Redemptions Redemptions Redemptions!

    Hey guys, I had some friends ask me how to get their redemption(s) in a fashionable time. There are 2 "rules" when it comes to Redemptions. First, "hot" players and "legends" take longer then "regular" players to sign their cards. Second, after 4 months, you can choose a alternate player to replace your original redemption player. I am in the process of waiting on 3 redemptions as we speak. My advice to you guys is call twice a week, asking about your redemption(s). Everytime I call the manufacturers, they put me on hold to check to see if the card(s) have been signed. Only once have they actually said, "your card has been signed and will be shipped today", unfortunately it wasnt the card I wanted. So if you have a Koby Bryant or Magic Johnson, expect it to take the full length of time (can be up to 2-4 years) the manufacturers state.

Hits from the 2009 Donruss Americana!

Judy Garland/Mickey Rooney: Film-Worn Apperal

I actually gave my grandparents the cards b/c they were fans of the people that were on the cards. Give me a couple days to get some pics of the cards and I will post them asap!

My (1) hit from the Panini 2010-11 Absolute Memorabilia!

  Hey guys, if you haven't tried out the Absolute Memorabilia product line, then this should be on your bucket list! The base cards are stunning with the "refractive" backgrounds and some very nice parallels. I always enjoy a product that guarantees a nice auto or relic card. So here is the box break down of this product:

BOX BREAK:
- 20 cards
- 2 Autographs
- 2 Memorabilia Cards
- 4 Inserts
- 1 Retired

 Here is my hit from the only pack the card shop had left:

Rookie Premiere Materials: Paul George Auto (309 of 499)

On a side note guys, this product comes in retail and hobby versions, what you have just seen is the Hobby pack known by Panini as the "Pillow" packaging. Retails packs are just normal looking packaging found on just about all wax packs you find on today's market. This Product sells online for around $120.00 and about $160.00 at the card shops in my local towns. Thanks guys for your time! Talk with ya soon!

Coming Soon! Review of 2010-11 Panini Absolute Memorabilia!!

Review of 2009-10 Panini Court Kings

Hey guys, just got in a shipment today and here is the review! 1 pack, 11 cards!

Box Break: (4) Autograph or Memorabilia cards (at least one autograph), (3) commons #'d to 325, (1) bronze parallel, and (1) 5x7 Box Topper #'d to 349 in every box!

Court Kings offers a good mix of memorabilia cards and parallels, the cards are like paintings, wich seperates this product from 90% of whats on the market. I think you will be impressed with a box of Court Kings. Stay tuned for the hits I pulled from this product!!

Review of 2009-10 Panini Crown Royale Basketball!

   Hey guys, this is a review of 2009-10 Panini Crown Royale basketball hobby box. These cards are hands down the most vivid, colorful and a favorite amongst collectors.
