Dandy Breaks, No More NT :(

It didn't take long before the insufferable itch returned
Busted this lot during my last couple of visits to our mate Mal @ Dandy Markets

Coming off an NT-induced high, I guess I was feeling particularly ballsy/stupid when I decided to try out a few boxes of this tripe:

3x 12-13 Signature Series

Base/Chase Cards

Westbrook, Curry, Parker, Duncan, Shaq all #'d /25
Mourning Emerald 1/5

Autos

Brandon Knight /10
Alonzo Gee
Jared Cunningham
Draymond Green
Kent Bazemore
Alan Anderson (wtf )
Alec Burks
Mark Aguirre
Iman Shumpert Signature Film Red redemption /25 (the one okay hit from 3 boxes!)


Ugly, ugly, ugly...

There was the reality check I needed to just STOP. Stubborn as a mule however, I pressed on:

2x 12-13 Gold Standard

Tobias Harris Gold Strike auto /249
Andre Blatche Gold Strike auto /199
Johan Petro Marks of Gold sticker auto /99
Brent Barry Mother Lode auto /75
Isaiah Thomas jersey auto
Jeremy Lamb jersey auto
Perry Jones jersey auto
Plus another forgettable scrub redemption
Monroe & Cousins Metal cards



And the two 'best' hits were:

Elton Brand Black Gold Prime Patch (sick patch - but... Elton Brand ) 4/5
Tony Parker Platinum 5/10



Okay, this is where the sensible collector would say enough already... but I demand satisfaction! LOLOL... what the hell is wrong with me anyway?? (don't answer that)

For the final few boxes I turned to some tried and true favourites...


1x 12-13 Preferred - luckily I haven't had a terrible box so far, this one yielded two 1 of 1's (granted, they aren't technically 1/1's but still better than a printing plate 1/1 IMO hehe)

New York Jersey Booklet
David Robinson Silhouette FIRST MADE 1/49 (ebay 1/1 #1!)
Harrison Barnes Crown Royale auto JERSEY NUMBER 40/49 (ebay 1/1 #2!)
Kyle Singler Panini's Choice auto /99




3x Leaf Metal Basketball - for less than the cost of the typical mid/low-end Panini scrub'n'sticker dump, you're pretty much guaranteed on-card autos from at least one legend in every box of Leaf's supremely worthy bball alternative. Love this stuff!!

Gail Goodrich base auto
Mel Daniels base auto
Ann Meyers Base auto
Lynette Woodard base auto
Sam Jones Inductions auto /50
Darryl Dawkins Unsung Heroes auto /50 (w/ 'Chocolate Thunder' inscription)
Larry Johnson base auto
Bob Houbregs base auto ref /50



And the better hits:

John Stockton base auto blue ref /25
Sam Jones base auto blue ref /25
Rick Barry base auto red ref /5
Earl Lloyd base auto red ref /5
Scottie Pippen base auto
Larry Bird base auto ref /50
Magic Johnson Inductions auto /50



So thanks to an unlicensed, little regarded and oft-derided bit player in the hobby, I'm able to walk away with a smile on my face.

Check out my redemption mailday in the relevant section of the forum for more Metal goodness....


Good luck with your breaks and thanks for the look!

Not too shabby at all, Preferred was a very nice box! LMK if Harris, Barnes and Robinson is available

Way to stick at it

I could be interested in the D. Rob if you're moving it. What do you collect?

Also, there's probably a set collector after that Black Gold Brand Patch. Don't be surprised if you do very well with that one. They sell high.

I got offered a trade for it no one would be able to refuse, on the hunt for another one now (Should really update my signature though)

No super mojo like we're used to seeing from you but some nice stuff none the less!!!

Well done mate! As always!

I really can't wait until the day you decide to make a sale thread! It is going to be EPIC!

That elton Brand has my name all over it think we should talk

Those leaf metals keep on bringing on the Mojo.
Some very nice hits mate.

Thanks guys, I was reminded of just how brutal Panini can be with some of those boxes!

PM's replied to, unfortunately I'm a compulsive hoarder when it comes to cards from my breaks... even the really crap ones have a place in my PC.

Not looking forward to my first sale thread

Wowzers roy, u busting beast you.

Congrats on the barnes jersey# by the way.
