2 boxes of '12 Topps Minis - uvaspina - 09-04-2012 11:10 AM
So, I decided to pull the trigger on a couple of hobby boxes since they're sold out. I think I did ok. Didn't come close to getting my money out of it, but they are a fun break. None are FT at the moment. Deciding whether I want to build this set.
EDIT: I am looking to trade for the following Minis:
-Verlander (base, gold, relic)
-Stanton (gold, relic)
-Cabrere (gold, relic)
Here's the "hits"
Box 1*
Gold
Kerry Wood
Ian Desmond
Andrew Bailey
Dexter Fowler
PC
Mike Stanton
Miguel Cabrera
Mickey Mantle (Not PC, but thought I'd mention it)
Printing Plate
2011 NL ERA Leaders (Cyan; Kershaw/Halladay/Lee)
**I did not get either a relic or an auto in this box** I do not believe the printing plate counts. Not sure if it's worth messing around with Topps on this. Any thoughts are welcome.
Box 2
Gold
Edwin Jackson
Michael Young
Ben Revere
Miguel Montero
Josh Johnson (1/61)
Platinum:
Fautino De Los Santos
Notable Rookie
Cespedes
Harper
GU:
Kershaw
Printing Plate
Matt Latos (Yellow)
PC:
Mike Stanton
2011 AL ERA Leader (Verlander)
2011 AL Wins Leaders (Verlander)

not too shabby. sucks about the auto's. im not a fan of mini's but i thought about picking up some myself. the auto template looks really nice.

Thanks. What's nice is that the Minis were a relatively short run, so there's decent amount of SNs (especially plates) to be had. Definitely a lot more fun than opening the normal '12 Topps product.

i've noticed that with some box breaks i've watched. it seems plates are about 1:3 boxes.

I think the box odds state 1:60, but I got my first plate out of the only mini box and I've seen a lot of others pull them. They all seem to be yellow though :|
