Totally un-related to any of this...my incredible luck with my review boxes continues.

Posted by Jim (aka Jim) Aug 1 '12, 10:06

After pulling the ARod rip card #/10 from Allen & Ginter...I ripped a box of Showcase Racing last night and pulled a triple relic of Richard Petty (firesuit, hat, glove) #/50 and then a relic/auto of Petty (firesuit) #/25.

It's been a good week of ripping!!

When you have a Pop Star Card box given to you, make sure to save all the relics for me! -- nm - MDH Aug 1, 10:14 1
- heh...will do. :) -- nm - Jim Aug 1, 10:14
I want to share in your excitement, but I have no idea what the hell you're talking about, chucklenut -- nm - Mr. Havens Aug 1, 10:08
Ok, I get that this are sport cards....I think. But what are "review boxes" and "rips/ripping/rip cards"? - musubi Aug 1, 10:07 14
- I assume "review boxes" are boxes given to Jim by the company to review (awesome) and ripping = opening the box - oblique Aug 1, 10:09 13
  - Companies give boxes away for review? Don't get me wrong, that's great for Jim, but that sounds kinda dumb. - musubi Aug 1, 10:11 1
    - Well, I'm a Moderator/Manager on a card trading site...and the review discusses - Jim Aug 1, 10:13
  - Wow...it's like you know. That's exactly what it is. These are free boxes sent to me by Topps and Press Pass... - Jim Aug 1, 10:10 10
    - Wouldn't it be in their best interest to load your boxes with primo primes, to secure a good review? -- nm - Mr. Havens Aug 1, 10:12 1
      - Shit dude...I'm getting free product, I do what I can to find the good angle on what they send me. - Jim Aug 1, 10:16
    - I'm baffled by this. What is there to review? - musubi Aug 1, 10:12 7
      - other card collectors out there are super anal about sets, so if they get bad reviews they won't buy it at all. - Remlik Aug 1, 10:19
      - "Design looks good, the player selection is good and the insert cards are interesting." -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 1, 10:13 4
        
        Yep. Card collectors are actually interested in this stuff. Are the autos On-Card or are they stickers? - Jim Aug 1, 10:14 3
        
        That's great for you, but I have to wonder how giving away a box is any different than the pictures on the box itself. - musubi Aug 1, 10:17 2
        
        Honestly, I have no idea. There are a handful of trading sites out there and Topps will hit us all with boxes. - Jim Aug 1, 10:19
        
        Not exactly....cardboard thickness...gloss type.....none of that shows on the photos off the boxes. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 1, 10:19
      - This is why I am confused. -- nm - MDH Aug 1, 10:13
