I received a box of 2002 Topps ACB Gold cricket this morning from Sonny, and thought i'd break it as a nice relax after the hectic weekend.
A few nice cards - I will get around to scanning them when I get setup properly - but I needed to show this one off straight away.
The funny thing about this one - the pack it came in looked like an "insert" pack - like they had actually opened the pack to put the Auto in and didnt reseal it properly. The pack was open at one end and when I picked it up I thought it was dodgy work by the manufacturers to not seal the pack up properly. Boy, was I wrong
Say hello to my new friend - Chad said he is now collecting Ponting cards too
Now that is a NICE looking card
A classic Ponting shot too, square of the wicket
Well done
I would ask the BV but I guess that's not in Beckett!!
A nice signature too!
Well done!
Thanks guys, yes its a great card and looks nice too. The old mobile phone didnt do too bad of job capturing it.
1:216 packs for an auto, and I got Ponting Pretty happy with that. In the box I got an Adam Gilchrist MatchUps card (had another keeper on it too, cant remember off the top of my head) and two packs had nothing but Contract subset cards - having never opened a box before of this stuff I dont know if its common or not.
No idea on BV, sorry But theres an 03/04 Ponting on Ebay at the moment, when I looked this morning it was at $80+.
Once I get setup here (a computer desk and a power point in the 'computer room' will help my cause) i'll scan some of the cards and post them. Maybe by the end of the week.
Very nice graham! I once pulled a Simon Katich Signature Card from a pack of 02 Topps? I think. Long odds for that too.
Very cool pulling a Punter Auto though!
Simply beautiful looking card, it has his older signature too, the better one, which is definitely a more "full" signature compared to the lazier ones he does these days
Great pull, waiting on a box of these myself, All I ask is for a ponting sig, a bradman tribute, a gilly GU, 2 full base sets and at least 10 of the other inserts in the one box...
Nah but seriously cant wait too open the box, for the price I am getting it for, Im happy as and thats all that matters - I only asked questions of this box because the seller himself questioned it and I saw other people's replies, and I too did not collect the 02 series, I dont have any of them... Yet!!!
