pretty cool Too bad no auto.

 

[sliqwill]

only ended up with 5 base sets, thanks to Katie Hoff, which is one that i was missing from the first 10 blasters...
i do have an additional 5 sets of presidents, which is the only ones that ive gotten into turbolister of yet

no complete insert sets yet either...

have i mentioned how bad i want a promo to hit to see how these sell? id like to be able to just flip the base and inserts (that i dont want for the ladies line) to be able to pay for the blasters and then figure out what i want to do with the relics at a later date because they are pretty cool

 

[sliqwill]

someone stop me...

just ordered another 30, takes me up over $600 spent at DACW in the past 3 weeks...and what is bad about this, is that ill go through at least 50 toploaders again, need to start selling and cutting back on these things...they are like those devil cases of 1997 Scoreboard Rookies that I got a couple people hooked on a couple years ago...

at least im starting to feel a bit better, as ive had this nasty cold for going on a week now, and im skipping my nephews bday party since I don't want to infect the kids with this....I guess that will give me time, provided im not hacking up a lung tomorrow, to finish off what came in last week...I currently have NOTHING inbound from eBay, which is weird...

I figure after these 30 ill be done...it should get me up to 15 sets....now its just selling stuff...

Whats the going rate for one of your extra base sets?

 

[sliqwill]

Whats the going rate for one of your extra base sets?

they do $10-$15 on ebay shipped, I can do $12, of if you are just looking for certain folks I can go that route, I imagine you can find a checklist somewhere, I can do Presidents sub base set, I can do US Womens Soccer sub base set, I can do Tuskegee Airmen sub base set, or Astronauts sub base set, I do not have extra sub base of Olympians at this point, as Katie Hoff is holding me up, shes a swimmer...

if you are into inserts, I don't have any complete sets, but I do have some extra singles
