Break Results
So UPS delivered my two boxes of cards about 15 minutes before I left for work on Thursday morning. I had an event at church that evening after work and didn't get home until 8:30 which means I didn't start breaking until close to 9:00 that night! My scanner is still down but I wanted to post some results tonight. I'll have a post coming soon that will be NOTHING but pictures to go with the post that I've previously made.
2008 Razor Letterman
Five packs of one autographed manufactured letterman card. Possible numbered cards of /1, /5, /10 and /20.
As I mentioned before I got two boxes of each product. In Letterman I was looking for a Hosmer or two and whatever else I can use as trade bait. I don't think I did too bad in the long run here. The non-numbered cards are single colored while the /20 have a dual blue border with a red letter. I got six regular and four numbered to 20. The best one I pulled is probably Pedro Alvarez of the Pirates. I did get one Royal, but not the one I was looking for. I pulled a Tim Melville #1/20. Also got Yonder Alonso (Reds), Michael Inoa (A's), David Cooper (Blue Jays), Justin Smoak (Rangers), Brian Matusz (O's)....I'm looking at you Beardy!! Jeremy Beckham #19/20 (Rays), Bobby Lanigan #7/20 (Twins) and Carlos Gutierrez #2/20 (Twins). The only two going in the PC are the Melville and the Alvarez (for now) and the rest are available.
2009 Razor Ink Vault
One unopened Inkworks box and three sealed Inkworks autographs.
I LOVE this product. The main problem is I can't justify spending $55 a box to get it. At $30 a box I wish I could have ordered a case. My two inner boxes weren't the best but were fun to open. I got Journey to the Canter of the Earth 3D and 4400 Season 2. I opened both and got from JttCotE a pieceworks card of Anita Briem as Hannah. From the 4400 box I pulled a Jeffrey Combs auto and a pieceworks of Sean Tyson as Gabriel. The Combs is a great pull as he has appeared in every Star Trek series and the Re-Animator movies. However I already had one so this one is again some nice trade bait and is already spoken for. My six sealed autos were the highlight by far. I got two from Smallville of Sheriff Nancy Adams (A17) and Jerry Wesserman (A45), one from Charmed of Dorian Gregory as Darryl (A2) and one from The 4400 of Natasha Gregson Wagner as April Skouris (A15). The last two are for the PC.... from Firefly and Serenity I got a Gina Torres as Zoe and the hit of the boxes Jewel Staite as Kaylee! The Gina is the Serenity version and the Jewel is the Firefly version. Firefly is one of my all-time favorite TV shows and I now have half of the main casts autographs. The Jewel Staite is actually a double for me but I'm hard pressed to put in on the trade block. If I was offered say a Nathan Fillion in return I wouldn't turn that down but it's going to have to be a good offer for me to think about parting ways.
2009 Upper Deck Philadelphia
Got two of the 5x7 box toppers like I was supposed to. The second box actually had a case hit! An autograph 5x7 of Malcolm Jenkins. Not a bad start. I pulled 31 SP's and should have only pulled 30 so got an extra one there. I got the correct amount of the mini cards at 8. My jersey cards are nice as well. Philly at least used some color in their swatches. The only white one is of Brandon Edwards. I also pulled red jersey pieces of Tony Gonzalez and Lee Evans and a purple swatch of Chester Taylor. The first autograph I pulled is actually a redemption. This made me a bit nervous since the last one I tried to redeem had to be replaced. Upper Deck won't have to replace this one as they still have autographs of Brandon Marshall in stock. The second autograph is even better since it's another case hit! I managed to get a 1935 National Chicle rookie autograph of Darrius Heyward-Bey. OK so not the best rookie but still a hard pull. If you're keeping track that means I pulled BOTH case hits out of the same box. The 5x7 and the 1935 autograph! Thank you Blowout Cards!! Everything but the Taylor is available out of the Philly.
