im in for one case right now but may pick up one or two more cases from blowout but was wondering from those who have already opened or you non-sports experts, would that be a wise investment right now or should i just stick with one case? thanks in advance.

This is one of Mark McHaley's cards, he had Hayden Panettiere sign 3 of his returned cards, one of which she got to keep. This will sell for a ton:

That is an awesome card! Thanks for sharing.

i deserve no special treatment...i pay the same prices for cases everyone here does, always have, even if i order 15-50 cases...i have bought more from chris throughout the year than just about anyone, and i do not get cases early...
i say this because this is why chris is the best, he is consistent and faithful

yet i am unsure as to why product after product people get cases so much earlier, if they are closer to ship location, it would be best if they did not get theirs until release date too

here's the issue i have even if people do not list early, getting it one day early allows research, opening, sorting, scanning, so that is ready for release date

this is not a complaint or a plea for faster shipping, lol
more of why do so many get it so early? wherever they get their stuff from....

Tony, do like me, and have cases shipped to alternate location so someone can sign for you...

I am thinking about having them shipped to work. I have used up quite a few half days of vacation over the past couple of years, lol.

I just wish I had a shot at it but seeing as it is already at $350 after just 2 hours it's already a wee bit high for me.

if you have your cases shipped to a UPS store (like i've done in the past), just let them know in advance, and you pay them 5 bucks and you'll get your cases with no worries.

Im usually always last to get cases as my distributor delivers on Fridays, doesnt really bother me that much although it is annoying to finally get a nice card only to find out it wouldve sold for 15-30 dollars higher 2 days before. Oh well though.

Worst Heroes sketch ever!

After seeing some of the sketches that were rejected for this set that I think were very good how could this possibly get through the approval process? Thank god I didn't pull it, I couldn't even bring myself to sell something this bad, I'd just have myself a little sketch card bonfire.
