Hi dacardworld, I have recently purchased 2 pack from you guys, 2008 09 Upper Deck Ultimate Collection, and 2009 10 Panini Limited, the Limited box was great, but with the Ultimate Collection, I finally did it! I opened the pack, and I saw the back of the card, it was the Chicago Bulls symbol, iIdidn’t get my hopes up, because usually it ends up being Tyrus Thomas, or Derrick Rose (Which wouldn’t have been bad being his rookie year), But then I saw the word MICHAEL, and I freaked out, I flipped through the three base cards and saw my Michael Jordan Auto numbered 2/10!

Awesome card Eric, congratulations on finally hitting a Jordan Auto!

As you can see from the scan, the card is very eye-catching. Many collectors think of this card as one of the most desirable/famous/valuable cards ever made.

For any questions on buying/selling or our vintage card inventory, please e-mail Bob Snyder vintage@dacardworld.com

Panini is offering the collector who uncovers the NFL 2009 Limited Pro Bowl Combo Materials card featuring Super Bowl quarterbacks Peyton Manning and Drew Brees (sequentially numbered #44 of 100), the chance to trade the card in for one box of every Panini NFL trading card released in 2010 and an exclusive Manning-Brees card sequentially numbered #1-of-1. Based upon the current production schedule, the collector will receive 10-15 products with a retail value of more than $1500.

To swap the #44 of 100 NFL Limited 2009 Pro Bowl Combo Materials Manning-Brees card, collectors should email a scan of the back of the card with the 44 of 100 sequential numbering visible to marketing@paniniamerica.net. Please put “Manning-Brees Redemption” in the subject line of the email. The offer is open until the opening kick-off of Super Bowl XLIV, on Sunday, February 7 @ 6:28 pm ET. Once the card scan is approved, the collector will be provided with instructions to mail the card to Panini to exchange it for their prize.

Congrats Evan on your awesome pull, and thanks for sharing with us.

Dear Dave and Adam’s,

I got a little extra cash from the holidays and as usual, I headed over
to your site.  I decided to take a chance on the 2009 Spectrum baseball, and
to my surprise I pulled a 1/1 Cut Celebrity Signature.  It is of Eddie
Griffin.  Once again thank you for great service and another great deal on a
box of cards.

Jason McHaffie, SSgt USMC

Jason, we thank you for your business and more importantly your service to our country.

One of the biggest football releases of the year is here, and 2009 Contenders Football is the hottest box of football cards we have in stock. Look for some of the top rookies like Mark Sanchez and Percy Harvin to really take off if they have success in the playoffs. Also look out for some of the up and coming rookies, like Julian Edelman and Austin Collie to rise in popularity.

2.) 2009 Upper Deck Sweet Spot Baseball

Sweet Spot is a flat out fun product to open. Collectors love getting six hits per box, with one being the “Sweet Spot” auto. There are also huge hits in this product, with some of the top baseball cards per year coming out of Sweet Spot.

3.) 2009/10 Upper Deck Series 1 Hockey

2009/10 Upper Deck Hockey has lit up the world of hockey cards. The top Young Guns Rookie Card of John Tavares has been schorching, followingTavares are Victor Hedman, Matt Duchene, Evander Kane, and James van Riemsdyk. Along with 6 Young Guns, you can  expect 2 memorabilia cards per box. Look for this product to stay on the hot list.

4.) 2009/10 Panini Threads Basketball

A solid product with a good mix of hits, look for 4 autograph or memorabilia cards per box. Each case is guaranteed to have an auto from Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, Willis Reed, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, John Havlicek, Isiah Thomas or Blake Griffin. Threads also delivers on patch rookie cards. As with all 09/10 basketball products, the emergence of Brandon Jennings has boosted interest even higher.

5.) 2009 Topps Triple Threads Football

2009 Triple Threads Football delivers one autographed triple relic per display box.  With a chance at the top rookies, or some amazing combo autographs, Triple Threads has been popular enough to make the hot list.

What Products are in your Top 5?

(Please note: The Top 5 is purely an opinion of a Dave and Adam’s employee. This is based on sales, feedback from collectors, and market trends.)

Along with a couple of major set runs of baseball, we also picked up some nice sets of football and hockey from the 1950’s.  Out of the thousands of singles we picked up, some of my favorites are a 1888 Scrapps Tobacco Charles Comiskey, 1928 Yuengling’s Ice Cream Lou Gehrig and of course the ultra rare 1960 Fleer Pepper Martin.

We look forward to growing our offering of vintage cards on the site in 2010 as we continue to pursue buying the largest collections we can find as well as the single card deals.

Hope everyone has a healthy and succesful 2010.

My girlfriend had ordered a box of 09 Sweet Spot baseball for Christmas. I opened the first 2 packs and nothing spectacular but on the 3rd pack I see a thick card so I was a little excited. When I get to the card much to my surprise I received my first 1 of 1 card it was a Sweet Spot Classic Barrel with red signature of Gaylord Perry. The rest of the box was pretty uneventful but I was still just shocked to pull my first 1 of 1. Thanks for a good Christmas.

Congratulations on your First 1/1 Bob, and thanks for sharing!
