Hey guys, Drew back here, and I'm excited. Not only is Mike coming over for the Split today of 08 UD Baseball Heroes, but I'm running a cool new blog. The url is www.numberonerecords.blogspot.com and it is called Today's Hits (remix feat dr. drew). Here is a copy of my 1st entry, explaining the blog. Enjoy!
Hey guys, I'm Drew, and I am running this blog, Today's Hits (remix feat dr. drew). I am going to make my own personal top 20 lists of songs and music videos, I will make album reviews song by song, and I will write about your favorites! Stay tuned, because I will load your minds with great songs, newer or a little older, and keep you on top my Ipod songs! These songs I will use are Pop, Pop Rock, R&B, Hip Hop, Rap, and a little Rock/Alternative. So, I'll see you there!

Product Review:
Design:
This is one of the best new card designed sets I own. The cards are unbelievably nice, and they fit the sticker autos in perfectly, so even they look good. I love the different color parallels, and I also like the prospect variations as well. The base cards are extremely thick, but I don't think that matters at all! Grade: A+
Price:
I would not have bought this product without Blowout's help. I bought the boxes on one of the weekend specials, and got it for $35 off! Talk about a great deal! I guess I paid up for what I bought with it, but if it was $35 more, I wouldn't have. Grade: B-
Discounted Price Grade: B+
Hits:
These hits are very nice. Finally I don't have to worry about relics, but then, I got one. It turns out that the only jersey card in the set is of Dice-K, and I got it. I'm wondering if it is from Japan or not, or maybe some stupid photo shoot. But, the Hanley is sweet, I really love the design of the blue parallel that they use, which I pulled one of Alejandro De Aza. The Hermida & Bedard autographs are nice too, but the crown jewels of the box is the autograph of Cameron Maybin, who isn't playing well this year, but is a big name prospect whose Bowmans Best Auto ranges from $15 to $40. Grade: A
Overall:
Overall, this box wasn't an A+, but it was around those lines. The Marlins are a good team to get young player autographs in, and I'm pleased. Hanley was rated #1 on Espn for fantasy in the pre-season, so I'm happy to have his autograph. As for Kevin Kouzmanoff (KKK Man), I don't want any more of him. I got some nice #ed cards too, especially the green parallels, and I again, was happy with the box. Overall Grade: A-
So guys, remember to tune for sometime in the next couple weeks for Mike & I to do our annual Split, this time of 2008 Upper Deck Baseball Heroes. I will also post an idea of a rip card trick I thought of sometime soon as well. As for TTMs, I will soon send one out to Mr. Mike Mussina, and it would be sick to get this stuff signed! So, See Ya!

Upper Deck X Box Break Review
Hey guys, Drew back here, a couple boxes behind, but still from my dad I got a box of UD X 2008 fro getting braces, and this is the complete review. I will use a similar design to Wax Heaven and many other bloggers for box break reviews, so here we go:
MY BOX BREAK RESULTS
2 Autographs- Rich Thompson & Josh Newman
1 X Ponential Level 4- David Wright
2 X Ponential Level 3's- Torii Hunter & Manny Ramirez
5 Legacies- Lazzeri, Ruffing, DiMaggio, Dickey, & Lefty Gomez (comment to ask for #'s)
Product Review:
Design:
Well, everybody hated the design for this product, but they actually used really nice photography with the cards. For the price, no doubt it's a steal, even though it looks like a little kids product, I think it is pretty good. Grade: B
Price:
The price for this stuff is pretty good for what you are getting. Think of a $20 blaster box from Target, when you get 1 hit for that price, usually quite suckish. Well, for $15 more, you can get 2 autographs, which I would take over game used on any day. So, the price on Blowout is $34.99 right now, and on DA it is $43, and at a local hobby shop, probably around $50. Grade: A
Hits:
The hits in this product are somewhat confusing. In retail they use only game used, but in hobby they only use autographs. So, I'm not confused, but I certainly was. The hits I got were not that great, we could've done better, but they are both rookies and I'll give them a chance. (Josh Newman & Rich Thompson) Grade: C
Overall:I wasn't all that excited about the hits, but I do like the X Ponential inserts, and the YSL inserts are nice. The base design is cool, and I was able to complete the set, my 1st complete set, even though all I did was buy a box and get all of them. So, I'm happy with it. Overall Grade: B-

Braces Rewards!
Hey guys, Drew back here with something that happened last Tuesday. I got around 10,000 cards from my dad for getting braces. He got the huge lot for cheap off craigslist, and there is so much stuff in this huge box that videos can only explain...
I got about 7 Manny rookies, a Jeter, a Thome, a Chipper, and more great rookies, and I'm now a master collector of 1992 and 1993 Topps. There are 2 football sets in there, but the rest is baseball. There is one box that has a lot of old cards from the 70's and 80's, so I'm very pleased. Here is a complete recap of that PLUS the 3 hobby packs he got me (Goudey 08, Spectrum 09, and UD 09) a mixed set from my local shop, and a hobby box of Upper Deck X. Check it out! (post on X will be made as soon as possible)
Things are getting better!
Well guys, things are beginning to change. My computer problem is fixed, and I was able to get the videos on my camera on without any errors. Today I am going to Best Buy either to get the camera fixed or to get a new one with the warranty. As for baseball, I'm still slumping, but 2 games ago, I was 2 for 3 with a triple, single, and walk, but I got benched half of yesterdays game and struck out my only ab. So I will now be able to make more movies, edit stuff, and post stuff, because now all my stuff is backed up on an extra hard drive. See Ya!
