My Weekend of Shame

[Roydngr]

Hi guys, hope everyone's well! So I went on a bit of a impromptu box break binge over the weekend - first stop Mal's @ Dandy Market, for supplies, ended up busting his 6 remaining 12-13 Gold Standard:

Auto & Jersey hits:

Not pictured are Eric Bledsoe & Luis Scola redemption autos. Metal cards were Magic, Dr. J, Parker, Love, D. Will & Wall.

The "better" stuff:

Lillard RC base /349
Kawhi Leonard RC Jersey Auto
Dion Waiters RC Jersey Auto (redemption)
Harrison Barnes RC Jersey Auto (redemption)
Harrison Barnes Gold Strike Auto (redemption)
Ekpe Udoh Platinum Base /10
Jerry West Gold Rush 14k gold piece /25
Alonzo Mourning Mother Lode Auto /75
Chris Copeland Platinum RC Jersey Auto /10
Austin Rivers Platinum Black RC Jersey Auto /1 (pretty sick looking card, let's hope he stops riding the bench)

Then on a whim I decided to visit the Sandown Collectables Fair on Sunday and was happy to meet some Ozcard members in person as well as the great team from Cherry collectables. Foolishly (very, very foolishly) I also decided to gamble on a few boxes of Immaculate that were temptingly up for sale. After busting open the 2 tins from Sonny and 1 from Cherry, I realised that I probably should have stayed in bed that day...

Here's the damage

Box 1

Greg Monroe Base /99
Charles Oakley Inscriptions Auto /99
Andre Miller Premium Patches Red /25
Austin Rivers RPA Red /25 (my Austin Rivers Mojo was high this weekend, dammit)
Tristan Thompson Immaculate Standard Jersey /75
Brian Roberts Jumbo Numbers Patch /21

Box 2

Hakeem Olajuwon Base parallel /25
Jim Jackson Inscriptions Auto /99
Fab Melo RPA /99
Arnett Moultrie Patch Auto Red /25
Westbrook/Harden/Paul Triple Jersey /99
Amare Stoudemire Logos Patch /15

Box 3

Jeremy Lin Base parallel /25
Sean Elliot Inscriptions /99
Kemba Walker RPA /99
Nikola Vucevic Patch Auto /100
Damian Lillard Immaculate Standard Jersey /75
Rajon Rondo Jersey #'d Acetate Patch /9

After forking out nearly double per box to what I paid for my preorder's (what can I say, I'm an addict), I got the equivalent of the worst box from my previous 2 cases... 3 times over! Ugh!! One thing is for certain: there are no guaranteed 'case hits' in Immac!

On the bright side, it's put me right off busting boxes/cases at least until the wave of high end hits next year (Preferred, NT, Immac etc.). That's an early new years resolution that I plan on keeping

Who says I never post a bad break?

Thanks for the look and good luck with your breaks! Nothing FT/FS, sorry!

Rough weekend, just like that your high ends with a thud back to earth. I'm sure the mojo will flow again.

Now being a Rivers collector they look like good breaks to me

Can I grab a price on both of the Austin Rivers cards you pulled please

I just saw the not FT/FS comment, you sure?

Thanks for the interest guys but I want to organize/update my PC first (I'm a few months behind) before I move anything from my breaks. I put up a sale/trade thread eventually
