Ripping it....again !

As some of you might know, I received a 2nd RIP card through a group break recently. Of course, I need to RIP it !! Here's the card of Teheran that I received.


Clearly, the back is not as nice anymore as I ripped it !! Here's what I pulled....



yes, the black ones to cover up the real prize :-) Here's what was inside...


A Chris Davis mini, a high-numbered one (382) which makes it rare, although I have no clue how rare. That's it, again no Glavine red auto :-)



Thanks for visiting my blog today !

Contest: I am Ripping !!!

First of all, I would like to thank everyone for your tips & thoughts in response to my last post "To Rip or not to RIP ?" After careful consideration I have decided to have some fun !! Yes, money is fun as well but I am not collecting wax for the money but simply to have fun and keep me (and maybe others) entertained !! Also, ripping a double RIP card is probablty a once-in-a-lifetime event so let's make sure I can cross this off my bucket list ! So let's have some fun and RIP this thing. As a reminder, the RIP card below is the one that will take some damage today, luckily it's just a Dodgers card (for all you Dodger fans out there :-)). From a positive perspective: After it being Ripped the Dodger RIP card is for trade !!


To involve everyone I am going to run a little contest called "guess the card" (yes, I came up with that title all by myself :-)). The double-RIP card can contain several things including, as far as I am aware, extended minis, metal minis, red mini autos, mini-rip cards and probably/hopefully many more cool stuff etc. I am hoping for a Kershaw, Glavine or Rivera 1/1 :-)

So leave a comment guessing both the team and what kind of mini it is. If you are right on both I am sending you a nice package with cards from your favourite team !

As a reminder, please examine the RIP card above closely, maybe the outside contains a clue for you (x-ray didn't work for me!). Gonna RIP it tonight and posting the contents tomorrow night (for you afternoon) so make sure to leave a comment before that time !!

May the luckiest collector win !!
