After looking around, this is what I liked the best:
1992 Score series 1
1996 Emotion-XL
1997 Metal Universe
1998 SPx
2002 Upper Deck Vintage
2003 Topps Chrome
Again, I was looking for sets with well designed base cards and inserts and were "budget" friendly.
Here's what I was thinking for calling teams. It will be a "first to comment" set up. Whoever comments with their pick first will get that team. I will schedule a post for Monday at 9pm EST for everyone to call teams. I wanted to try for a time when I thought most people will be home from work/school etc. Remember, this is 100% free for you guys! You don't have to send checks or cards to secure a spot, nor do you need to be a follower of the blog to join (although it'd be nice :p).
The catch (you knew there had to be one):
I call shotgun on the Mets. HOWEVER, I'm sure there will be doubles from these boxes, plus I have my fair share of Met doubles so the spot will still be open to anyone who would like it. Whoever calls the Mets spot will get all the doubles from the boxes as well as some extra from me!
Diamondbacks and Rays- Since your pickings here will be very limited, I will hook you up with any extra cards I have of them. Base, auto game used, whatever I've got!
Also, whoever calls the Dodgers, I would like any Piazza cards that get pulled. If there are doubles, of course you will get them. I am completely willing to make up whatever Piazza loss with extra Dodgers cards and/or cards for your PC if I have any.
In the '92 Score, if we happen to stumble upon a miracle and pull any of the Autos, they will be randomed off amongst everyone.
Let me know how this sounds! Is it fair, does it sound right, should I do this or that?

ReplyDeleteI'll put a note on pc screen so I remember!
ReplyDeleteI'll be at work, but hopefully I'll remember. That's OK with the Piazzas.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to it, now I just have to figure out whether I want Met doubles or some other team. Tough but fun decision.
