Box Break: 2011 Topps Series Two HTA.

So, Dr. Wax Battle had a cardshow in Toms River today. Got to meet The Doc, Fast Eddie, Johnny-G and the rest of The Backstop Posse.

Sooz from A Cardboard Problem was there too, along with her boyfriend. I believe that this may have been the first documented case of a female dragging along an uninterested boyfriend to a baseball cardshow*.

Anyway, I left my Big Book Of Wantlists back in Virginia, so I had to settle for wax. Lucky for you (and me) I was able to pick up this HTA box of the recently released Topps Series Two.



* I could be wrong about this. While I didn't see Sooz's better-half with any cards, he at least knew who Bryce Harper and Manny Machado were.

The Kinsler photo is from target field in Minnestoa. That Prime 9 is poorly thought through, as the closest HTA store to be is over an hour away and across the border. No way am i going to spend upwards of two hours and a bridge toll for these cards. Topps dropped the ball on that one.

PS It's JP Aaron-sea-be-ah, and nathan no it's not just you, but as you said good break.

FYI - He collects cards too. It's a love that keeps us together.

He's a Texas Rangers fan. He bought some Hamiltons while we there.

I agree about the "relic" card. That is like those manufactured patch cards with the team logo or the hat patch. Until that Manufactured glove strap card was pulled I thought that the bat card was the "relic" hit.

Some of those minis flew by too fast at normal speed I almost didn't see the Berra mini.
