CARDBOARD CONTEST!! Win This AWESOME Lot Of Topps Cards

Hey guys!
So far this year on the blog has been the biggest and best year to date and I wanted to take a minute and thank you readers by hosting a giveaway. Maybe one of the biggest I have done.

The prize, well, the winner can be ANY, ANY six cards out of this lot of four pictures.

 For the autograph lovers

 I know someone must want this /10 Black Refractor

Yeah, I put this in there. I bet this will be the biggest want.

Here are the rules and how to enter. There are three ways to do so. ENTRANTS MUST HAVE A U.S. SHIPPING ADDRESS and must acknowledge that the prize will be shipped safely PWE and that I am not or Topps responsible for lost, stolen or damaged mail. I will ship it safe as I can but can't promise that the USPS will handle it that way.

Here is how you enter. Depending on how you are reading this there are three different ways.
  1. BLOGGERS: Pick out your favorite post on this blog from this year or past years, post a link of it on your blog and tell me why it was your favorite and do your own post related to the one you chose of mine. Such as if I am talking about a favorite PC card, show yours or if you choose a Origins story about my favorite song, do yours. Comment on this post with a link to your blog post.
  2. TWITTER FOLLOWERS: Tweet out your favorite Sport Card Collectors post this year or in the past and tell YOUR followers why you liked it and make sure to tag me @SportCardCollec so I can see your entry. If not, I can't count it as I didn't see it.
  3. FACEBOOK FOLLOWERS: Post on your own wall your favorite post from Sport Card Collectors from this year or the past and make sure to tag Sport Card Collectors in your post so I can see it.
ONE WINNER from all three social media platforms will win on random.org and be announced in the comments of this post. You all will have a week to complete this. There is a shot for two winners, one grand prize winner who gets to pick their cards first and then a second who can pick from what's left, IF this turns really big. By really big, I expect 50 entries combined the three platforms.

Thanks for reading as always and there will be more to come from this blog including more changes down the road.

CARDBOARD REVIEW:2019 Topps Archives Baseball

Just like with Heritage, Topps Archives dig back into time and finds multiple designs from Topps past.

This year we are diving into 1958,1975 and 1993 for designs so this should be fun.

Let 'er rip!

In every box of 2019 Topps Archives you will find 24 packs of 9 cards each. Boxes will include 2 on card autographs and boxes currently run around $80-$85.

BASE:
1993 Design

The base card set is massive with 300 cards to chase. There are 100 cards in each of the years that include players from the past, present and the future of baseball

 1958 Design

 1975 Design to me is where it's at! So colorful

And includes this guy!

BASE CARD SP's
1975 Topps Highlights

1958 Topps Magazine All Star

1993 Topps Rookies

There are also Base Card Sp's to find as well.  There are 30 of them to collect that expand the base set.

PARALLELS:
Here is the breakdown of Parallels
PARALLEL CARDS: Purple /175, Silver /99, Blue /25 and Gold 1/1.
SUBSET PARALLEL 1975 Signature Omission and 1993 Topps Gold that fall 1:207 packs
Silver /99. I swear Kershaw stalks me

Purple

INSERTS:
Topps Magazine is back! Well, at least an insert of it. These fall 1:6 packs and have 20 cards to collect. Which I need to find myself the Griffey Jr.

 Ichiro Retrospective had me upside down. Well, just my photo. There are 16 cards to collect in all and fall 1:12 packs. There are also three short prints. Not sure if I got one or not.

These fall one per box with 25 cards to collect celebrating the 50 years of Expos. I wonder how that Tampa Bay team will fair next year in Montreal. Will they bring back the Expos....

THE HITS!
 Fan Favorites Autograph of Larry Dierker

Nice pull here, Bartolo Colon Expos auto that falls 1:54 packs

Other hits not found in my box but could be in yours include,
  • 1978 Topps Record Breaker Autographs
  • 1994 Future Star Autographs
  • Ichiro Retrospective Autographs
  • Topps Magazine Autographs
  • Topps Originals Autograph
OVERALL THOUGHTS: This product was a fun rip. I enjoyed seeing the players in designs that wouldn't normally be seen and finding Expos cards again. Landing two on-card autographs was fun to especially of players you don't see everyday. For me there was one glaring hole and that's not having a baseball related non sports add in like the last few years. I was disappointed in that.

This is definitely a break for the nostalgic collectors with the players, designs and autographs involved.

If you want in on a box break of this product without paying box prices, I suggest Midwest Box Breaks as they pull fire!

Please make sure to take a minute out to thank Topps for providing this box for me to review and to be able to add cards to the giveaway on Twitter I am hosting. Please follow me there to enter @SportCardCollec. Also follow Topps on all social media sites and visit their SITE, as well
