Nice effort mate, you're busts were very enjoyable to watch even though I should be studying. I reckon you did pretty nicely for your first box. Bad luck on not getting a Betts Signature Card, if I get one you can have first dibs on it but considering I only get packs and not boxes I've never really been lucky enough to pull one but nevertheless you'll be the first to know.
Good to see you pulled the Superstar Gem of your favourite team. It's always good to bust the card you want instead of buying it, feels more special. Well done on the Judd and Betts Fab4 as well.
Card ratios are on the back of the packs so the hits you pulled were pretty standard. Generally Signatures are 1 in 144, Superstar Gems are 1 in 36, Draft Rookie Cards are 1 in 18, Rising Star Gems are 1 in 18 and Fab4s are 1 in 6.
That blank card you got was just a production error and if you email
info@selectaustralia.com.au a nice lady called Di can replace it for you. It appears to me you were missing a 2nd Draft Rookie Card which seems pretty common when people find a blank card so just let her know plus you have these awesome videos as proof. I don't know if you can choose the replacement you get but perhaps you can ask for DR18 Matthew Watson card, he plays for Carlton. Sometimes I've heard she gives you more than you deserve just as an apology for your troubles so hopefully you get lucky this time. But some people like the blank card for the novelty of them so you could always keep it.
Don't worry I get excited over commons too. Generally you can get a full common set from a box but this year they've randomised it a lot more so most boxes will have a few missing and have a few doubles. I'm with you about the checklists, no one can read them anyway and who ticks their cards off them anyway that's what their online checklists are for. But if you want to get a full set you have to get them too and since parallels are a shiny version of every common I guess checklists have to go shiny too.
I hope I covered all your queries in your video, if not just ask and someone will be happy to answer you.
Well done again on finding a box, I've only been able to get 6 packs so far but I've busted 2 Draft Rookies and a Fab4 so I'm happy because I beat the odds by a long shot. Hopefully I can get a box one day too. Hope we can do a deal some time too. I've got a Harley Bennell Draft Rookie Card if you want it since I know you didn't bust many in your travels. I like the Gems so since in terms of ratios Draft Rookies are the equivalent to Rising Star Gems perhaps we can do a straight swap for either one you pulled, I need both of them.
Good luck with those packs you bust, might get some today but won't bust them until after my exams.
