The AREA 40 megabreak has now come to a close. I must say it was more of a daunting task than I imagined but still a ton of fun! Hundreds and hundreds of packs later and we have ended up with 351 hits. Kudos to our winner Adam Sanders who almost nailed it on the head!
Sorting is now complete and packaging is next. I hope to start mailing next week. I thought a good way to wrap this up might be to share some of the best hits and where they are headed. Everyone that signed up will receive a package and I'm proud of that! Buckle up for the top 15 imho that are headed into the blogosphere!

ReplyDeleteWow, those are some really stunning cards!
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome and so incredibly generous. Can't argue with keeping the Gehrig! What a remarkable card!
ReplyDeleteAnd thank you so much for the Yankees - the Dickey and Rivera are awesome. Very excited for both heading my way, and they will both have a permanent place in my collection.
Over the top Wes. Gotta say. Love the Harley Race. Well done. Very generous
ReplyDeleteThose HOF plaque cuts are pretty sweet. Cant say it enough, super generous and nice of you Wes.
ReplyDeleteThose are some amazing pulls! That had to be so much fun!
ReplyDeleteI know I missed the deadline but expect something coming your way...
ReplyDeleteLots of cool stuff there, and that's just a small percentage of it!
ReplyDeleteThat Mia Hamm is really cool - my dad flew with her dad in the Air Force...
ReplyDeleteWow, that's a lot of sorting and packaging! I just finished a multi-send contest and it can't even come close to this! Fine job. And fine Sharapova auto!
ReplyDeleteThose are some pulls. That Harley Race is a REALLY well signed card. And just gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteThis is probably the most epic break that any of us will see in our lifetime. Congrats on pulling so many sweet cards and for including so many people in on this. Glad you found some keepers. Hope you have a great 2019.
ReplyDeleteWowza. Those are some epic pulls there. That Sharapova is sweet! So is the Hogan/Beefcake. I think my favorite is that Jackie Robinson jersey card. Love the photo that Topps chose. Happy New Year to you too! I'll save my goodbye for your final post.
