Our share of the case break from A Cardboard Problem

So we told you about the case breaks going on at A Cardboard Problem and the great opportunity to get in on them.  The Jumbos have been opened and all the hits from their two case breaks are up on their site.  So if you want to see what kind of hits a case can yield, use these links, Part 1, Part 2 and Part 3, to check out the complete results for yourself.  You can also follow this link to see the full, unedited videos of the Blog Case Break and the Facebook Case Break.

Find the Double Sparkles in 2011 Topps Series 2 Baseball Cards and claim your amazing prize!

Double Rainbows are extremely popular, why not Double Sparkles?  

As you know from our First Day of Release Blaster Box Break, 2011 Topps Series 2 is live.   

We told you about the first sparkle cards, short prints with tiny sparkles on various locations of a player's card found in Series 1.  For Series 2, Topps is still doing the sparkles but has brought it to a whole new level with ultra short prints of Jayson Heyward, Tim Lincecum and Evan Longoria Double Sparkle cards.  

In addition there is a bounty for the first person to obtain all three and send in a photo of them and the cards.   The prize is a certified autographed bat signed by Robinson Cano, Andre Ethier, Curtis Granderson, Russell Martin, Justin Moreau, Hanley Ramirez, BJ Upton, Justin Verlander, David Wright and Ryan Zimmerman.

There will also be runner up prizes for those who find double sparkles but don't win the grand prize.
