Box Break 16/02/2012

[mattyeah]

Here is my latest.

Got:

Free: 20 packs of 2009/10 Adrenalyn XL got few more signatures for the chase set, but nothing too exciting.

1x 2008 Press Pass Blaster (Trying to get the base set completed/and also trying to do the Blue Refractor set.

Got a D.Rose Class of 2008 insert which is always nice. And narrowed down my base and refractor set.

1x 2008/09 MVP Retail (Finishing off my base set just need a few more Legends and Rookies then it's complete. And also now have a bout half of the Kobe MVP set.)

Beat the odds in this box so can't complain.

Got a Deron Williams Gold Sig #100.

A Brian Cook/Jameer Nelson Star Combos Double Patch (Shame about the players).

AND a Kobe White MVP which are one per Hobby Box.

1x 2010/11 Classics (Not bad, a bit hit and miss. After busting this and a box of 2009/10 Classics last time I can't say I'm really that enthused about them.)

Hits:

Redemption for Dress Code Signature Jersey of Andre Iguodola nice hit but one off Kobe damn.

A Kevin Johnson Membership #499

A Dwight Howard Prime Membership #49 (Really like this one.)

And a Luke Babbitt Sig #699 (Nice Sig btw)

1x 2010/11 Playoff Contenders Patches (Loved the design of these, like the ticket stubs and of course I like shiny cards so these were always going to be a winner.)

Hits:

All Base Rookie Auto's.

Eric Bledsoe

Dominique Jones

Lance Stephenson

Landry Fields

and finally 2008-08 Topps Murad T-51 ( This one didn't rally impress me as I was busting it, but after having a second look I think I really like them and it's a challenging base set to collect.)

Mini's of Russell Westbrook, Wilt Chamberlain and Larry Bird.

RC's of D.Rose and Westbrook among others.

Hits

Allen Iverson Relic Card

Redemption for a Roy Hibbert Certified Framed T-51 Mini Autograph.

And I got a 1/1 press plate Cyan of Desmond Mason (Of course it couldn't of been Durant or Westbrook...lol, but still a great hit.)

A fun break overall, nice to see some different designs.

Will be setting up a photobucket account for sale/trade items soon all of these except the Westbrook's will be available.

BTW anyone be able to hazard a guess at the press plate I imagine for a common player maybe around $30 or $40?

Nice variety bust there mate!!

I think it is a good time to hit an Iggy Auto!!! The Dwight patch isn't too bad either!

I would imagine $30- $40 is probably average for a common NBA PLAYER.... but Mason isn't a player anymore... so mayber $20.. he was dropped by the Kings in 09, and that is a statement!

BTW, hit me up with a list of what legends, kobe's, inserts you need from 08/09 MVP coz I have a pile of them in the cupboard doing nothing

Prices seem to of risen drastically at DA since this order Certified understandable with the current Green craze but 09-10 Classics have gone up about $40 too, hop it's not a sign of things to come.
