<br />
Recently the Warriors have really been pushing checking-in on facebook, and deals for being one of the first people at the stadium have included meeting Jerry West:<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I was curious about what other teams around the country have been doing around social networking. I've still been collecting by the way, and have plenty of items to post. However, I'm rethinking some of the deals-related portions of the blog, especially since I've noticed that most of the deals are the same old products each week. I might make guides to selling your own mystery packs, the risks of busting a case, and information about important sports cards websites more in the future.</div><br />

Cam Newton is officially one of my favorite players.<br />

</div>I also busted a box of 2006 Ultimate Baseball that I bought on Black Friday and I'll post it pack by pack.<br />
<br />
I'm giving away the bonus pack's 1/1 printing plate, and all you need to do is guess what team the player depicted on the printing plate is on (the team on the plate, not his current team). To eliminate a couple of teams it's not the Giants or A's or I would have kept the plate. It's also not the Yankees or Red Sox so there's no need for lots of guesses for both of those teams.Cheap Card Collectinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03516793581028167607noreply@blogger.com26tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2542903760086291902.post-13883364001067677932011-11-29T19:23:00.000-08:002011-11-29T19:23:51.801-08:00If Gary Payton Gets into Blogging, We Might as Well Retire<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><object width="320" height="266" class="BLOGGER-youtube-video" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0" data-thumbnail-src="http://3.gvt0.com/vi/fOhQvwcM_LM/0.jpg"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/fOhQvwcM_LM&fs=1&source=uds" /><param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF" /><embed width="320" height="266" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/fOhQvwcM_LM&fs=1&source=uds" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed></object></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">If only I could make half as entertaining box breaks.

I hope that next year the blog formatting will be well-organized and possibly self-updating.<br />
I also hope that next year Black Friday will be more community-oriented with people posting deals and highlighting the best ones.<br />
<br />
I was really disappointed with Blowout Cards and Dave and Adam's Card World for their server instability and the fact that I was not rewarded for being up from 3-5 AM at all. Once again, great job to Orange County Sports Cards for their great deals and organization, and good job to Panini inspiring lots of business at LCS's.<br />
<br />
The blog received nearly 900 views this weekend, which is awesome since the blog only has 7,000 views total. I took almost all of October and November off for family reasons, and I may be inactive for a couple of weeks, but I fully expect to return to blogging by the end of December.<br />

No hits though. I also bought a box of 2011 Certified. The owner said he hadn't seen a hit yet come out of the black friday packs, so they might not be as loaded as panini advertised.<br />
<br />
I was up at 3 AM to check out Blowout Cards and Dave and Adam's Card World, but the websites had huge stability problems and were offering pretty terrible deals.<br />
Blowout Cards is picking things up now though, but that kind of angers me. Why didn't you reward the customers who were first in line? Also, you have to pay shipping individually per purchase. Use the coupon cod<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 11px;">e BKBB1111 </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 11px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">$5 off $50. The website is still unstable and the boxes sell out immediately.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
Atlants Sports Cards and DCS Sports Cards took a more conservative approach with decent sales that were listed all at once.<br />
<br />
The huge surprise of Black Friday 2011 to me is at OC Sports Cards. They have been livestreaming on blogtv with a great reveal structure. Every 15 minutes a box goes on sale, then a memorabilia item. Almost every item is a 2011 product, the website is stable, and there are good quantities of items. Check out all the deals at their <a href="http://ocsportscards.typepad.com/oc_sports_cards_blog/">blog</a>. Be sure to add the 2011 Rated Rookie set to your cart if you spend over $100, since it will be free along with free shipping. They have some great prices going on today. Use the code Beckett5 for 5% off a purchase above $100. If you're keeping track, that's a free 2011 Rated Rookie set, free shipping, and 5% off in addition to any savings. Some other sites seem to penalize you for buying from their sales.<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The sales will start at 6 AM EST, which kind of sucks for everyone. However, all you have to do is set your alarm, go to your computer for 5 minutes, and go back to sleep.</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />

They have already posted quite a few deals.</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">They also will post their deals on their <a href="http://www.facebook.com/blowoutcards">Facebook</a> and <a href="http://www.twitter.com/Blowoutcards">Twitter</a> pages before updating the dorum thread.</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Be careful, some of the deals they have posted are on products that go on sale for similar prices every week. However, there are also some huge deals to be had.</span></span><br />

<br />
First of all, checkout the debut of the online sellers page. Some of the sites haven't listed whether or not they will have Black Friday promotions, so check them out and if you find anything, be sure to tell me.<br />
<br />
Let's start off with the company with the biggest promotion this Black Friday.<br />
<br />
Panini is really pushing a Black Friday promotion that includes special Black Friday packs. It looks like the rate will be one pack for each $25 spent. <a href="http://paniniamerica.files.wordpress.com/2011/11/updatedblackfridaymasterdealerlist.xlsx">Here</a> is a list of LCS's participating. Be sure to check if your LCS is running any sales Friday!<br />
<br />
You can also participate by buying from the <a href="http://store.paniniamerica.net/sports/black-friday/trading-cards.html">Panini store</a>.<br />
<br />
<br />

Luckily, stability is approaching and things are improving.<br />
<br />
I still had to share this quick card since I've never pulled anything like this before. 2011 Topps Chrome has been exploding, and I managed to pick up 30 packs for $90 from baseballcardshop.net , a local store in PA (didn't think I had lost my bargain-hunting nose did you?). They have fast shipping so be sure to check them out.<br />
