This is going to be anticlimactic, so let's just do it.
I can't believe no one picked the Phillies. Even Roy seems a bit disheartened.
Mark Aubrey, aka the Commish, wins the big one...or maybe it's just this Justin Masterson full size jersey relic.
The final hit was another framed mini jersey relic. It was damaged pretty badly on the bottom so I'm trying to get Topps to replace it. If (and when) they do, I'll give it out according to the list above.
Overall, the box wasn't that great. No hand numbered minis, no autos, no 1/1 card in the lid. Just three plain jersey relics. It was however, VERY much appreciated and I thank TOPPS and Mark Aubrey again for the prize.
my question mark came from the idea that i am not sure the twins are considered a major league team anymore.
ReplyDeleteOuch. So sad. They are my second favorite team.
DeleteDang it. I would have won, but it's an artifact and a dang Phillie so glad I didn't. I seriously was going to say Philly but with all the entries there I could have sworn I saw it mentioned, plus I really didn't want to win a Phillies hit. I think there were only two teams not guessed.
ReplyDeleteHey! You said there was a hit from each league and NO WHERE did it say you may only pick ONE team....
ReplyDeleteTrue to form though.... even with two teams, I still struck out.
Thank you. It's hard work being me.
You are right of course. I did say one and not the other.
Delete"Metsies" (from Urban Dictionary): An alternative name that refers to the New York Mets, almost exclusively used by fans of the team. To be used in a loving, playful way, with hints of desperation, despair, and hopelessness.
ReplyDeleteAlso, Keith Hernandez calls them the Metsies in his broadcasts all the time.
It fits. I shall use it in the future. We don't get Keith and his broadcasts down this far south.
DeleteThat looked just like my one box of A&G this year.
ReplyDeletecan't believe I missed that post!! cause you know me and my Phils!! Oh well, been a bit under the weather this week and haven't spent much time on the computer!!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe I let Mark beat me to that !!
ReplyDeleteCongrats to you Sir !
You snooze, you lose. I was going to pass it on to David, but maybe I'll let you two fight over it. Amuse me.
DeleteI actually have another that I pulled from a blaster. I'll let you give yours to Davis and I'll hook up dad.
DeleteThat works for me, but I really wanted them to fight over it.
DeleteWell, for what it's worth, I got mentioned in a post at PATP. That's worth something, right?
ReplyDeleteand I would like to make a trade for that Halladay if it's available... just let me know what you are looking for and I'll find it...
ReplyDeleteSomething Ranger flavored would do nicely.
DeleteI can get my grubby little paws on a Fleer Freshink Ruben Mateo auto or a Doug Davis SPX auto. Either one of those work for you?
