Overall a fun break, and a good chance to brush up on some American History. I really like the American Heroism Relics. I will be picking some of those up along the way.

I opened a box of these myself and enjoyed it as well. I pulled a swatch of shirt from a MOH winner and a piece of the Space Shuttle Endeavour payload bay liner which looks like a piece of gold foil with bumps and dots on it. I'll definitely take a flyer on one more box if the local shop carries them again.

Sounds like a cool break :beer:

Nice break...I have been picking up singles off the bay. I love the relics in this set from the Space Shuttle pieces to the War pieces.

 

[Stadium Sports]

This stuff is excellent.

Tough to find, but excellent.

All the distrubutors in Canada are sold out.

I've done three boxes, pulled 3 WWI relics (Infantry Leggings, Signal Flag Kit and 105th Machine Gun Corps Blanket), 2 Space Shuttle relics (one all silver Atlantis piece and a SUH-WEET silver and gold Discovery piece) and a Robert Jarvik auto (invented the artificial heart). LOVE this product, wish it was easier to find...

i need most of the 126-150 sp's, I would like to finish the 1-150 set, as well as the sport heroes set.

Other then that, if you had any of the American Heroism Relic's available, I would be interested in those. I have picked up a few, but still so much that I would like.


Shoot me a message on what you have available. I can get you the 126-150 cards I have (easier then listing the ones I don't have).

 

[ma88ie]

Darn! I saw it too, and had to have a couple of boxes (or three).

Here are the highlights, all available except the Hornsby. Also have lots of doubles, and will have a wantlist/tradelist sometime in the next day or so. I'm going to try for a chrome set, if anyone has any of them to trade.
