M L B Chipz

I received 8 packs of Chipz.

Each contained -- 4 Chipz, 1 team sticker, and 1 game board
Look for: Auto's, Glow-in-the-Dark, Magnetic, and Relic Chipz

I received:

21 'base' chips

Pretty cool idea - I'm not really into the 'game' portion, but the idea of collectible Chipz is good. The Chipz are the size of a poker chip and weigh approximately the same as a quality poker chip. The reverse has the player's name and team along with the obligatory logos from MLB, etc...

Glow-in-the-dark

I received 4 - these have a 'matte' finish on the front and reverse.

Silver Parallel

I received 2 of the silver parallel - easy to spot - the background of the picture has silver rays emanating from it as well as the reverse in in silver.

Gold Parallel

Received 2 gold.

Magnetic

Received 3. Will not be a problem to determine which ones are magnetic....

Vinyl logos...

These come on the reverse of the Chipz. Might be a little difficult to display in your collection, but they are different.

There is a game board in each pack. It is folded to the size of a regular baseball card. The game is played by flipping or spinning your chips on the board.

Other variations might be: Flipping - heads or tails, or pitching against a wall with the closest to the wall winning the Chipz tossed (could and probably would damage the chip, but hey, go buy a few more!!)

**************************

The player collector should like this variation in collecting. One will have base, magnetic, glowing, silver, gold, auto'd and even relic chips to chase of their favorite player.

Overall grade A -- good effort to give the collecting public a new issue.

Go buy several packs and send the Rays parallels to me!!

Bought three packs of this at Target today because BC and TC weren't out yet and I am an ADDICT AND I NEED HELP. :)

Pulled the Wright "glow in the dark" chip (yay!), but did you get any other Mets? Or Jose Reyes or Carlos Beltran? Going to give these to my daughter, probably, so I figured I'd try to track down guys she might (sorta) know.

Nice concept but I don't think this one really lends itself to variations if it is a game. UGH!! Oh well. Any American League East Champion Red Sox?

Thanks,

Jeff

Sorry - no Mets, Reyes, or Beltran....
