just got my two series one Topps hobby boxes today, charmcity is mailing them out quicker every time i buy from them lol. but here are the sweet pulls I have gotten

2012 Topps Golden Greats Autograph Relics #NR3 Nolan Ryan (redemption card) becketts says its a print run of five

2012 Topps Golden Moments Relics #DU Dan Uggla
2012 Topps Golden Moments Relics #MSC Max Scherzer
2012 Topps Golden Moments Autographs #BG Brett Gardner
2012 Topps Gold World Series Champion Pins #FR Frank Robinson 324/736
2012 Topps Retired Rings #DM Don Mattingly 354/736

and of course 20 golden giveaway cards that are off to ebay for auction to get back a few bucks on the cost of a hobby box. lol

yea yea i know i need to get my scanner hooked up. so you can see them. and yes i know some of you guys are intrested in some of the cards too especially the ryan, but im selling not trading and if people want to make an offer email me, we will talk but i plan on putting them up on the bay too. but im thinking maybe it would be a good idea to redeem the ryan and get the card graded that could really jack the worth of the card up too. what do you guys think?

Never understood grading a low print run card, there's only 4 more out there IF they all get pulled. Unless you're convinced there is absolutely, positively, no chance at all it could ever get less than a 9.5, it doesn't seem like a big selling point. How much would I pay for a current year 8.5 or 9? about the same as I would for a raw card, because that's the condition I would expect the card to be in anyways. Anything lower and I'd probably pay MORE for the raw card because it MIGHT be better than the slabbed one If the buyer wants it they want the card, not necessarily the slab. If you know the card is in stock, ready to ship, then I'd probably redeem it and then list it. If it's not live, I'd let someone else deal with it and just list the redemption. The few extra bucks isn't worth the waiting and wondering to me.

A guy at the shop I go to pulled the same Ryan redemption. Should probably get a nice patch as the swatch!! Good luck!

That's one of the best ones you could have pulled, pretty sweet! I wouldn't get it graded but would scan it for sure...................Maybe invest in the card that way or have someone do it for you......................

yea i think im just going to redeem the card, a nolan ryan auto sint going to loose any "worth" and if i do get the card then i can get the collectors here salavating to get the card maybe lol.
