I debated for an hour today whether I would go out in the 25 degree weather to pick a new Topps box to "think spring".
Went to the LCS a half hour before it closed and walked away with a 2013 Topps hobby box & 1999 UD Retro Lunchbox still sealed w/ all 24 packs. Auto's were included at a rate of 1:23, so w/ 24 packs I figured I could get a swanky auto.
No dice...I was lucky enough to pull the Sean Casey auto redemption that expired in 2000. Cue sad trombone
I carried on to break the 2013 hobby box, and with 5 sealed packs left I got the auto from the box, a Dwight Gooden. I was actually content with that.
The very next pack opened had something familiar looking- the dreaded light blue redemption look. It was odd as I just got the autograph, so I kinda thought it might be some new Topps promotion thing with codes & nothing concrete and rewarding.
As I read it I was puzzled as to what it was until I actually had to say it out loud for me to register "Ultimate Chase Auto/Bat Knob of Al Kaline".
It sounded great! Anyone know if it is a one of one? (based off other pulls????)
