Hey all! Been a good minute since I opened some fresh wax; picked these up from Mal & DA to get the mojo juices flowing for the main eveNT (see what I did there)!


2x Leaf Metal - hands down the best value and most enjoyable break for the asking price ($119USD/box) IMO and a particularly good product for anyone collecting 50 Greatest on-card autographs.

Box 1

Dominique Wilkins Inductions auto /50
Phil Knight base ref auto /50
Robert Horry base auto
Roy Williams base auto
Scottie Pippen base auto ref /50 :D

Nice follow up with the Admiral and Mailman! As usual very happy with this product :)


1x Absolute - well there's nothing like a watered down Panini release to bring me back down to earth :P ...not too terrible a gamble at the discounted price I suppose.

Andrian Dantley Marks of Fame auto /100
Charles Oakley Marks of Fame auto /96
Andre Iguodala Iconic auto (on-card) /49
Deandre Liggins Rookie auto /abajillion

In a word... meh.

1x Contenders - my second box of this stuff, lucky to hit a super rare Kobe Hall of Fame insert in my first and looking for lightning to strike twice! Lol

Spencer Haywood Historic Contenders auto /99
Jon Lauer Rookie auto (part 1 of the dynamic duo that plagues my breaks)
Kim English Rookie auto (aaaand right on cue, part 2 of said duo)
Chandler Parsons Rookie auto

and an unexpected 5th hit... not gonna complain about it though...

Carlos Delfino Contenders Materials Prime 2/5! Featuring a totally sick-yet-ironic Bucks patch!!

I hope that last card is a prelude to what lies ahead in NT (with bigger patches and some better players of course!); and from the latest previews I'm cautiously optimistic that it won't be a complete massacre...

Thanks for the look :) be back here when the UPS guy next visits my front door! I may even actually attempt to post a live break... hmmm...

Sorry, nothing FS/T!
 
Admiral Nicknames!!! :kick::kick::kick::kick::kick::kick::kick:

Nice breaks mate! Sorry you didn't hit a decent card in the Crapsolute!
 
I really like the leaf metal product! Decent price with a chance of getting some sweet 90's autos with 1/1's as well!

The absolute was pretty horrific, but the Delfino patch in contenders was nice!
