wow its been a long time since i last posted...i havent looked at my cards in like a year or two, ive kinda been out of it. but im pretty sure I have a nice Topps Pristine RC of Cano. Back a long time ago I know they were selling very well. I'll get back to you after work. I'm always looking for pirates prospects, preferably not pitchers.

2007 Topps Finest JaMarcus Russell Black XFractor AUTO/10

All the shops around me have closed down within the past couple years. Although I do have one shop to add to the list that is the closest one to me:

"K&L Cards"
8949 E. Washington Street
Indianapolis, IN 46219

It's been awhile since I have been in there but from the few times I have been there it has seemed like a nice little place to buy the latest boxes and some old ones as well. Its in a flea market. The guy there has this cool thing where you put a dollar down and you roll these dice. If you get a certain roll, you get a certain type of card, e.g. if you get lucky you can get a 25 dollar BV card for 1 dollar. It is a very small space, he has baseball, football, basketball, and a little hockey. He has some nice singles but not a lot to see. he sells the latest lower end stuff pack by pack as well. Prices are reasonable for a shop, so if your ever in Indianapolis and wanting to bust something, this place should be perfect.

I dont know about you guys, but it is impossible to find ANY card shops within 30-40 minutes of where I live. 6 or 7 years ago there were at least 3 within 20 minutes. It has kind of pushed me out of collecting as I am a high school student going into college with a lot more on my mind than searching for shops....

I have been out of the card thing for about a year or so and ive been wanting to break a box of something. I was wondering if anybody new of any good sports card shops in San Jose, CA. Anywhere near Santa Cruz would work as well.

Thanks,
Wes

onto the bowman packs 1-4:
Felix Jones RC
Steve Slaton RC

Marcus Monk RC/149
###### the flynn card

Darrell Strong RC/999
Tony Romo/249
Dontrell Savage RC/249
Malcolm Kelly Jumbo Jsy 06/50

crap, the flynn is damaged also..I'll have to contact donruss about this. Oh man, they ruined such a great card.

Leaf R+S pack 1-3:
very interesting first 3 packs:
Brandon Jacobs parallel 234/249
Brandon Jacobs blue parallel 24/149
Clinton Portis Jsy (damaged) 248/350
MATT FLYNN auto with a Tiger and Jsy 5/5

The Flynn is sick, I'll scan it after I'm done, but the Portis came in the same pack damaged, which was really weird. Oh well, next 3 packs.

They have finally come!!

First, the free SPX Basketball pack:
Dwayne Wade
Gerald Wallace
Tony Parker
Gabe Pruitt freshman orientation jsy(green)

well, at least it was free

Well, the last post 3 days ago was a fluke because apparently New Year's Eve Day is now a holiday. So I will be getting my boxes in today, hopefully soon and I will break them live! Stay tuned!

Thanks,
Wes

ya it does....this sucks. I order the package last friday too.

Can't I go pick it up then?
or something?
it says that only air packages willl not be delivered

They should be coming sometime today:
1 box 08 Gridiron Gear FB
1 box 08 Bowman FB
1 box 08 Leaf Rookies and Stars Longevity
1 pack 07-08 SPX basketball

This all cost me under $140, a great deal from dacardworld. You guys should check it out. Its under football combo boxes, plus the pack was free!

aceecards is the winner! Congratulations and thanks for playing everyone!

I am going to start tonight with the TCU/Boise State game. I will provide a couple free cards of alumni from either TCU or Boise State (probably some LT cards). I will also through in some nice playoff prestige RC cards and possibly some nice #'ed stuff as well.
Here are the rules:
1. Guess the total score
2. Guess each team's score
3. Total passing yards
This should determine our winner. If somebody guesses dead on for total passing yards, then I will provide a free mystery jsy or auto card! A potentially nice one as well.

Notable players:
Sammy Baugh
Bob Lilly
AARON SCHOBEL
LADAINIAN TOMLINSON
JEB PUTZIER
DEREK SCHOUMAN
KOREY HALL
LEGEDU NAANEE
ORLANDO SCANDRICK

It start tonight at 8. I won't be taking anything past 7:30. Good Luck!

Thanks,
Wes

P.S.
I will try to do this for some of the other bowl games as well.

Recieved! Thanks!

Wes
