Hey Tim. Not much in the rookies and stars box. Austin Pettis rookie patch auto and the A.J. Green dress for success. Other two hits were schmoos that I dont even remember their names. LOL. I stopped at Big Nicks on my way by and bought 5 packs of contenders, hit a Daniel Thomas redemption. Bought one pack of precision and the hit was Taylor Price auto (why this guy is considered a veteran hit is beyond me?) and decided to try my luck with a limited as well. Not so good again. Seau jersey, a London Fletcher Jumbo prime patch (all I could think was really??) and a clyde gates redemption. As I am opening this stuff I am thinking, It sure isnt as fun to open anything when it is a redemption. LOL. Anyways, I think I did ok on the box of contenders from the show. Looking at ebay the Bowers goes for about 35, Ingram about 50, Taylor about $20. Not sure on the other guys but am putting these guys up on there and going to order another box and hope for my Murray. LOL

Was good to see ya as well. Card shows are why I got into collecting. A bunch of folks shoot the sh** about our collecting enjoyments....sports and card. Yeah buddy. Before I forget, shoot me that 2010 finest xfractor list for that one guy as well. Hope I have something for him. Looking forward to setting up at the next show. Did I hear someone say pack wars???
