Posted by: Cardman123 Sep 21 2012, 05:56 PM
Eagerly awaiting my UPS delivery. Will be doing a 9-box case of 2012 Triple Threads baseball and will be doing box by box updates here as I do. Hopefully case will get here soon and it will be a nice one. Hoping to grab some nice stuff for my PC.
Wish me luck and follow along if you would like!

That one was good. Love the Gary Carter.

Me too....I think that is my only auto of him, and probably the last product that will have his auto in it.

Going to take intermission for a couple of hours after that last one. Wife just got home and we are going out to dinner. Be back later with the last five boxes.

THE HITS

Thanks for checking out the break everyone. As usual with TTT, the boxes can be very hit or miss. Overall, I think last year's boxes were a little more consistent, but some of the hits coming out of this year's stuff is pretty sick.
It seems like this year, the box is either really good, or just so-so. I would put 3 of the 9 in this case as good or really good, and the rest were just okay. I don't think I would spring for another case, but I think it would definitely be worth the gamble to buy some single boxes here or there and hope to hit something really nice.
Thanks again for checking it out. I'm definitely looking forward to busting a case of Five Star next month, barring any production delays.
See ya!!!
-Joe

Agreed Kev....I really like the Carter auto, but the Heyward is pretty sick as well, and I'm pretty happy with the triple auto and of course, the Garvey 1/3.

Joe.. normally its hard to make me jealous of a baseball break.. but man, this is awesome! Congrats on the mojo! 
Posted by: aceecards Sep 22 2012, 07:29 AM
well the second half reminded me of a blowout super bowl loss but those 1st 4 were killer
Posted by: THUNDER9 Sep 22 2012, 11:28 AM
Nice break - thanks for sharing. Would love a shot at the Heyward but wish it wasn't a 1/1
Posted by: pwolantern Sep 22 2012, 02:01 PM
Nice break, please let me know if you want to move the Verlander.
Posted by: 5toosweet Sep 22 2012, 02:57 PM
Nice break overall. Not that impressed with this years TTT.
Posted by: tj4eck Sep 22 2012, 05:20 PM
PM me about the Jason Heyward, I might know someone who wants it.
Posted by: Luke2411 Sep 22 2012, 08:15 PM
I'm interested in the Andrus if you want to move it.
Thought it was a so-so break too. There were a few really nice cards, but most of the boxes were meh. Still fun to open that much at one time.
Posted by: Cardman123 Sep 22 2012, 11:51 PM
Thanks Mark! This stuff is nice, but I am hoping Five Star Baseball will blow it out of the water.
Posted by: 5pujols5 Sep 23 2012, 02:06 PM
Congratulations Joe!!! Love the stuff. Would be interested in the Lance Lynn if you wanted to deal. Love they Heyward and Carter, and congrats on the triple! Reminded me of old times!!! LOL
