Box break of Playoff Prestige at the NSCC--Cleveland!!

[Lester-Worm-Murphy]

The box of Prestige came today, along with a few other goodies.....I took some pics, and I am hoping to get them up tomorrow or Friday!!

A great box, very clean and crisp cards..a full review will come later.

Suffice to say, that our partner Panini, has hooked us up, nicely this time around, and I am hopeful, that it will continue, in the future......

Here is some of the "goodies" that Panini sent for our prize pack(s)...

The Russell IS NOT PART OF THE PRIZE PACK...it is a promotional photo, just wanted to show you guys what they look like. I will have some photos of some of the base cards later....

I don't think that Hasheem Thabeet is going to be moving these cards very much.

Very cool

Here are some photos from the box break. The base cards (LeBron and Shaq) are spectacular, and the game-used cards (Kobe) are very crisp and clean as well. They give a nice mix and good low numbers for the signed rookie cards. I also enjoyed the NBA Draft patch card.

I am still working on the review, as I have had a few other irons in the fire.....but rest assured this product will be getting high marks!!!!

[Lester-Worm-Murphy]

If Paddio want to use some of these products for any of the football prize packs, that would be fine with me.......

The Stephen Strasburg baseball card that costs as much as a car
By 'Duk

Hey, anyone have $10,500 just lying around?

You do? Well, then you could be the top bidder on this crazy-nuts eBay auction for the only Stephen Strasburg(notes) "Superfractor" card in the 2010 Bowman Chrome set.

But if you actually have designs on owning the card, you better go back to diving for dimes in your couch cushions. That's because $10,499 was the auction price as of this post time and there are still almost five days left in the auction. The price will only go up and could approach or pass a new Kia Sportage territory.

A poster on Freedom Cardboard says he's the lucky collector and Blowout Cards is running a contest to guess the final price of the ultra-scarce card of the Washington Nationals pitcher who hasn't even been called up to the big leagues, let alone experienced any success there.

But the insane price is both a product of Strasburg's potential as the top pick in last June's amateur draft and the limited edition 1/1 that's stamped on back.

Though the amount is hard for most of us non-collectors to fathom, Cardboard Connection is calling this "one of the greatest auctions for a modern baseball card in history." The Bowman "superfractors" are among the most sought-after cards in the hobby and the 2006 Evan Longoria(notes) Superfractor is legendary because it's rumored it hasn't been pulled yet.

To each his own, I suppose, though you won't see me bidding my salary any time soon.

Then again, I'm glad I stumbled across this story. Had I not, there's a chance I might have pulled a Steve Phillips and traded Strasburg's rookie for the Roy Oswalt(notes) in the set.

The card ended up going for $16,400 and some change.....yikes!!
