Twice in one week!


Andrew Luck Part Two! Less than a week later, at the Key West Card Show, aka The Worlds Smallest Card Show, another Andrew Luck Rookie Autograph. I brought a few boxes of 2012 Panini Contenders Football to the show in hopes that someone would take them off my hands. The night before I busted two boxes of this lackluster product filled with the lesser known rookies as well as some of the bigger names. Touting two on card autos per box, after two boxes, I hadn't seen one, although the Devier Posey redemption might be, but that's a wait and see game. So around noon, with no biters on the at cost price tag, and even after unofficially guaranteeing that a Luck or RGIII was in there I decided to prove myself wrong and bust into the first box.  Two packs in, yep, Andrew Luck Rookie Autograph, on card, and beautiful.  KC, sorry buddy, you didn't believe me, but neither did I. Damn that thing is sweet. Thanks to Gato and JC for buying the other box because I was all out of garauntees.  Now for next weeks predictions, just kidding, i'm taking a break from breaking, for now.

Super Bowl Box Breaks


Sorry it's been so long, but what happened to January.  Spent the month prepping for Jon Crane's 15th Annual Super Bowl Party. Well, we did a couple of box breaks at the party, one before, one after, and both were awesome.  The pre-game break featured all kinds of football product, Prizm, Limited, Black, Momentum, Bowman Sterling, and SP Authentic. Right off the bat, we pulled a Russell Wilson auto from Prizm, sweet, for me at least. We also pulled a nice Nick Foles Patch Auto from Sterling, and fittingly, a Bernard Pierce Patch Gold Auto from Black, another nice hit.  So then we took a break and watched a great Super Bowl, halftime, and power outage and all.  So after the party, we hung out, played cards and then decided to bust a box of Limited and a box of Black.  So earlier you see what we pulled from 7 boxes, let me tell you about these two beasts.  From the Limited box, we start with a Ronnie Lott Jets Jersey, that's a little weird.  The the hits started, and although it's was an Isaiah Pead, the Phenom Rookie Jersey Auto, was actually pretty nasty, because it was a piece of the Ram logo.  And then...TRich, boom, a Trent Richardson Rookie Phenoms Silver Spotlight Redemption /49, awesome, finally JC gets his man.  So we are all geeked, lets bust this Black.  I honestly don't remember any other card than Card #1, in the middle of the pack. Paging Andrew Luck, Rookie Prime Patch Gold Autograph /349, total nastiness.  So that's what I've been up to.  What's next, the Card Show, wait until you see who showed up.
