Box Break: 11/12 Gold Standard Hobby Box

[brandonlec]

Busted this box of Gold Standard yesterday. Lets just say it wasn't my best box Not toooo bad though.

Here is what I pulled:

Ersan Ilyasova /299 Base
Timofey Mozgov AKA That one guy on that one sick Blake Griffin dunk poster /299 Base
Karl Malone /299 Base
Tracy McGrady /299 Base
Tim Duncan /299 Base

Kevin Durant Base 235/299

Al Jefferson Jumbo Jersey 028/149

Derrick Favors Jumbo Jersey 20/99

2011 Gold Standard Draft Pick Auto XRCII Redemption - Last Random Pick in the Draft.... Don't know if that's a good thing or bad thing

Moe Harkless 2011/2012 Gold Standard Rookie Redemption

Dale Ellis Auto 047/149

Joakim Noah Auto 04/49


After a terrible Retro box (best hit was a Grant Hill /150 Showcase... No PMG in the box) and now this average box, I think it's time to lay off on the boxes for a while and go back to singles.

Thanks for looking!

Cmon mate, you cant win em all. I like the favors! And as a magic fan I might want that moe harkless... Maybe lol

Not the worst break I've seen for GS mate. Moe Harkless aint gonna be no scrub, and in Orlando he may have a great chance to show his skills straight away. And also on the bright side, XRCII is not necessarily the last pick, it is simply your ticket code for the Kyrie Irving Auto lottery which takes place through Panini at end of October, so the box may still provide you with a big hit, you have a 1 in 35 chance. Then again, you also have a 1 in 35 chance that it is in fact the last pick of the draft as well, so good luck.

Ooh i like the look of those Black Gold Jersey's. They looked crap in scans so never bothered picking any up, might have to find some of my PC guys.

Oh and nice break haha

 

[Cobretti]

lol you need to do what I did,

waste a lot of money on bad luck. Then spend moderate money, and get good luck.

Not the best box, but still some nice stuff in there. Love the Dale Ellis.

I realize the redemption card is not for the last draft pick's autograph. I know it's not a true draft. (Best available to worst available)
I was touching on the fact that XRCII will be the last player picked in the random draft. There are 35 redemptions and XRCII is 35 alphabetically.
So this draft redemption has the potential to be great ("There are 4 picks left and Irving hasn't been chosen yet!!") or really bad and not fun ("There are 5 randoms left and I have no idea who any of these guys are")

I hope that makes a little bit more sense.

Cool mate, I just misread it then. Is this how they are doing the draft is it? I wasnt sure if they would simply have the players in their drafted order and then allocated a code to them. Same result either way I guess.

I want to say they are gonna have a list of names and then choose one at random somehow and say that that name is for XRCA.
And then draw another name and say that one is for XRCB.
And so on and so on...

This is what I've been told but who knows

Gotta take the good with the bad, not every box can be a winner.

I wish that draft would take place for the redemptions already!
