Card of the Day: Salvador Perez 2012 Topps Tribute Auto

Redemption Mailday – Tony Perez ’12 Playoff Prime Cuts Significant Signatures

Happy New Year!!!  If you recall, a few weeks ago I broke and reviewed a box of 2012 Playoff Prime Cuts Baseball.  One of the “hits” I pulled was a redemption for a Tony Perez Significant Signatures autograph #’ed/25.  Just out of pure curiosity I redeemed it to see how long it would take to receive.  Yesterday in the mail it arrived.  It was redeemed on 12/8/12 and came on 12/31/12.  Not bad at all.  That has to be the fastest redemption ever fulfilled for me.  I don’t have a lot of luck when it comes to redemption cards.  Usually they take forever and sometimes you get sent a replacement.  This was a good experience.

Card of the Day: Pascual Perez 1989 Topps #73

PHOTOS: Phillies vs. Orioles

This was my first trip to Citizens Bank Park, and I must say its one of the nicest stadiums I’ve ever been to. Check out some of the photos! More can be found on Facebook.

Connie Mack

Suite #65 is where I got to watch the game. Probably the best box I’ve ever watched a game from. Someday I want to see the name “Sports Card Info” on a box.

For those collectors who are new to the hobby

If there are any new collectors that read Sports Card Info, there is something that I have wanting to get off my chest for awhile.  Too many new collectors believe that the Dick Perez cards that are inserted into packs of Allen & Ginter are true 1/1’s.  I’m sorry to say, but the aren’t.  The 1/1 thats painted on the front is part of the actual painting that was used to make the card.  The painting is a 1/1 created by Dick Perez.  I have seen so many sellers try to tell new collectors these cards are 1/1 when they aren’t.  The Dick Perez insert cards like the one shown below can be found everywhere.
