I'm going to try and get all the Sox now cards this year. Being the first year. Next year will be a different story
Nice job. I regret not pulling the trigger on this one. Even my wife is like, Why didn't you buy that?? Now they're way too expensive on eBay. Oh well, live and learn!
Nice! Time will tell if I regret not pulling the trigger myself.
I like this idea from Topps, great marketing move, taking advantage of that collecting bug.
Wow... can't believe how much these are selling for. Kudos to all of those who ended up grabbing these when they had the chance.
