Hello, I have been into collecting cards since the 90s but stopped but kept in touch with the beckett, ebay and the internet. So Im sort of getting back into it and see what im going to get, I know most people on here trade cards or sell them, I might do that when I getting more serious again.
So the question is how iam i going to get serious? Well to introduce myself and get into the card scene.
Ive been watching alot of Basketball box breaks on youtube.com and Ive decided to do a old school & new school box breaks and pack breaks.
Here a list of things that I will be busting open,
A handful of packs from 1980 Topps (Bird and magic rookie year)
A handful of packs from 1986 Fleer (Jordan,Malone,Barkley,Hakeem, Clyde rookie year)
A box of 1996/97 Topps Chrome (Kobe, Iverson, Nash, Ray Allen rookie year)
3 box case of 2007/08 UD Exquisite (Durant, Horford, Oden rookie year)
Also I need advice on opening a box which I paid pretty cheap for like 1/4 the price.
2003/04 Exquisite Box (Lebron, Wade, Melo, Bosh rookie year)
Im not sure if I'll should open it or keep it unopen, give us some advice guys. What do you think i should do, a few people have said you should break it because it got some good stuff in it but Im thinking most of the good stuff is found. Well Im not sure, if Im convinced to open it I will most likely open it with this lot.
Im going to film each pack/box era on its own so Ill be making a few videos, I will break the boxes/packs in about 2 or 3 weeks time and then upload them as soon as.
Anyone wants to shout out about something please do so,
On youtube.com my user name is the same user name on ozcardtrader, it johnsmithysmithy but there no videos at all as yet.
Hey mate that's great that your gonna try and get yourself back into serious collecting
Tell us who you collected before or if you have any favourite players I may be able to help you out and of course all the other ozcardtraders
As for the box of 03-04 Exquisite I would have opened it a long time ago if you know what I mean with LBJ, WADE and all the others that'd be great to pull a rookie of there's
That is some super duper serious box breaking ahead of you, right there. Good luck with it, if MOJO comes your way you'll instantly have an awesome collection.
That's professional busting, that is. No fingerprints, moisture or oils on those cards (well, only those from the UD staff that packed out the boxes in the first place).
