Hey Guys,
Broke another 06-07 Fleer Ex purchased from Dream Cards today!! Sadly this one is not live; but does come with a bit of a story...
After my innaugural visit to Dream Cards on Wednesday night where I purchased myself a box of 06-07 Fleer Ex I decided that I just had to have another box of these bad boys; i'd been waiting months for my first and was instantly hooked upon pulling the AI Essential Credentials Future.
When I was purchasing the first box I noticed (and they commented) that the Ex had been the best selling product of the first day. So I decided a PM to Carter was required to reserve me one more box before they sold out; just because I knew I couldn't make it there until the weekend. So I shot him off a PM asking him to reserve a box and write my user name in big black texta! He instantly oblidged.
So this afternoon I had a bit of time up my sleeve and said "stuff it; i'll head in and pick up the box". When I got there there were 3 customers already in the store and they had a video break in progress. While that was going on I got to talking with one of the other customers...turned out it was AJ23 from this forum. Had a chat with him for a while...great guy too! Turned out it was simonetta0204 doing the video break watched by Rogerbid23. ...not sure what he pulled??
While I got to talking with AJ23 it turned out he was gonna purchase an Ex box as well. So once the video break was complete he handed over his cash and proceeded to break the box; unfortunately he didn't get himself any big hits... While all this was going on I was thinking to myself; do I ask about the box I requested with my name or do I just make my purchase?? Knowing that AJ23 just broke his box in the store I knew I would be unable to take mine home for an Ozcard Trader Live Break; so I just decided not to say anything and make a purchase.
So after AJ23's break I said; yeah give me one too! As per Dream Card style they grabbed the whole case brought it to the counter and let me pick which ever box I wanted. I looked down into the case and there were 7 boxes left; all of them were facing one direction and one box was facing the other direction...I instantly knew this was the box for me! So I made my choice and put it on the counter ready to break. All of a sudden Carter says "wait!" "I've put someones name on a box for them" I turned the one I had chosen over and this is what I saw...
This was destiny; this box was mean't for me!!
I proceeded to break starting with the left side as I like to do. Finished the left side with 2 hits; Farmar Rookie AU & Bobbie Simmons clearly authentics AU. So so start...
At this point AJ23 had run from the store; he had is car parked and he didn't want to cop a ticket!
Now for the right side; my favorite side. Busted the first pack..all base..busted the second..filler
..but decided to turn it over and check the base out anyway 
J A M B A L A Y A!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Frikkin Sweet...a nice HOFer to add to my tiny JAMBA collection!
I was stoked; have been dreaming of pulling a JAMBA and I ended up pulling one in my second box ever of this product!!
After the JAMBA I just finished with a Kwame Brown patch and some more base; the scans of the rest are below...
Just want to thank Carter for his awesome service and I look forward to giving him more of my Cash in the future...way to pick the MOJO mate!!
Oh and you may see the end of the break on one of Carters threads; in all the excitement he pulled out the camera to finish the break live...
