I thought I'd share my Michael jackson mojo with you guys. I been a huge MJ fan since i was a kid and watched thriller over and over again. Being a huge card fan when i heard Panini were bring out a MIchael Jackson Trading Card set i thought I'd pick a few up off ebay. While looking I saw the boxes were only $50US each so i grabbed 2. I really wanted a relic worn card but thought i'd get a box or 2 and see how i go. When I recieved the boxes I saw that relic cards were 1 per case for each relic sub set which there are 3. So i had a pretty slim chance of hitting one of those 3 relics in my 2 boxes (cases are 24 boxes). I opened the 1st box and bang
Michael Jackson Televised Fashions #249 made. The swatch came from a vest MJ wore on American Bandstand and Soul Train in 1974. He also wore the vest on a Bob Hope special.
I was so happy I thought I'd sit on the other box for a while. After a few days of it staring at me i thought what the heck and broke the other. You wouldn't believe it.
Michael Jackson Jackson Live Threads #179 made, from a Boyd Clapton design outfit he wore in 1971 for publicity photos and live stage performances during a Jackson 5 national tour.
I was so happy until a few days ago i was going through the commons and 8 gold 4 platinum and 1 diamond cards per box and saw a Sequins insert that was in a pack from my 1st box which had a relic in it. I looked the Sequin card up on ebay ended items and to my amazement there were selling for between $200-$300US. The relics have been selling for around $100-$150 each.
Here's a scan of the Sequin card numbered 3 of 4. ( I contacted a seller in the US who told me he broke 2 and a half cases and only pulled 1.)
So far $100US I think i did a heap better than buying a relic card off ebay. And to pull 2 by myself makes them even more special and will be going straight to my PC to never be sold.
Hope you guys like my pulls and hope to here your comments.
