Not a bad box overall. The box topper was good however I don't really collect these since I find them a little awkward of an insert. I really just have no idea what to do with these other than put them aside in a box.  The Gunnar rookie was nice even though just a base. But I'm really pleased with the Buster Posey Black Foil.

Last, bo x number 4 of the 4.  Last but not least. This was the box that I was most excited about.  I have never purchased a jumbo before was was excited to have one box that had a guaranteed autograph.  Others were on sale but this jumbo had the right rookie class so I decided to test my luck.

Rip 9: Mailday

I think maildays are considered rips too, aren't they?  Well I got a card on a whim specifically because it brought back some memories of when I first got into sports during the 2000 Super Bowl.  In scouring eBay I found some cards that actually looked quite nice and thought I would try to complete my foursome of the 2000 Rams that I recall cheering on during the Super Bowl. I bought this cards for around $15 which was a little more than I was comfortable with but still seemed like a cool cards and I good start to get the remaining 3: Isaac Bruce, Kurt Warner, and Marshall Faulk.  I hope to get the other 3 soon at a decent price.  Trying to be patient and hopefully won't just jump the gun and buy them.  Despite not being as connected to Tory Holt as compared to the other 3 players, this card is even more beautify in person than on the screen. I am very happy with this cards and hope to continue!
