first box breaks in...years!

[Coco]

Hi Guys,

Just to say that I am back after a long absence from collecting. I've decided to take up the hobby again, and my god did i come back with a bang!

I purchased 3x Upper Deck 07/08 boxes from EBAY, busted the boxes an hour ago, and i was not dissapointed.

apart from the usuall game used and rookies, which i will show you later, there was really only 1 card i was after, and that was a Kevin Durant Rookie, and I didn't care if it was a signed one or not, I just wanted to have one with one of these breaks.

well, i got more than what I asked for!

This is the rookie i was looking for ^^^^^^^^


but this one...

Kevin Durant GOLD PARALLEL Star Signings ROOKIE 18/20!!!

I will be sure to put a better scan later on, but before I do that, I have to stop by somewhere and get myself a hell of a good hard card case.

I will also promise to put up scans of my other finidings later.

I have heaps of commons to trade, but and also possibly some inserts that I am not interested in.

damn its good to be back!

Don't worry about Beckett mate! That stiff is overrated!

I would have thought $400 isn't an unreasonable sale price for it!??!!??

na. this one is staying with me for a very long time

was this box you busted 2007/08 ud western conference?

yes it was.

i promised you guys yesterday i will put a better scan of it, and will do so today. im just placing everything in order, and with my missus around, i'm not being as efficient as i can be.

I bought a box of the eastern conference of this and pulled a Alonzo Mourning 2 colour patch.

i have another couple of boxes of 07-08 upper deck on the way, but i havent decided whether to break them, or sell them. i'm also contemplating a big purchase from the US.

great work mate....well done

 

[midnight_show]

UD Rocks.

 

[Shaun]

Awesome mate! You gonna move that durant base rc? I'm still chasing that set and need that plus some other base/rcs

 

[GarnettFan4Life]

Wow great hit there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[DWade Collector]

Awesome Durant!!

 

[FabFiveFan]

Terrific hit. Gotta love pullin an auto of your most sought after player, but when that players happens to be Kevin Durant, well your even happier

And I also agree with your earlier comment of holding onto it for a long time. I would be doing exactly the same. Lets agree with drob50 and say $400 cash now. Imagine the $$ increase once you add an MVP and a Championship Ring to his portfolio...ka-ching!!

I've got my first ever huge haul coming from the US, hopefully early this week, and I am hoping for some mojo of this magnitude.
