When you're hot, you're hot!



As you see in the previous post, Purple Rain, we had a big hit, so why stop there?  Towards the end of the show, one of the dealers was carrying around a box of 2012 Panini Prizm Basketball offering it up for $80.  Knowing that it sells for around $100 I hopped on that deal.  A few of the youngsters hanging around the show urged me to pop the box right there, so I did.  Within the first couple of packs, lightning struck again in the form of a Blake Griffin Refractor Autograph numbered to 25, sweet. I continued popping packs when one of the kids said "Look at him, he's not even excited about pulliing that Griffin!" I was excited, but after what I had already pulled, this was just okay, at least I was going to get my money back. And as I'm writing this, an offer just came in for this card and tomorrow, it will be on it's way to it's new owners.  I'm sure they will be excited when the receive it in the next few days.

2011/12 Exquisite Basketball Box Break



Well I had the opportunity to get a piece of an exclusive, or should I say Exquisite box break on Mojobreak.com the other night.  Six spots, with the sixth getting a base card and a box of 2012/13 Prestige Basketball as a consolation.  I had to jump on it.  With a product stuffed full of Jordan Autos and limited edition patches, duals, triples, and quads, as well as this years rookies, the only worry is what pick would I get.  Well, as fate would have it, I got pick #2.  Not bad, but it's not #1.  As they broke the box, the Hakeen Olajuwon base card #'d to 99 was on it's way to #6 already.  Next up, a Gail Goodrich Championship Bling On Card Auto #'d 99, nice. Card #3, BOOM, Michael Jordan/Magic Johnson Dual Auto On Card #'d 20, okay, so I'm hoping this one slips to #2, probably not.  Card #4 It's a Booklet, Bill Walton/Gail Goodrich UCLA Logo Patch Black Dual Auto On Card 33/50, sweet, but not and MJ/MJ dual auto!  Card #5 Nolan Smith Rookie Auto On Card #'d 199, nice, a Duke-y. Card #6  Endorsements Shadowbox Auto Mark A. Jackson inscribed "God Bless U" On Card Auto, very nice.  Okay, so i know that MJ/MJ is not coming my way, so i picked the nest best value in my opinion, the Booklet, Bill Walton/Gail Goodrich UCLA Logo Patch Black Dual Auto On Card 33/50.  Stay tuned, because I did another one of these, a few days later, wait till you see what happened there.
