Another week of good pulls

Well, another week has gone by in the life of Three Stars Sportscards. The local sports scene seems to have stabilized at least for the time being. We are into our second month at Three Stars and are encouraged to see more new faces and also to see repeat visitors. We are increasing our wax selection each week as well as our singles. The baseball case is looking much better. Some better Vince Carter cards seem to have found their way to Roseville, many via different routes. We are continuing to see some good cards pulled from our packs and boxes. Highlights include the Triple Threads 6 QB Foldout card(P. Manning, Brady, Elway, Young, Aikman, & Montana), Joba Chamberlin & Phil Hughes dual auto from Bowman Sterling (by the same guy), and an auto #'d to 29 of Larry Bird from Topps Chrome. The fortune continued today with a pull from SPX hockey of the Spectrum version (#'d to 25) patch auto of Sam Gagner, another easy triple digit card. But all of that pales to what our friend Jared pulled on thursday afternoon. From his box of SP Authentic he pulled the patch autograph true rookie card of Adrian Peterson. It is a sweet three color patch with an on card auto. What a card! He says it's not for trade.
We have more boxes of Topps Chrome Basketball, SPX Hockey, and SP Authentic Football, most are from assorted cases so there is no reason to think the good stuff is all gone. More Bowman Sterling Baseball and Triple Threads Football are on the way as well as the demanded National Treasures Football. Thanks to all who've stopped in and hope to see you soon.

Two great pulls last week

Two different customers pulled the following cards last week:

2007-08 SPX Flashback Fabrics Sidney Crosby Autographed Jersey/Patch #/25

2007 Leaf Limited Adrian Peterson Autographed Patch #/25

Congratulations to the two owners of these cards.

If you have bought a box from us, send us a picture or stop by the store with the card and we'll take a picture of the card and add it to our "Wall of Fame".

Twinsfest

Twinsfest 2008 is now complete. We had a great show and got to meet lots of new people. Thanks to everyone that stopped by. Hopefully you picked up a flyer for the store. The show itself was great. We sold a lot of cards as well as some Adrian Peterson autographed memorabilia.

Adrian Peterson and Brian Rolston

In store news, we now have Adrian Peterson autographed memorabilia for sale. We have 8x10" photos, 16x20" photos, mini-helmets, footballs and jerseys! You can stop in and pick out the item you want at the store, or wait for Twinsfest. All items come with a Certificate of Authenticity.

The Wild lost in a shootout tonight. I'd love to see a stat about how many times Brian Rolston has done something other than wind up and take a slapshot in a shootout. He is 9/21 in his career, but about 1/10 when I have seen him.
