Lucky Last....

Pack 12:
Bumbed out...

Hawks Silver - Roos Gold

Ah well, they are "odds" not exacts! Have to check the other inserts, may have broken even with odds...

 

[WoobieZarz]

Oops, my mistake, Trio's are 1 per box, so I did break even I guess.

Pity it was Melbourne though. lol.

 

[WoobieZarz]

Thanks for watching. Pulled:
24 Silver/Golds
6 Milestones
3 Rising Stars
2 Best and Fairests
1 Club Trio

EDIT:
Pulled 24 Silver/Golds.

According to odds, I broke even across the board!

 

[WhiteyTheCelticsFan]

Is there signature cards in this years champions because I know there was last year?

 

[WoobieZarz]

Not that I know of, havent seen any.

Bit disappointing really. I think the idea of having "inserts" as the hits is an attempt to raise the value of base cards once again (going back to the 90s if you know what I mean).

But it's not working. These cards are selling for stuff all on Ebay. A blue redemption card might get you $25, which can be redeemed for 3/12 "3D Screamer cards", but they should be worth more than $8 bucks for a redemption card IMO.

Trio's are alright, 1 per box, you'd think they'd have more than $20 value, but they don't.

I think the TeamCoach series has more value in them (Wild Cards, etc are up around the $30+ mark I think), and they're the same $2.99 ea price tag in shops.

 

[WhiteyTheCelticsFan]

Yeah it is pretty disapointing.

I collected the 2011 Champions base set and Rising Star cards. I only bought loose packs and I was lucky enough to pull a Chris Newman Signature card (Im a Richmond fan btw ).

Im not collecting this years cards though. Not a big fan of them.

 

[WoobieZarz]

Yeah I basically started JUST to see what they were like. Kinda got an itch, and decided to get the album and finish the set. Now, the question I have is do I keep going and finish both silver and gold sets, as well as the inserts.

Reminds me of the 94-95 Collector's Choice cards really, and man did I bust open some backs of those! (bought me a case of them too, lol).

Was thinking about picking up some Teamcoach ones now, just to be different.

EDIT:
This box only cost me about $93 dlvd. So compared to the $2.99 pack price ($107.65 retail for a box), I thought it was better priced to get a box. Great seller too, possibly cheapest on ebay (TopClassCards).

 

[WhiteyTheCelticsFan]

Well there not too bad if you go for the master set.
