digging the action painting and the feel of the cards. Good job on Upper Deck's part.

13 Curt Schilling Black Border

First Black Border parallel of the box.
Of Curt Schilling.
One of those clutch pitchers every team wants.
And a geek.

27 Victor Martinez

Catcher. The other ball team in Ohio.

34 Gary Sheffield

Congrats on the 500 Home Run Club membership.

62 Alex Rodriguez

Youngest player to 500 Home Run Club.
Youngest player to consistently choke in October.

79 Russell Martin

Catcher. Greatest position to play.
Nice action shot of Russell robing Conor Jackson of a foul ball.
I would have let a lucky fan get a souvenir.
I am nice. He is mean.

Pack 2

39 Roy Oswalt

I may be a Reds fan but I appreciate a great guy like Roy.

5 Max Scherzer

60 Whitey Ford

Some pitcher that did something that got Yankee fans excited.

88 Frank Thomas

This is turning into the 500 Home Run Club box.

105 Tom Seaver

Best known as a Met. Best games as a Red.

114 Willie Stargell Dark Blue Border 106 / 125

Anyone who does not like Pops also
hates cute puppies with wet noses, apple pie and sunny days.

Pack 3

4 Chipper Jones Black Border

I am not a big fan of Chipper. Some guys are.
But this is one heck of a card.
The black border only adds to the art.

48 Ryan Braun

Favorite player on the favorite team of my dispatcher.
The guy knows nothing about baseball.

54 David Wright

Great looking card. The look of agony on his face as he
knows the home run means nothing in the loss to the Reds.

76 Greg Maddux

Just seems unnatural out of a Braves uni.

68 Rich Harden

90 Ryan Zimmerman

Gonna be a good year for this guy on
the Bay Rats with Dunn in the lineup.

Pack 4

23 Jim Thome

I like Jim Thome. But is he a Hall of Famer?
Sure he has the stats but he is a career DH. He can
fist pump while carrying an oversize Mr. Microphone all
he wants. Still not gonna make him a shoe in.

63 Hideki Matsui

CC-JV Jason Varitek

Captured on Canvas Game Worn Jersey.

Pack 5

33 Asdrubal Cabrera

Don't know much about this Cabrera but it looks
like he is a huge Blue Jays fan wanting an auto.
Wait until after the game, guy.

53 Carlos Beltran

Typical New York power hitter.

19 Ryne Sandberg

Ryne is one of the best at 2nd base.
Hall of Famer.
Loved by fans.
Adored by collectors.
But he played in Chicago for their National League team.

Filler Card

Yes. I am type A at times.

Yankee Stadium Legacy Game 3435

81 Ichiro

Looks like a sorta down year by his standards.

82 Felix Hernandez

If this guy ever learns how to pitch in the majors
we are looking at the next Tom Seaver. If.

67 Eric Chavez

Chavy!

Pack 6

40 Alex Gordon

Will the Royals ever be over .500 again?

118 Bob Gibson SP

Was there ever a better championship pitcher? Christy Mat, maybe.

CC-RZ Ryan Zimmerman

Captured on Canvas Autograph / Jersey Parallel.

77 Jake Peavy

Peavy! Make sure you come to the Reds in trade!
Peavy for Bailey. We would love that.

Pack 7

7 Evan Longoria

22 Kosuke Fukudome

A rookie last year who stunk it up. HAHAHAHAHA!

35 Magglio Ordonez

His best power year came while playing with Jose Canseco.
Nuff said.

43 Chin-Lung Hu

Filler Card

First double of the box.

Yankee Stadium Legacy Game 3385

71 Ryan Howard

Phillies have not had a masher like this guy since
Schmidt's 'stache roamed the infield.

56 Jose Reyes

On heck of a 5 tool guy. Yep. A Met's tool.

Pack 8

32 Justin Verlander

Good luck on the comeback. Tigers need ya big guy.

