The last Favre sold for $20, and it looks like the Ripken goes for more. If the numbers hold for the rest of the boxes, I'll have about 90-95% of the SPs, which isn't terrible, as well as 3 extra base sets, which will recoup a little of the cost. My only major gripe is with the Yankee Stadium Legacy cards, which are completely out of place in the product and take up space that could be used for additional SPs. But a good rip and fun fall project nonetheless. I'll post updates here if anything big comes out.

Lots of people looking for the Yankee Stadium Legacy cards so they should be easy to trade or move. I have actually decided to go after the game used and regular autograph set as a side project after I posted here the other day.
Also since you got a case you should get an original Goudey card in one of the boxes as a case hit. I would love to rip a case of the 2007 or 2009 ones myself to start those sets one day. Good luck and post here if you get any good hits.
