I'm going to be really cutting back on the money I spend on new cards for the next few months.
That means no more unopened packs in my monthly contests. Well, I probably won't be able to stick to that, but that is the plan right now. I'm trying to save my pennies for the end of the year prize, which all the monthly winners will be eligible to win. For the Sept-Dec contests, I'll be trying to find cards out of my collection to give away.
I asked the other day about this one and got no comments.
Would you be interested in getting this as a part of a prize pack?
In the unlikely event you haven't seen this, it's the Strasburg refractor from those goofy Topps "Value" Boxes.
I'll give everyone who voices an opinion one extra entry into September's contest.
Stephen's elbow blows out, and Topps is there to capture the moment!
ReplyDeleteSure, it is shiny and cool looking. Who would turn down an inset of a top prospect. And he is still a top prospect, as he should be able to come back from Tommy John surgery.
ReplyDeleteCause i don't own a Strasburg...:0
ReplyDeleteBelieve it or not, I still want a Strasburg rookie card. I hope he can come back and be successful, but even if he can't Strasburg will still be an interesting footnote in baseball history.
ReplyDeleteBesides, I don't currently own any of his cards.
I'm not big on Strasburg but I'd take it. It is certianly better than a Yankee card.
ReplyDeleteYeah, it'd be a cool card that many (most?) of us don't own.
ReplyDeleteYeah, that would be cool, even though I don't have anything of him, might as well try for one. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteNope, already got one.
ReplyDeleteYes, because I would never buy these value pack things that it came from and it's a good reminder that 2010 was the year of the Strasburg.
ReplyDeleteI'm like a crow; I never say no to shiny.
ReplyDeleteAm I the only collector left who's happy simply going after base sets? Frankly, I'd rather have a hit to my wantlist than something shiny.
ReplyDeleteI will say for sure on that. It may be the only way I get one of his cards since I am not a millionare, plus I love shiny cards too.
ReplyDeleteIf I didn't get one in the value pack I bought I'd say may have said yes.
ReplyDeleteI think it would be a cool card to have.
ReplyDeleteConsidering I don't have any of his cards, I'd love it
ReplyDeleteabsolutely. A nice shiny addition to the rc box...
ReplyDeleteNo more early entries. Thanks for playing along.
