Do you have any scans of your collection? I'm sure you've amassed quite the collection of rookie autos with all these breaks. Thanks for the contests and good luck on the rest of the break

Case #9 Summary

Grade: B
Comments: I continue to be happy with this break. Gallo and Hawkins base autos were supplemented by a Taveras Best refractor, a Liddi red refractor, a blue auto, an orange auto, and the Correa Perfect Game auto. Esa0315 still leads the contest with just one case to go. The current highest auto serial number is 180 – 12 boxes to go!

Thanks! It's a project I'm working on, but I always seem to be interrupted by acquisitions. I really do need to move this up on my priorities list, though.

Addison Reed Orange /25
Bryce Harper Rookie Refractor /300
Patrick Merkling Blue Refractor /250
Francisco Lindor Futures Game Jumbo Patch /25
Shane Watson Auto

Grade: A
Comments: Now this is a beauty of a patch. The “O” from “WORLD” is sectioned, with part of the star showing. It’s 4 or 5 color, depending on whether the letter is bordered in black rather than navy. Will post a photo later. Also, my first parallel of Bryce Harper in the break.

Case #10, Box #3

Elian Herrera Blue /500
Ty Buttrey Blue /500
Paul Blackburn Orange /25
Michael Vaughn Gold Refractor /50
Stryker Trahan Refractor Auto

Grade: C
Comments: I doubt I’ll finish up the break tonight, but I feel certain I’ll finish before the Monday night game. Not that the tiebreak is going to be necessary. We’ll have an outright winner one way or another. There’s still a decent chance of a contest lead change. One of my previous cases had three paper autos, but I’m guessing at least one more before the break is over.

Stryker Trahan All-America Auto 001/235

Grade: B-
Comments: It doesn’t affect the contest at all, but a card numbered 001/235 is kind of cool. I’m starting to feel a blue auto coming.

Sorry so slow -- should finish up Tuesday.

[anagel]

Take your time. It's fun watching the great hits that you're pulling. I even got to see my name on your leader board briefly.
I also seem to have problems on only this site. Sometimes it takes 5 minutes just to change pages. It's no wonder that a ton of people have left this site.
Good luck with this last case!