100 Yogi Berra Black Border

A non smiling Yogi? Who painted this?
A Mets fan? Yogi should always be smiling or
jumping into Whitey's arms in joy.

18 Alfonso Soriano

I'd smile also if I was paid kajillions to hit like
a Gashouse Gorilla and not produce playoff time.

46 Robin Yount

What is this monstrosity? Yount?
Without a hair covered upper lip? Has all that is
good in this world gone by the wayside?
How can he hit without it?

61 Mariano Rivera

Lights out. Best reliever. Ever.

96 Ernie Banks

Mr. Cub! Great shortstop, hitter and ambassador for baseball.

Pack 9

6 Mark Teixeira

Are they sure this is not Greg Maddux at bat?

26 Grady Sizemore

Plays on a team this guy likes.

69 Chase Utley

Filler Card

First triple of the box.

Yankee Stadium Legacy Game 3410

20 Carlos Zambrano

Fall apart completely this year. Please?

75 Tony Gwynn

Skinny Tony? And the brown, orange and yellow?
Joe is happy.

47 Prince Fielder

I can has veggieburger??!!1?!
LOLBrewer.

Pack 10

13 Curt Schilling

113 Steve Carlton

Second greatest great pitcher on hard luck teams.
Walter Johnson being first.

Yankee Stadium Legacy Game 413

64 Joba Chamberlain

63 Hideki Matsui

Second double of the box.

77 Jake Peavy

Third double of the box.

50 Joe Mauer

Another great catcher named Joe. How can you not love that?

Pack 11

12 wade Boggs Black Border

Glad to see his hair is making a comeback.

4 Chipper Jones

The black border is defiantly better looking .

13 Wade Boggs

Not bad. Both the base and the parallel in the same pack.

11 Carl Yastrzemski

Probably one of the most unappreciated greats.

89 Roy Halladay

Gonna be a good year for this guy. As usual.
Then a mid season trade to the Yankees makes him
a quadrillionaire.

74 Luke Hochevar

Pack 11

55 Johan Santana

16 Johnathan Papelbon

You would not like him when he's angry.

38 Lance Berkman Red Border Parallel

I like these borders the best from the ones I have seen.

83 Ozzie Smith

The Wizzard. Opening days without his flips are just opening days.

95 Warren Spahn

Any Spahn card is a great card.
How can you not love that leg kick?

41 Vladimir Guerrero

I was just joking when I told Mr. I HeArt Halos
I wanted to see Vlady in SLC for a week of rehab.

So there you have it. A great looking set and a nice box break. Not too many doubles and a good mix. But what have you guys noticed?
That's right!
Mr. Reds Cards has become the go to guy for all your Cubs cards needs.
What diety have I pissed of to see Reds card after Reds card pulled by Braves fan, Cub fan, Indians fan, Mets fan and even Yankees fan?

By Landslide!

2009-03-10T13:45:00.004-06:00

By an overwhelming number of votes (2) I have decided to open the
2008 Goudey Baseball Retail box. Why?
It got the first vote.

I have no idea, even after all this time, what inserts and parallels are in the set.
So I will look them up.

200 Card Base Set
201 - 230 Cards are Short Prints
231 - 250 U.S. Presidents (I hope I get a Thomas Jefferson or Grover Cleveland. Those guys are my Faves!)
250 - up Sports Royalty

Parallels:
Mini
Mini Black Back / 34
Mini Blue Back
Mini Red Back
Mini Green Back / 88
Mini Black & White / 88

Inserts:
Hit Parade of Champions - Mini sized cards of various sports guys
Goudey Graphs - On card autographs
Goudey Gear - Game used gear

There may be some more but you get the gist. Plenty of goodies for all to chase!
Lets crack some wax and dig in:

Pack 1

67 Jeff Francis

This guy helped me out last year big time
with his wins. But they come with a price.
His E.R.A. can be brutal some games

197 Austin Kearns

I have now managed to acquire over 500 different Kearns cards so far.
It looks like he may be squeezed out of a job in Washington.
Four guys are competing for right field.