I'm still waiting for my sketch packs from Sadlittles but that's not a bad thing since I don't have a scanner right now and it's hard to just describe a sketch card! Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Redemption Update
As I mentioned in the previous post I received a redemption out of our Philly case split for Joey Porter. Well today I put in the code to see when I would get my card. Scrolled down and see the infamous words..... "Inventory depleted. Please contact customer service for exchange." So now I get to call UD in the morning and see what they can offer me instead of Mr. Porter. I'm going to shoot for a current Viking, maybe Allen, Greenway or Gerhart. I'll keep you guys updated on the progress.

The Week In Review Cardboard Style
So this has been a fairly fun week for me with all the stuff I've gotten. I had my three boxes of the new Star Wars release that I had pre-ordered get here on Friday. I got my packs of the new 5finity release Hack/Slash on Monday and today I got my box from I Am Joe Collector with the results of the Philadelphia case split. Good Lord I'm not even sure where to start.... ok, let's go from today backwards.
Philadelphia case results. As I'm sure many of you saw we got an amazing case of Philly. It included autos of Harvin, Allen and Sanchez. Unfortunately in the randomization process I didn't end up with any of them, oh well. I did get the 5x7 box topper auto of Brandon Pettigrew and regular autos of Matt Forte and Jerry Porter, who is a redemption for some reason. No huge names on the jersey cards but I did get one of the buybacks. A 1964 cards of the Giants Dick Lynch. It's not a valuable card by any means but I love buybacks. I'm hoping to either get in another case split or save up enough to get a case for myself sometime. I really like the design of the '09 Philly, and I have a bunch of short-prints I still need to finish out my set.
So now on the Friday. I had pre-ordered three boxes of Star Wars The Clone Wars: Rise of the Bounty Hunters a couple months ago and they finally showed up. The cards to look for are the one per box sketch cards and if you're lucky you might get an extra hit of an animator sketch. I pulled everything I was supposed to and no extra cards. My sketches were all nice but I would have liked more color in them. I pulled a Shelli Paroline, a Lawrence Snelly and a Brent Engstrom. Brent's card was my favorite but was also damaged by the infamous roller at Topps. No damage to the sketch itself but something like that should NEVER happen. I'm not sending the card in to be replaced instead selling it as is on E-bay. I might pick up a few favorite cards but I'm not planning on any more boxes of this. I'll be saving for the Galaxy 6 release coming in 2011.
Now back to Monday and Hack/Slash. This is 5finity's newest release based off of a comic series. It's not a series I'm very familiar with so I actually picked up a couple back issues last month to see why Steve and 5finity chose their subject. The main characters are Cassie Hack and her partner Vlad who hunt slashers, click here for more info on the comic. I ordered five packs and pulled five great cards. 5finity gets some of the best artists and work out there for their sets. I pulled cards by Mike Norton, Josh Flower, Jon Riggle, Robin Thompson and rare artist Tony Scott. The Thompson and the Scott are my favorites. The Riggle made me laugh when I pulled it since Jon is know for his female drawings more then his male. I mentioned this to him the other night and he commented back that he figured he'd get that response to the Vlad's that he drew. It's a great card either way and I can't wait to see more of his work for official sketch card sets.
I also picked up a few more of the Topps Chrome football value packs and a couple blasters. Nothing real huge in the value packs but do now have a completed page of the orange refractors. In the blasters I got all kinds of x-fractors and managed to pull a purple refractor of Percy Harvin then in the last pack I got a great surprise, one MOJO should be familiar with, an Aaron Hernandez autograph! Can't argue with that at all. Hernandez is playing well and I got a hobby box hit at less then half the price. Here's a look at the auto and a couple completed pages of joy from Chrome.
Hope everybody else had as good of a week as I've had this past one. Now if the Giants can finish out this last half inning I'll even had the World Series I want to see. (Thanks to the Rangers for beating the "Best Team Money Can Buy"!!) Oh.... and GO VIKINGS!!
