Outline · [ Standard ] · Linear+ 2012 Topps Archives SUPER MOJO PULL OF MY LIFE!!!!

[Luke2411]

I thought I would do this thread like they do over on the Blowout forums whenever they pull some awesome card. So, first I had to make the title all "Blowouty." Now for the rest of the post...


So, I stopped by the LCS today to check out the 2012 Topps Archives. I busted one box and this is what I got...


Bake McBride on-card Auto


Carney Lansford on-card Auto

and then I pulled one for the old PC:


Yu Darvish RC


So, I'm thinking that since it says 2 autos per box, I'm done with the hits. Pulled some nice parallels, SPs, and inserts. But apparently this was a special box, because it had 3 autographs in it....














































































Wait for it...



































































Yeah, HIT OF MY LIFE, SUPER MAJOR AWESOME MOJO!!!!!!!!



























































BRYCE HARPER FAN FAVORITES AUTOGRAPH REDEMPTION!!!!!!!

HOLY COW!!! IT'S SURFING ON EBAY RIGHT NOW.

HOW MUCH DO YOU GUYS THINK IT WILL GO FOR????


Ok, was that too "Blowouty"????

Oh no, it is all about the build up....


Very nice Jeremy, congrats....


I have noticed that every third to fourth box is yielding an extra auto from this product....

Lol, i thought i was never going to see it. (scroll scroll scroll) nice card

[Luke2411]

I never got into the whole Harperpalooza. I'm much more of a HOF/Retired player guy. So, it was not hard to decide what to do with this card. Had I pulled the Darvish auto that would have been a different story. I would have had to make a tough decision.

But, it wasn't, so easy decision to sell the Harper.

I haven't really done a lot of boxes in the last few years, mainly just some blasters from time to time, and a few specific boxes from the local card shop.

So, this was a nice surprise out of just 1 box.

That's what they do over there on the Blowout forums. Made me laugh doing it.

Holy COW!!

Yeah, sell that puppy now! One bad at bat and Harper's cards seem to take a hit with the down arrow. Funny thing, Bake McBride has one of the better signatures I've seen!

[pwolantern]

Great break, congrats!

[dd316]

Right on, congrats!


Did you happen to pull the Will Clark base?

[northicehero99]

Nice pull, congrats!

[ffman]

You surprised me, Jeremy. I was expected Hank Aaron, to be honest.

Bryce isn't bad though; you could probably buy an Aaron with the proceeds from that.

[Luke2411]

Right on, congrats!

I did, but his base is an SP. I put it up on the bay with the other ones I pulled. Trying to capitalize on that first couple of days of the product being out. If it doesn't sell, I'll send it your way.

[road_runner_1964]

Awesome pull....congrats.

Oh well, it does have a bid. I wonder how SP'ed these really are? Seems like Ebay is getting flooded with them.

Yeah, my guess is that they aren't going to be too hard to get. I think I pulled 5 in my box.

[Luke2411]

Well, I got $402 for the Harper. This sort of makes me mad. The last one that sold at auction went for $521 last night. However, this morning, some idiot posted his with BIN of $450. That effectively kills the market for anything above $450. Why do that? Why not post yours with a BIN around what the last one went for? Why intentionally lower the market value of the card? It's the old collective action dilemma. These are Bryce Harper autos. People are going to buy them. If all the sellers work together to maximize the price they can get, then all sellers win. But there's always some moron who is going to under price everyone else to make a quick buck because he couldn't afford to be busting the boxes in the first place. When he does that, he not only sells his card cheaper than what he could get for it, but he destroys the market for everyone else.

Capitalism and I have a love/hate relationship when it comes to the New York Yankees buying their World Series, morons, and trying to sell baseball cards.
