Just received my 'small' order!!!



Here's a list of all the boxes (starting from the top left):
  • 2x 2013 Upper Deck 'All-Time Greats' box
  • 2x 2013/14 Upper Deck 'UD Black' box
  • 2x 2013/14 Panini 'Preferred' box
  • 2x 2011/12 Upper Deck 'Exquisite Collection' box
  • 2x 2011/12 Panini Gold Standard box
  • 1x 2013/14 Panini 'Innovation' Limited Edition Redemption pack
  • 1x Box 2010/11 Upper Deck 'Ultimate Collection' box
  • 1x Pack 2012/13 Panini 'Prizm' Hobby pack
  • 1x 2013/14 Panini 'Select' mini-box
  • 1x 2013/14 Leaf 'Best of Basketball'
  • 1x 2000/01 Upper Deck Series 1 Hobby Box
  • 1x 2004/05 Topps Hobby Box
  • 1x 2004/05 Upper Deck Hobby box
  • 1x 2009/10 Upper Deck Retail box
  • 2x 2004/05 Upper Deck 'SP Signature' box
  • 1x 2007/08 Fleer 'Hot Prospects' retail box
  • 5x 2012/13 Panini 'Brilliance' hobby pack (Bonus from D&A)
  • 6x 2012/13 Panini 'Hoops' hobby pack (Bonus from D&A)
  • 13x 2012/13 Panini 'Hoops' Retail pack (Bonus from D&A)

This order was meant to keep by box-busting temptations at bay for a while, so I'm going to divide it into multiple breaks - one will be tonight, and the other next month.

I also have the following still on the way for what will probably make for break #3 in March:
  • 1992/93 Topps Stadium Club Series 2 Hobby
  • 2008/09 Skybox Premium Series 1 Hobby
  • 2004/05 Upper Deck SPx Hobby
  • 2005/06 Upper Deck SP Authentic Hobby
I figure that all of this should keep me going for a while

I did break those boxes yesterday, but I didn't get home from my brother's place until about 1:30 AM, so didn't get a chance to post up the hits.

In summary, the break went pretty much as I expected:

Good breaks - Exquisite, All-Time Greats, Preferred
Solid breaks - Best of Basketball, Gold Standard
Mediocre breaks - everything else

I'll post up the actual hits and scans later tonight! Aside from one or two cards that I really like the others will mostly be up for trade/sale, so if anybody sees any they are interested in just let me know.

P.s.
It was very hard not to break the rest of the boxes when I got home, just out of sheer curiosity! Not sure if I will hold off as planned or if I will just end up busting them all tonight :/ lol
 
Haha so you guys were right!!!

I finally finished busting all of the boxes and getting everything together (and in cases / top loaders) together and wow...I'm glad I did break them all!!!

Since it's so late I'm just going to quickly pop up a list of some of the better hits I pulled - if I get time I'll put the pics up of those, if not then tomorrow.
