That's Right. I'm Back, With Card Show Pickups

**theael** · 05-03-2009, 02:26 AM

After a 4-week hiatus, I am back! Went to the Annual SF Tristar today at the Cow Palace. I think I did alright. Here's the scoop.

First, I picked up some packs. Here are the breaks, from worst to best.

1 Pack Of Topps Treasury:
base

3 Packs of 07-08 Topps Chrome:
Base
-Crittenton RC
-Conley RC
-Brewer RC
-Duncan Ref /999
-Hardaway Ref /999

But then I saw it. A lone pack of 08/09 Bowman sitting there, waiting for me. I got it, and boy, I was glad I did.
08-09 Bowman:
-Tony Parker Base
-KG Chrome
-Augustin RC
-David Robinson GOLD REF 23/50 BOX HIT!
aaaaaannndd....
-George Hill RC Auto BOX HIT AGAIN!!!!!
I was super happy considering I've been keeping my eye out for a Hill auto anyways. And both box hits in ONE pack! WOW!

Now to the pickups!!

I headed to a 2$ blowout stand first. Picked these two up.
-Joakim Noah/Luol Deng Co-Signers RC 17/19

-DJ White Topps Chrome RC Auto Refractor /476
Pretty nice for 2 bucks each IMO

Then a 4 for 10$ stand. Got these
-Davis/Harrington SPX Dual Jersey
-Melo/K-Mart SPX Dual Jersey
-Amare SPGU Jersey (already had it but whatever)
and one of my steals of the night.
-SPX Wilson Chandler RC Jersey Auto
Yea thats right 2.50 each!

On to a couple singles I picked up at different places.
-Andris Biedrins SPA RC Auto /1499; $7 (wanted this one for a while)
-Chauncey Billups 98-99 Bowman Best Ref /400; JUST $1!!
-Hakeem Olajuwon 98-99 Topps Chrome Seasons Best Ref; $1

To finish my 50 bucks off I headed to a mid-end stand (I had $9 left) and talked the guy into giving me these two for $9 instead of $10
-07/08 Wilson Chandler Ultimate Rookie Auto 90/99; 4.50
and this one I thought was a steal for 4.50
-08/09 UD Premier George Hill RC JSY AU; 4.50

I think I got some pretty good steals and as my 2nd card show (first was the National) it was pretty fun. Also I got the guys I was looking for to invest in- George Hill (2 autos) and Wilson Chandler (also 2 autos)
Thanks for reading!
