Sorry for the delay...

We have had a heck of a week preparing for the apocalypse. Had a great night breaking last night with Mojobreak. 2012 Absolute Football Case Break and I had the Baltimore Ravens. Bernard Pierce Rookie Jersey Auto /49, Bernard Pierce War Room Rookie Prime Signatures Jersey /25, and a Ray Rice Tools of the Trade Jersey Auto Prime Black /5. Then I had a nice little gem from 2012 Bowman Sterling Baseball, Billy Hamilton Auto, not bad additions to the collection! Will post pics when the mail day arrives!

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.

Purple Rain!

This is actually the second Purple Refractor Autograph we've pulled in the last two months. The first was Yu Darvish. Halfway through a box of 2012 Bowman Draft Picks and Prospects Baseball we made it rain! A Bryce Harper Rookie Autograph Purple Refractor, on card, and not a redemption! Sweet!

2011/12 Exquisite Basketball Box Break Part 2



Yep, we did another box break of this product with Mojobreak.com and guess what? #2 pick again, arrrggghh! Oh well, it could have been worse.  The box was popping right from the get go.  First card out of the box was a booklet card, Alonzo Mourning/Tim Hardaway Dual Logo Patch Autograph Card 46/50 with Georgetown and UTEP patches.  It also has a Miami Heat basketball connection being in South Florida.  The rest of the box started to come out with a base card, Danny Manning and then a Jerry West Championship Bling autograph.  Next up, BOOM, a Lebron James Personal Touch Autograph, Favorite Car, autographed and with Bentley written on the bottom, numbered to 20, sweet.  The next card, a Corey Joseph autograph rookie, nice, and then the final hit, a DeMarcus Cousins Dimensions Shadowbox autograph rookie, sweet. Not a bad box, but with the #2 pick, I had a decision to make.   I went with my gut, and some local love, and picked the Mourning/Hardaway Booklet Dual Patch Autographs /50. So that's my little taste of Exquisite for the year. With a price hovering around $850, I doubt I will be doing any more of this product.
