Here is a quick background on my pulls. This past weekend I placed an order online for one box of 08 SPx and one box of 08 Absolute Memorabilia and was anxiously tracking my order on UPS.com all week waiting for it to come in yesterday. I got home from work yesterday and opened the package and saw that I had been sent someone elses order of two boxes of 08 Absolute Memorabilia (I got their invoice and all). I was bumed b/c I was waiting all week to bust my boxes. I called the company at 8am this morning to get this straightened out. The box of SPx that is owed to me was sent to me today and instead of sending one box of Absolute back, I bought the extra box at a discounted price.

I sat down to bust the two boxes of Absolute and this is where my good day started. I'll only list the hits (GU, Auto, #'d, etc...) and keep in mind that NEITHER of these two boxes should have been sent to me.

08 Absolute Memorabilia BOX 1
Pack 1: Deuce McAllister SPECTRUM #'d 86/100 & Cory Boyd Rookie AUTO #'d 24/99
Pack 2: Adarius Bowman Rookie #'d 263/799 & Ray Rice Rookie Premiere Materials Jrsy/Ball/Jrsy #'d 126/199
Pack 3: Ryan Grice-Mullen Rookie #'d 321/799 & Felix Jones War Room AUTOGRAPH/PATCH (3 piece, 2 clr) #'d 16/25
Pack 4: Philip Rivers Absolute Heroes #'d 114/250 & Manning/Wayne/Harrison/Addai Team Quads GU #'d 91/100

08 Absolute Memorabilia BOX 2
Pack 1: Quentin Groves Rookie #'d 35/799 & Earl BennettRookie Premiere Materials Jrsy/Ball/Jrsy #'d 47/199
Pack 2: David Garrard SPECTRUM #'d 97/100 & Jerricho Cotchery Tools of the Trade AUTOGRAPH/Prime Jersey #'d 1/10
Pack 3: Steven Jackson SPECTRUM #'d 24/25 & Tiki Barber Tools of the Trade 2 clr Patch (1.5"x1.75") #'d 3/3
Pack 4: Alex Brink Rookie #'d 422/799 & Jerry Rice Tools of the Trade AUTOGRAPH/Prime Jersey #'d 1/5


Then I went out to run some errands today and decided to stop in one of the local card shops and my luck continued there. Here is what I picked up from the shop, i'll only list the hits (GU, Auto, #'d, etc...).

Loose pack of 08 UD Icons
JaMarcus Russell Future Foundations #'d 455/750
Eddie Royal Rookie Brilliance Jersey #'d 136/199

Loose pack of 08 Sage Autographed
Matt Flynn Gold Level Autograph hand #'d 118/200 (In his LSU jersey)

Loose pack of 08 Absolute Memorabilia
Greg Olsen SPECTRUM #'d 17/100
Josh Morgan Rookie Auto #'d 63/99

Loose pack of 08 Topps Finest
Kevin Smith Rookie Autograph

Mini box of 08 Topps Finest
Tony Romo Finest Moments Refractor #'d 23/99
Malcolm Kelly Rookie Refractor #'d 287/699
Philip Rivers Refractor #'d 78/299
Kennan Burton Rookie Autograph
Kyle Wright Rookie AUTOGRAPHED CYAN Printing Plate #'d 1/1

Loose pack of 08 SPx
Darren McFadden Rookie AUTOGRAPH/TRIPPLE JERSEY #'d 41/99 (the owner of the shop said that no more than 35 minutes bfre. I pulled this card a lady from out of town was in there and also pulled a McFadden Auto/trple jersey)



This week had been pretty lousy for me and with having waited all week for my online order to come in only to find out last night that the wrong order was sent to me had just topped it off. However, today things turned around and have made up for the entire week and i'm pumped about the cards I pulled.

Sorry for such a long post but I just wanted to post how my day went. I have attached a scan of the main hits to this thread (the Quad jersey didn't scan well and if anyone wants me to, I can try scanning it again and posting it).

Awesome stories and congrats on the sick pulls!

On a side note, that first box of Absolute was awfully similar to mine. I pulled a exact same Boyd, Colts Quad, and a different Felix Jones Auto/GU...

The only cards I saw in your bucket that i'd be interested in are the Russel Jersey card here http://s7.photobucket.com/albums/y295/bizzydesigner/cards/Football/Game%20Used%20and%20Patches/?action=view&current=fb_006.jpg or this Dwayne Bowe card http://s7.photobucket.com/albums/y295/bizzydesigner/cards/Football/Game%20Used%20and%20Patches/?action=view&current=3_08116.gif

Would you trade either of those for my Smith Auto?

Hey, the first one is actually Jonnie Lee Higgins GU, the russel in there was the RC, and that's gone. The Bowe is available however, so I can trade that.

Did you like the Bowe? or was there anything else you're looking for?

I do like the Bowe but i'd rather have either a GU or an Auto of Jamarcus Russell if I could for it. I've got other offers of Russell cards for it so i'm still trying to decide what I want to trade it for. Do you have any other Russell cards that you could trade?

Ok that's cool, I will take a look later and see what Russell I have.
