Checklist help...

I need a little help. I know for a lot of you, that isn't news. But in this instance, it's with a card checklist. 2010 Topps Chrome Football to be precise. In one of the recent group breaks, I got this card of DeMarcus Ware.

 Now with all chrome football cards, the number is in the top right corner and begins with a 'C', as demonstrated by my good friend Tony here. In this case, 'C20'.

 Now on the back of DeMarcus, we get an '11'. No 'C'. Fine. Maybe he just needs to drink more juice.

But according to every online checklist I can find, DeMarcus is listed as card C123 and Golden Tate is card C11. The Topps website is a waste of time.... does anyone have any cards like this? Does anyone have GoldenTate or DeMarcus Ware and can check the backs?

Any help would be appreciated.

Also, please check the sidebar to the right as I have finally added my 'Most Wanted' card list. This won;t list a '54 topps Aaron or anything, but cards you may have lying around in boxes or in forgotten piles in the spare room. Thanks for looking.

Group Break results... Red Ink Auto!

A little while ago, 1st and Goal had a couple of group breaks going on. You may have seen the pimping here on Waxaholic. Or maybe you didn't. Either way, I was in all the way. I entered the 2010 Topps Chrome football break. Leaving the Sweet Spot for others....

$7.50 got me a seat at the table and my pick of two teams. I took the Cowboys (duh...) and the Lions. Yes, the Lions.

Let's see what I got.....

Tony, pre-broken clavacle.

 Jason Witten from a game against the Dallas Texans. (Kansas City in their old AFL throwbacks)

 DeMarcus Ware doing what he does.... sacking the QB. In this case, a Dallas Texan. I guess they liked that game.

 Felix Jones

 Miles Austin

 Akwasi Owusu-Ansah ... take a wild guess as to where Akwasi was born. Nigeria? Yemen? Senegal? Nope. Gainsville. Florida. WTF?

 No fun inserts in the Cowboys section... let's hope for Detroit!

Calvin Johnson

 Ndamukong Suh Bowman Chrome RC

 Jahvid Best on a Gridiron Lineage card with Fumbleayah Peterson.

 and a Red Ink Auto of Ndamukong Suh!!!

WooT!

Hobby or nothing... I choose hobby.

I've seen a few pack/box busts of 2010 Topps Chrome Football and the concensus seems to be forget buying hobby, go retail. Looking at the posted results, I tend to agree. With one slight caveat.

There ain't no retail within 1800 miles of me. So with the choice of hobby packs or nothing, I went and bought some hobby packs. Beggars can't be choosers.

3 packs for $10 at my LCS.

First card... Felix Jones. Nice.

 Joe Flacco - is he really that good, or the product of the system, like Roethlesberger?

 LeSean McCoy - WhY dO PeopLe iSisT oN mAkiNg uP nAMes?

 Percy Harvin - get those headaches under control son.... health is more important.

 I got one refractor in my 3 packs.... Tom Brady. Any Pats fans out there want to trade?

 and I found one of those Bowman Chrome inserts that are 1:12 packs or 2 per box....
Jordan Shipley of the Bungals

also pulled were
Trent Williams - Redskins RC
Darren Sproles - Chargers
Taylor Price - Patriots RC
DeAndelo Williams - Panthers
Sidney Rice - Vikings
Darren Sharper - Saints

Overall a cool set... if I had the $$$ I'd buy a box or two.  But then again, maybe I should send away for retail.

If any of you are collecting this set and need any of these, hit me up for a swap.
