Group Case Break Results!!!

Saints of the Cheap Seats had a group case break going on last month. For the results, please click here to see the scans of all the really cool cards that were pulled. Go ahead, I'll wait.

Back? Good. Pretty cool stuff, eh? Well, although I was a fully paid participant in the break, I didn't get any of what you saw. Nothing. I got this.

This card is so bad, Dan didn't even scan it to show off what was pulled. And I needn't remind you of how we feel about John Smoltz, do I? You're looking at a plain white swatch of John Smoltz' pants that I ended up paying $22 for.

Crap.

Dan felt so bad, he sent along some goodies to ease the pain.

An '04 auto of Alec Zumwalt,
and two cards from 2008 Upper Deck A Piece of History.
Brandon Jones and Josh Anderson. Can someone tell me why they are different colours?

and a couple of shiny '99 Topps Gold Label former Braves.
Andres Galarraga,


and Brian Jordan.
Through no effort of my own, I have become a Brian Jordan Super Collector. Everyone who sends me Braves, sends me tonnes of Brian Jordan. I had no idea he had so many cards....

I WON!

Dan, from Saints of the Cheap Seats held a week long trivia contest awhile ago. This mother was hard! I had to pour through my reference books, google everybody, phone a friend, and generally pull my hair out.
But in the end, it was worth it.
Let's check out the loot that Dan sent over.....
Clint Sammons 2008 Topps Finest Rookie auto! Sweet. Clint is being held up being the Braves backup catcher by the free agent signing of David Freaking Ross. Seriously? Clint should be on the big club by July if he doesn't make it out of Spring Training.

Next up...
Brian McCann All Star Jersey! AwwYeah! This is what it's about!
Catchers aplenty here at Waxaholic!
David Ross?!???? Really?
