Box Bustin X 4

FabFiveFan · Jul 14, 2012

OK, so since I now cant be f'd opening any packs of Hoops base, I am gonna let you all in on my theory about my "place" in the basketball card universe. I am one of the below average guys in the "luck" category. I buy my fair share of boxes, mostly individually, and only on rare rare occasions do I get the hit that makes people go "oooh, that's nice", and yet I, like most of us all, keep coming back for more. Why? I have no idea, yet I keep asking myself the same thing every time I open that last pack of the box, and it doesnt have "the one" that you were after...

And so onto the last box tonight. Past & Present, the one that I have been looking forward to for the last hour or so...

Maybe I spoke to soon. 1st Pack have busted a Prime Gamers of James Anderson 19/25. Are these still getting busted at 1 per case or has it been more than that recently? Very happy all of a sudden

FabFiveFan · Jul 14, 2012

OK, so next few packs havent provided quite the excitement of the 1st pack, but thats to be expected of course after busting the Prime beauty 1st up, and it is a very nice patch as well, cant wait to get pic up.
So on with the bust, next four packs gave me:

Raining 3's - Chris Mullin
Breakout - Tyler Hansbrough
Elusive Auto's - Rory Sparrow

AND: Fireworks - Kevin Durant...still happy

FabFiveFan · Jul 14, 2012

OK, so just over half way thru, so a quick progress report,

Fireworks - Tyreke Evans
Breakout - OJ Mayo & John Wall
Raining 3's - Jason Terry
Changing Times - Harry Gallatin

AND Alternative Series Insert - Paul Pierce Card No 20

I will list all of the "Bread for" inserts at the end

MOJO to you!

FabFiveFan · Jul 14, 2012

Next 4 packs, not bad either:

Changing times - Lebron James & George McInnis
Breakout - DeJuan Blair
Fireworks - Dirk
and in same pack (extra auto?) Elusive Auto - Brent Barry

FabFiveFan · Jul 14, 2012

OH WOW. And here was me thinking that the 1st pack had the big hit. Well not quite...

Pulled the redemption card out of 2nd last pack, just quickly checked to see if it was 2011 or 2012, only to see that it is 2012... THE WHOLE COMPLETE SET

shammgod · Jul 14, 2012

Oh WOW! Congrats man, that is some crazy, sick, insane MOJO!!!!!!!

Time to take this back!

FabFiveFan · Jul 14, 2012

Now that I have taken a minute to compose myself, I have realised I forgot to list the other inserts from last few packs, still in shock over the best card I have busted in a loooooong time. Will be getting this one redeemed asap

So remaining inserts were:
Changing Times - Clyde Lovellette
Breakout AUTO - Gordon Hayward
Elusive Auto - Tim Hardaway

Also pulled these Bread for cards:

Bread for Life: Mark Jackson (Are the Bread of LIFE one per box?)
Bread for Health: Zach Randolph, Ray Allen, Andre Iguodala
Bread for Energy: Darren Collison, Jrue Holiday, Hakim Warrick & Mehmet Okur.

What a fantastic box. 4 Autos, a Prime Gamers AND best of all 2012 Complete Rookie Set Redemption! Absolutely makes up for the epic fails that the first 3 boxes provided. Maybe this is why I keep coming back.

So, cheers for looking. Most of this will be available (NOT the Redemption, just to be clear right from the outset, as this one will be redeemed by the time most of you all read this), but I will get it all sorted out and put it up in a sale thread that I was planning to set up.

I agree. Comment retracted lol. I think that I may have just increased my "luck rating" quite considerably.

shammgod · Jul 14, 2012

That's awesome. If this draft class lives up to its potential, you might just have quite a few gems in a few years' time
Be sure to show us how Panini sends a complete 25-card redemption set over!
Personally, have never seen one like that before, looking forward to it!

WhoDat · Jul 14, 2012

Awesome result! Come get ya Gold next week and keep the streak going

It will be interesting to see how much he sells it for. 17 declined offers! He is playing hardball lol. I have seen a couple of others that have gone for just under and just over $300. Lovin it!
