Hi Hater
Clearly if it’s not Allen & Ginter most of you crush everything else released to dust and hate it. I said most, not all, before you all get ready to rumble. I happened to have liked the Topps 206
set, probably because the retail odds were so great for some reason.
A few months back Peter from Dropped Third Strike showed me a Phil Hughes redemption that he won on eBay and for a decent price. I dabble here and there with Hughes
cards when I find ones I like, and I liked the autos from this set so I picked up one for myself for somewhere around $8 bucks I believe. Not a bad purchase in retrospect because his cards have shot up in price, and it’s on card annnnddddddddddddd it is now in my hand.
I love it. “Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuggggggggghhhhheesss”

In an amazing coincidence I got this e-mail from Topps earlier this morning:
Dear Consumer.
This email is to inform you that the Topps Company is currently beyond the 15 week processing time allocated for the following redemption card:
PIN #: Product: Card/Player Name
TTS4GQJZ83 T-206
Phil Hughes Framed Autograph
heh.
I got the same e-mail. I am hoping I get another one, lol.
I got the same email regarding an Elvis Andrus redemption today.
I got the card a few days ago in the mail.
I've been meaning to do a write up on card hate… Maybe tomorrow. While we all have our dislikes, some people are just ANGRY with releases (and hypocritical when it comes to design likes/dislikes).
Anyhoo, I liked 206 too.
Same here card came a few days ago email comes today crazy…
I hate it 😛
But only because it's a Yankee.
damn yankees.
nice card though.
Nice card!
Actually, I don't hate much of anything card makers produce in Hobbyland. Do I have opinions on what I think are overly expedient or lazy design or production choices? Sure.
Will that stop me from wanting to buy new wax to open? Certainly not, I am willing to admit.
However, it often does have an effect upon whether I buy more of a particular product.
