09 Topps Chrome and 07 SP Sig Tin break now!!!

[Big Ben Fan]

that sucks bro

 

[izy]

damn bro did you at least get the gold ref /50 that should be in every box if im not mistaken but man no auto

 

[jimboiitmac]

very dissapointing with no auto mate

 

[jinrai]

Ouch tough break man

 

[LeRoy]

Oh man that is disappointing... hit up Topps I would say.

looks like i have no other choice
i bought off Gary from Westriot so i know the box wasn't searched and he states clearly its a hobby box in the auction...might have something to do with the fact that i got one pack with 6 cards in it and 1 with 3 in it...i think topps have stuffed up somewhere in the packaging maybe???
or i might have got a retail box???
has this happened to anyone else or has anyone heard of this kinda thing b4?
if so what was the outcome...

nah mate..i wish i did though
lowest #'d card was the 4 x X-Fractors /288

i believe the color of the retail box is blue good luck with topps if its a hobby box then a phone call is a must

 

[A1CardsandGaming]

Unlucky mate, better luck with the next bust

 

[LeRoy]

i believe the color of the retail box is blue good luck with topps if its a hobby box then a phone call is a must

well my box is blue...and i also noticed on the packs they have a $2.99us price at the top...i've opened a retail box haven't i...
might have to msg Gary before i hit up topps i think...

 

[LeRoy]

i just went back and looked at my ebay and his auction of the Topps Chrome box says under the blue banner in the description its a hobby box...

08-09 TOPPS CHROME NBA SEALED 24 PACK BOX REFRACTORS AU - eBay (item 220357641364 end time Feb-22-09 03:25:35 PST)

maybe its a mistake on his behalf but thats what i went off when i bought it, i see he has the yellow hobby boxes in now which definetly weren't on his list last weekend when i looked...

yeah ive worked that 1 out.....only now though unfortunetly
it still says its a 'hobby' box under the blue banner in the description which is what i went off when deciding to buy it, also no where on the auction does it even say its even a 'retail' box...if it had that in the title where it should be there's NO WAY i would of spent $130 on this box

 

[DGCollectables]

alright, i did make a mistake on the ebay title within the description. i'm talking to leroy now about it. i didn't intend to pass off a retail as a hobby. i used the hobby template and didn't make all the changes that i intended, just missed one. thanks.

 

[DGCollectables]

yeh and it is more embarrassing for me than for leroy but we can work things out. cheers.

 

[Chowpei]

yeah mate, lucky you bought off gary and not some tool who would really try and scam people..

 

[Benny J]

Nice work Gaz....as others have said, lucky it was bought from you and not someone who would intentionally rip someone off!!

 

[DGCollectables]

yeh, a bit of a costly mistake on my behalf though. must have been half asleep when listing the item

 

[DGCollectables]

i tried to give leroy a call, and sent him an email and a pm but he didn't get back to me. must be busy. but anyhow i went to the post office today and sent him a chrome hobby box in the end because i made an honest mistake and he gets the hobby box and the retail box in the end (can now make a full set or 2). hope he enjoys it when he receives it mid week. thanks.
