February 2012 Affordable Group Break - 2009 Topps Ticket to Stardom


This box I thought yielded better hits than our 2012 Topps Series 1 jumbo.  Just take a look!

This Dustin Pedroia auto relic is #d 216/489.  It's pretty sharp looking too.  I saw several less than stellar autos come out of this product so I was hoping we'd get a good one and I think that most would agree.

Next up is a dual relic with an embedded ticket stub...Prince Fielder #d 075/228!  You can see a small blue pinstripe on the piece of jersey to the left and the right has a small area of stitching.  Congrats cynicalbuddha!

This next relic I made a mistake with in the video.  I said it belongs to the Cubs.  It's part of the World Baseball Classic so it's not assigned to any team.  What we'll do is random the card to the teams that didn't get a hit...

...and the winner is 

...the Rockies!

Of course there were more cards in the box than just the 3 hits.  Here is a look at the other inserts pulled.

Big Ticket - Miguel Cabrera, Tim Lincecum & Dustin Pedroia


Ticket to Stardom -  Jay Bruce, Grady Sizemore, Joba Chamberlain, Joe Mauer, Cameron Maybin, Colby Rasmus (32/50) & Joey Votto (29/99)

And with that this wraps up this month's group break.  Thanks again to everyone that participated.  I hope to have all the cards in the mail this coming week.  Until next time!

  2. That's a pretty cool consolation prize. I knew nothing about Gourriel, but some people think he is the best player remaining in Cuba. He's 27 (well supposedly) and plays middle infield and third, so there is still a chance he could be a big leaguer one day. I would have preferred a Rockie, but I got to learn something new and the relic looks cool. Thanx.
