Redemption:

Golden Moments autograph of Chad Billingsley

I will be mailing it in and hoping for the best but at worst all I am out is a stamp.

My thoughts:

If you look at the autos you will see 2 of them have an asterisk next to them. I got these in the same box. So instead of 1 auto and 2 relics I got 2 autos and 1 relic. Not sure if that is good or bad.

I did not find a single gold card in any pack. Did they not insert them into jumbo packs? I am talking about the ones numbered to /2012.

Those two game used bats are my first ever game used bat pulls so I am excited.

As a Rockies fan I was excited to pull a Carlos Gonzalez game used jersey card.

I will update this post if I find any variations.

What are your thoughts on this case.

Not bad, man! I'm pretty sure the Variation SP's fell one per jumbo box so you should have a bunch of them. Congrats on your case!

I pulled 2 variations

256 Mat Latos in dugout

308 Mike Leake with mascot


I also pulled a interesting card. Car number 470. What makes this interesting is that it is from series 2. Now I know what you are thinking but the case was sealed and not tampered with and the boxes were sealed and not tampered with and the packs were sealed and not tampered with.

How did a series 2 card get in a series 1 pack??

Topps put variation SPs for numbers 331, 332, 400, 411, 421, 450 and 470 into Series 1 packs. I must assume that you have the Howie Kendrick Dugout SP as the card numbered 470 that you pulled.

Yeah, Topps does that quite often, putting series 1 and/or 2 variations into update series. In fact, they did it this year. I pulled a bunch of variations that were originally series 1 and 2 ... in total there were 16 in my case!!!!
