I agree to a certain extent, but these blue refractors look really nice! They all look really nice.

Thanks for all of the comments guys!

Went into Wally world and I usually don't buy blaster boxes but I really like this years Topps Chrome baseball and they had 1 left so I thought I would get it. I have NO IDEA how tough a hot box with all refractors are to get, but that's what I got. Every card in the box was a blue refractor (not numbered). I didn't get any of the "noteable" rookies such as Puig, Miller, or Gattis, but I DID get a nice David Freese die cut. Very cool looking card. Also got a REALLY nice hit!!! It was

Sepia Refractor auto of

Jurickson Profar numbered 59/75. I am going to get it graded. It is REALLY nice.

Thanks for looking.

It's good to see that they made up for the redemption. I had a Pierce sent in for a year also.....but darn my luck they sent me the Pierce just a few days ago!!! hahah

No worries! Nice break!

I could only go about $45 for all of the cards, but I do appreciate it. thanks

Nice break. Interested in all of the Cardinals cards. What would you be asking for them?

Great break. Congrats

I was happy with it for sure. We will just see how long it takes Topps to get it back.

Thank ya brother

Thanks for checking it out

Steve, is there anywhere I can read more about the embezzlement and thievery with Topps redemptions???

Nice break. Very nice Juan and Castro!!!

Not a terrible box either. That box topper card should be really nice. Those are nice cards to display if you are a Smoltzy fan! Hope the patches in the Wright are nice for ya. Thanks for sharing

Yeah those are the things you run into when you do the redemption stuff. I usually always redeem, just because I like to get the cards that I pull. There have been a few that I have just sold because I didn't care much for the player or the card. Either way you go....good luck to ya.

That's about an average box I would say. The jumbo materials auto is actually a case hit. There are only 1 per case of those. They are good looking cards if you choose to redeem it. Thanks for sharing.

Nice Kyle auto!!!! Good stuff.

I have a good feeling about our Blues this year!!!

Thank you my friend. I always appreciate your support!

I do appreciate that a lot. I might just hit you up on that. I need all of the help I can get in that area. I barely know a back slash from a back flip!

Hey guys and gals, I just wanted to take a minute and tell you all about myself. I have been a member of TCC for a while now and enjoy the site and it's members greatly. As another hobby of mine I have been writing and singing country music for a few years now......well it looks like my hobby is turning into my job. I have signed a recording contract with an independant record label. I have currently released 3 songs to iTunes and 2 of them being released to country radio. The second release made it to number 8 on the new music country charts and the iTunes stuff has been doing well. I just wanted to let everyone here know because this is a community of friends that I have really enjoyed being a part of. My band is called Travis Tyler Band. I would greatly appreciate it if you all would "like" my band on facebook and if you like any of the music you hear let me know. I do appreciate all of you. You can find us here

Thank you all for the support and hope to see you when we are out on the road touring!!!

I will do that Steve, and thank you again. It's becoming more of a job than a hobby, and as you can imagine getting to do what you love and make a living at it at the same time........is a gift from God!!!! I will post some stuff for you all.

Nice Mallet!!! He has a good looking auto!

I will just chime in here. I don't post a whole lot (but will post more now), but this is the first, and to this exact moment the only, card collecting forum site I am a member of. I try to come in here a few times a week. I will do my part in trying to post more on topics....especially in the box break/group break sections as that is what I enjoy the most. I very much enjoy this site, and have for years. Thank you Steve for getting the conversation going on this. I will also try to do some product reveiws on new stuff coming out. I don't get to bust a whole lot but I do watch a lot of box breaks. I will just give THIS collectors view of the product.

wow....yeah that is a nice break for sure

I had taken some time off of the group breaks, but got in a couple last week. I really like the Prime hockey that just came out and the Tier One baseball as well. So I got into a couple of breaks this past week. The results were

Prime (I got randomed the Bruins)

Michael Hutchinson jumbo jersey 60/99
Michael Hutchinson RC Quad jersey autograph 227/249