177 Carl Crawford

This is a player I want to like. But his numbers come in bunches
and add up to a good total. Slim pickings when he is
cold at the plate. Plus it looks like he has peeked

73 Jack Morris

This guy was cold blood personified. Once of the best
big game pitchers of all time.

REDS GREATNESS ALERT!!

48 Joe Morgan

Something about us Joe's being All-Star second basemen.
We just got mad skills. Too bad he sucks so bad in the booth.

178 Carlos Pena

140 Ryan Howard

Lets see what the reigning champs have to offer this year.
Something tells me they are going to do well
until they face the Reds in the NL Championship.
Then KABLOOEY!
REDS WIN! REDS WIN!

297 Jackie Joyner-Kersee

This card scares me.

Pack 2

117 David Wright

There is a fan named Lucy.
She really likes David Wright.
She makes her readers feel all goosy,
When they read her site.

65 Troy Tulowitzki

It would be nice to see Tulo come back strong
this year. In all his flat brimmed glory.

13 Tom Glavine

This card looks more like Tom Avery.

143 Shane Victorino

Hit a game winning HR on Shane Victorino Day
in Philly on 06/03/07.
How sweet is that?

130 Graig Nettles

Craig to those in the know.
He always seemed to show up in big games.

78 Jeremy Hermida

26 Bobby Doerr

What deity did Bobby piss of to make him a lifetime Red Sox?

275 Brett Favre

I grew up with the guy.
Yes. He is one of the best QB's ever.
Yes. He is as big an ahole as you will ever meet.

Pack 3

195 Ryan Zimmerman

This is a great looking card. The bat looks real.

Halo Hysteria!!!

91 John Lackey

Steady wins and K's on the mound.
Ya gotta like that.

39 Louis Aparico

One of those unappreciated all-time greats.
Even if he played for the White Sox.

169 Raul Ibanez

This is more like a Valentines Day card than a baseball card.

124 Hideki Matsui

I still like those Fox playoff commercials
with Hideki jumping on home plate with the
Godzilla sounds and the stadium shaking.

104 Prince Fielder

If this is a vegetarian I would hate to "meat"
a non-vegan Fielder in a dark alley.

182 Michael Young

Just quietly produces year after year.

Yankee Stadium Legacy Game 122

Irish Bob hit a two run homer on Oct. 4, 1928 to
begin a four game sweep of the Cardinals.

Pack 4

77 Hanley Ramirez

Why Boston gave up this guy is beyond me.
Glad this guy has someone to love.

25 Dustin Pedroia

Come on M.V.P. fantasy season!

155 Chris Young

103 Warren Spahn

Spahn and Sain and pray for rain.
One of the greatest to ever befuddle batters.

150 Ralph Kiner

98 Andruw Jones

"It looked like the guy stopped at every fast food
restaurant on I-10 from Atlanta to L.A."
J-Dub on Fox Sports radio

REDS GREATNESS ALERT!!

46 Sparky Anderson

No manager was able to coax so much out of players
for so long. In different leagues. Top 3 manager ever. Easily.

242 John Adams

Can't complain about the second man to hold the office.
Any man who believed in the principles of this country
enough to be a defense lawyer for a British soldier
is a stand up guy.

Pack 5

9 Jeff Francoeur

Unless Frenchy starts hitting soon there will
be more irate fans than just the one
under his name on the card.

191 Frank Thomas

It just is not natural seeing Frank in something other
than a White Sox uni.

139 Jack Cust

211 Al Kaline Red Back Mini

Mr. Tiger. I think. Don't know much about Al.

136 Rollie Fingers

The second most fearsome 'stache in all of baseball lore.
Have no idea who would win in a smack down between
Rollie or Schmidt's 'stache but I would pay to watch.

84 Carlos Lee

194 David Eckstien

Looks like David is also scared by Jackie's card.

Yankee Stadium Legacy Game 197

Yankees loose!

Pack 6

133 Joe Blanton

Enough with the A's. We need more Reds!

