2004 Play Ball Pujols Relics

2004 Play Ball Albert Pujols Jersey numbered 14 of 50.

2004 Play Ball Pujols Jersey 14 of 50

This was a cheap ebay pick up last month. that was made even better when we found this card in the package. This is a 2004 Play Ball Pujols Bat card numbered 25 of 25. The seller included it as a freebie as the card was slightly damaged. You can barely make out a slight crease in the lower right point in the star.

Nachos Grande May Group Break

We had the Cardinals in Nachos Grande May Group Break and he really, really came through for us. If you follow his blog at all you probably know all about this card but I wanted to post a bigger picture of it here. Its really is awesome. His 2002 Stadium Club box was loaded with Cardinals and it starts here:

2002 Albert Pujols Clubhouse Exclusive Dual Relic – The odds of pulling this type of card are 1 in 2073 packs. The odds of getting this Pujols card must be crazy!
2002 Stadium Club Pujols Dual Bat Jersey

If that weren’t enough, the box also had this Jim Edmonds Born In The USA jersey card.
2002 Stadium Club Edmonds Jersey

There were also three gold cards. These are thicker than the regular cards and have gold lettering. (Dad – The third card was J. D. Drew. Drew wore the Birds on the Bat but he was never a Cardinal. The best thing he ever did for us was play lousy enough to be traded for Adam Wainwright. I’ve decided to impose a J. D. Drew quota on this blog. Maximum of one J. D. Drew card per year. Scroll down for 2011’s card.)

Nachos also opened three other boxes. These are my first 2000 Topps Tek cards.

2008 Albert Pujols Stadium Club Stadium Slices

We have Pujols jersey and bat cards but how cool is this? This is a Stadium Slices relic from  2008 Topps Stadium Club with a piece of the blue outfield wall from the old Yankee Stadium! The card actually looks even better in person.

2011 Topps Tribute Cardinals

We picked up a couple of Topps Tribute Cardinals a few weeks ago. I can’t believe there are really packs and boxes that cost this much! Glad we found these singles.

More Pujols Rookie Cards

I picked up this three card lot on ebay last month for way less than the $35 – $40 local shops are asking for Albert’s 2001 Topps Stars card alone.

I’m not really sure if the Fleer Platinum counts as a rookie card or not. I’m posting both Fleer cards to show that the blue blemish looks like a consistent printing issue.

Gyspy Queen Hobby Box Break

My Dad surprised me with a Gypsy Queen Hobby Box last week that he bought when it first came out. He has some really good hiding places in the house because I did not know about this one. Like a lot of these boxes, our box only had one of the two autos so we'll be sending in the UPC for the second autograph.

Here's what we got...
Framed cards. Pujols, Ruth and Hornsby… as a Cub?!?!?

Our relics – Another Gehrig Jersey!!!

We were also lucky enough to get another printing plate. This time it’s a Pee Wee Reese Yellow Printing Plate 1 of 1. Like the Cody Ross plate I pulled on my birthday, it was in the same pack as the Hanson jersey card.

These are up for trade for similar Cardinals you may have. Thanks.

Birthday Box - 2006 Upper Deck Ovation

This is the second box my Grandma gave me for my birthday. My dad gave me a box at the Winter Warm Up this year and I got a great Ken Griffey Jr. autograph. I also have cool Chien Ming Wang and Miguel Cabrera autographs from Ovation boxes. This box had another Cabrera auto (the wrong one), a scuffed HOF jersey card, an extra numbered rookie card, and a Pujols insert I didn’t have yet. Everyone but Albert is up for trade.

Flea Market Packs

We go to the flea market everyone month. My favorite booth is a guy who lets you roll dice for prizes like packs and blaster boxes. My sister is really good at guessing her last roll and got me an extra blaster prize. I got a ton of stuff last month that we video taped but our video was too long for YouTube. Here are some cards from last month’s prize packs.

2001 Topps Gallery Video Box Break

Here’s Isaac’s 2nd try at a video box break. I wanted to get him an Albert Pujols rookie card for his birthday but thought it would be more fun if he actually pulled the card from a fresh pack. I found a 2001 Topps Gallery Hobby Box for a good price on ebay and pulled the trigger. It wasn’t until *after* the box arrived that I realized that the rookie cards were short printed and inserted 1:6 packs or so. Gulp… Let’s see what’s in that box. Isaac, take it away!
