That auto is the first one worth having that I've seen pulled from this set. Congrats!

I still have my box - it's half red, half white. The players are Trout, Machado, Darvish, someone I assume is Harvey, Cabrera and Harper, positioned around the Topps logo.

That Cingrani is a keeper! He's by far the most underrated rookie of this year's class. He's a solid #2 starter for a long time on a good team.

Nice stuff ... PM sent, Joe!

Nice cingrani. This pin cards are sweet. I bought one jumbo pack and pulled the bench pin 3rd pack down on the left. Was that consistent with what you found?

I need all cespedes from the set if you're up for trading. Would also be interested in some puig base.

Have Cespedes Emerald #202 (Checklist), Mini, Franchise Forerunners (w Ricky) and the base cards. I'll put them aside for you and send an offer in a day or two after I can get org. loaded.

All my relics were L2, my Pin/Rings L5 and auto's R3. I assume that the cases are collated that way...however they matched DrM's so who the heck knows. My LCS is honest in that you get what's on top in a box (can pick right or left)....that's why I frequent them!

Very nice break Joe. The photo in that Ripken card is pretty cool (I love how a Mariner's fan is in the mix lol).

Yea, that cracks me up. There was a a Parrot (Pirates mascot) card a couple of years ago and he was surrounded by Phillies fans. Just wonder if Topps does that on purpose or that they don't care....

As to your other point....I think the cards in update and all of 2013 base have been really excellent. Sharp, crisp pictures on the cards, not something my 8 year old could photoshop as has been the case the past couple of years.

Hey, not encouraging pack searching, but in this case, it's just knowing what pack you want prior to walking in .... it's actually still a chance, just a little more in your favor than random.
I was mostly curious. Since I don't have an LCS anywhere near me, it wasn't to benefit me or my evil plans of cardboard domination!!!!!!(Bwahhaha!!)
But, now if you're in the LCS, there's nothing wrong if the right stack is on the third pack and decide to purchase it, is there?

Absolutly right...nothing wrong (talking Jumbos only here). However, stores do allow folks to take a brand new open box and pick out what pack/s they want. To me, that's no different then pack searching retail. It's thier store and thier customer so they can do what they want....they just don't get my business.