81 Roy Oswalt

I really like divisional opponent Roy Oswalt.
When you ask for your contract playoff bonus to
be a bulldozer you get a tip of my hat in your direction.

29 Jonathan Papelbon

After meeting Pap and his bulldog in Hattiesburg, MS
last winter I can believe the dog ate the World Series ball.

107 Ben Sheets

This guys stuff is electric.
Too bad his mechanics always have him hurting.

62 Brad Hawpe

10 Phil Niekro

You can't go wrong with any cards of Knucksie.
Even if it is a 19 80 E'fn 2 picture. Lousy Chambliss.

192 Alex Rios

214 Robin Yount

Great pic here. Yount scanning the pitches.
Powder Blue uni and the best AL team logo ever.

Pack 7

REDS ALERT!!

51 Aaron Harang

Thrower of stinky cheddar and hopefully will
regain his control. Thanks Dusty.

181 James Shields

How many pitchers do the Rays have?

129 Derek Jeter

As much as I dislike his team I respect his efforts on the field.
And his women off the field.

293 Mr. Hockey Mini Red Back

Mr. Hockey is a well deserved moniker.

88 Billy Butler

Why the sad face Billy?
KC has a great baseball.... stadium!

176 B.J. Upton

72 Magglio Ordoñez

Get a few more HR's for my fantasy team this year Mags. Please?

20 Jeremy Guthrie

Smile now.
You'll soon realize you pitch for the Orioles.

So what did we learn?
I really liked opening this box. Got a great mix of old and new players. A new idea for a Halloween mask and a card of Sparky Anderson. The look and feel of the cards gave me a little rush I have not had in a while opening packs. I just kept thinking these are really nice. Let me know what you guys think.

1997 Topps Finest Series 2

2009-03-07T11:02:00.002-07:00

Recently I picked up a box of 1997 Topps Finest Series 2. Rather than post the cards in order of how I pulled them from the pack, I'm going to list them by subset. We have Acquisitions, Power, Blue Chips, Competitors and Masters. I scanned every cards I pulled, except for the doubles. So here's my box break in all of its glory.

ACQUISITIONS

Jay Bell - 178 Common

Acquisitions - Jay Bell Refractor 178

I pulled very few refractors, apparently they were a bit harder to come by in 1997. The best part of the refractors is they make the card actually look clean and clear when you scan it.

Jose Vizcaino - 191 Common

Orlando Merced - 196 Common

Bobby Bonilla - 199 Common

2009-03-04T15:03:00.003-07:00

I am having scanner issues right now. For some reason it only does the top half of each card. Even when scanning an entire 9 page at once. So I will pick up a new one while in LA this weekend.
Now for the exciting part:

YOU GET TO PICK THE NEXT BOX!

Will it be
A- 2008 Goudey Retail
B- 2007 Bowman Heritage Baseball Hobby
C - 2008 Masterpeices Baseball Hobby
D- 2000 Fleer Gamers Football

Just leave your answer in the comments section and On Tuesday of next week we shall display for all the world to see frsh cardboard that only I have gently caressed.

Some 2000 cards

2009-02-19T15:38:00.004-07:00

I noticed over the past few months all box breaks have been hobby boxes of wax or retail blasters of wax with an occasional mix pack cheap o box thrown in.
Here is a little something different.
I picked up a box of 2000 Bowman Draft Picks and Prospects last week. Here it is in all it's glorious color. Each box has 110 up and coming prospects of Major League Baseball teams and the Cubs with an autographed prospect card. Big pick up is a Grady Sizemore auto. Lets rip some cellophane, bend some cardboard and see what we gots.

During my days waiting for 2009 products to arrive, I spent hours scouring the world wide interweb in search of cheap boxes to open. 1999 Stadium Club Series 2 hit that mark. 24 packs, 6 cards per pack and unfortunately I can't show you them all, but I did scan 2 cards from every pack and of course you will see every Red and Halo card that came out of this box.
