Thorzul May Group Break Results & June Reminder

Hi guys. Just a reminder that Thorzul still has a few spots open in his June Group Break. We've been doing his breaks for awhile now including last month. Here's some of our loot from his May group breaks.

First - Cards from the Cheapo Group Break. We had the Cardinals and Yankees. The Yankees are up for trade. A Luddwick Finest Refractor, two Ankiel's, and nice looking Matt Morris insert.

Two numbered Giambi’s

And now the May Group Break. We had the Cardinals and Twins.

2005 National Pastime Pujols numbered 1 /2001 and base card.

And a Kent Hrbek Sweet Spot Jersey card that’s headed to David over at http://mmmrhubarb.wordpress.com/

Hobby Shop Mystery Pack

My principal works at a hobby shop on the weekends. We went to the shop last weekend and picked up a few Cardinals, a pack of Bowman, and a mystery pack. The mystery pack is a brown lunch bag containing twenty cards and random relics or autographs.

This pack had a bunch of cards but no Cardinals and these two hits.

2005 Turkey Red Mark Mulder Jersey Card


2000 Diamond Authentics Jesse Ibarra Autograph. Here’s his claim to fame.

2009 Signature Stars Box Break

My dad found a box of this on sale and gave it to me because he lost our bet. He bet me I couldn’t get to 500 reading counts points this year. The previous Third Grade record in my school was 300. I made it all the way to 513 points. Only two sixth graders had more points than me and they were over 600.

This was a bad box: two USA jersey cards, one USA jersey + auto (a repeat player!) and one average MLB auto. At least there were lots of Cardinals and a Lincecum and Markakis.

Trever Bauer and Chad Bettis jersey cards


Chad Bettis (again!) Jersey Autograph


Matt Tolbert Autograph


These are all up for trade.

Catching Up On 2011 Gypsy Queen & Heritage

We forgot to scan these at the time but here are a few more Gypsy Queen cards. All are for trade.

Robinson Cano Bat Card. I pulled this on my birthday at the Cardinals game. My dad brought a rack pack to the game and this was in it.


Jayson Werth Jersey & Kevin Youkilis Sepia Mini 74 of 99. These were pulled out of the same hobby pack.


Thurmon Munson Frame 31 of 999. Can’t remember how we got this one.


Jim Thome Bat Card. This came from a hobby box.

2006 SPX Adam Wainwright Auto

The latest addition to our Adam Wainwright Rooking collection:

Numbered 350 of 999.

Lucky Pack Break

Our favorite hobby shop moved last week but my dad took me to the new location yesterday for supplies and a few packs. He didn't have as many packs but I picked up a 2011 Topps Pro Debut, a 2011 Bowman,  and a 2010 Upper Deck Series 1. The new location is also close to a coin shop that sells cards so we stopped there on the way home. The owner is nice and discounts older packs. I got a 2009 Piece of History, a 2009 Icons, and a 2009 Goudey.

Here's the pack break:

2006 Topps Finest Adam Wainwright Rookie Auto

Added to our Wainwright rookie collection a few weeks ago thru a cheap, three card lot from a new seller. I think a lot of folks were turned off by the new seller’s lack of feedback so the bidding was at a minimum.


The other two cards in the lot. Nelson Cruz Rookie Auto. Ryan Garko Rookie Auto Refractor 366 / 399. Both are up for trade.
