Was this from blowout?

Yes. If you ordered a case, and don't get one of the memorabilia items, I hope you have some Advil handy. Let's put it this way. For the GU cards, Marat Safin cards are numbered to 500. I have 6 of them.... Autos are like Todd Widom, Luis Horna, Chela, Zvonareva, Cliff Drysdale. Dual autos are Anna Groenfeld/Eva Birnerova 80/260 and Srebotnik/Peschke 132/260. The ONLY, and I mean ONLY case card is an Agassi auto 25/25....

ouch -- my case is waiting for me. So what about the signed match-used tennis balls - 1:11 boxes? Those stunk too?

MikeB · 08-30-2007, 03:49 PM

I wound up with 2 of the auto balls. Both the same player, Robby ??????. Can't make out the last name on the handwritten sticker ot the ball. Hafta do a search for something comparable. Robby G/something. I can only hope my Signa Cuts and Razor Poker cases are a whole lot better when they come out.

Sticker on the ball?

Robby Ginepri? That sucks that you got 2 of the same autos ... I got Jim Courier and Justine Henin. Lots of Sharapova stuff ... but not thrilled with the product.
The sticker is on the 'ball cube' display case.

Tim · 08-30-2007, 04:06 PM

TimC - why aren't you thrilled? If there's lots of Sharapova stuff, that can't be bad. And you got two auto balls -- one very good and one decent. Just curious why you aren't happy. I am about to tear into mine in a couple hours.

My primary disappointment was the fact that all of the cards in this product are leftovers from previously released products ... I was not aware of that .. so nothing actually 'new' for the tennis collector. The match used balls are mostly from the Acura and the Hall of Fame tourneys .. I was hoping for more of a spread out selection. I guess it just wasn't as exciting as I thought it would be and I would be surprised if it's a big money maker.

Yeh, the autos on the balls are barely legible, the cards, as stated previously, are left overs, lots of Maria and Andre but they are really common cards. I actually wasn't doing this to make anything, just wanted to try something different, maybe get a decent item for myself but AAARRRGGGHHH! If you want to check the autos, the ID is baycop, listed them all just to get rid of them. The only happy people will probably be those that get some memorabilia. Good luck to all, hope someone here gets the grand prize.
