did you get it from ebay from seller "uncleartica"? I was gonna buy a box from this guy but I PM a few people who bought from him and all got crap. They examined their boxes and even cases but saw nothing unusual too, but one guy bought a case and the best card was a Randy Foye Limited Logo. Sometimes the sellers do such a good job that you won't be able to detect anything.
Damn! Sorry to see. That TMac is nice, but then hmmm...on the other hand, it wasn;t a full case, so it's not completely out of the question that you simply bought the 2 'Non-case hit' boxes...
Hmmm even worse. Most single boxes on eBay and the like are the known 'non-case hit' boxes because the seller has likely opened at least 1 or 2 of the other boxes, found the case hit, and doesn't bother opening the 3rd or in some cases, the 2nd and 3rd.
And Upper Deck don't have to do anything. They state the "average" odds of pulling certain cards. The only garentee they make is that you will get 1 case hit per case and at least 1 rookie per box I believe. They don't control the players put in each box. Now if it had have been Durant rather than Jason Smith, and Kobe rather then Daugherty then you'd be a happy man. It's all luck of the draw. On the plus side, you only got 1 base per box (many people get 2 base...).

It all depends on who you bought it from. If you buy it from a legit shop, then you should have no problem. I bought one box from blowoutcards and I got the MJ Number Piece Auto, and another guy bought a box there and got a Triple Logoman.

Sorry couldn't read the numbering on the Billups 1/1. And if the Kobe is a redemption I carn't read what's on the card ether. So I would put the Kobe with the magic and say that for the price people pay for these boxes these 2 would be the best and the rest arn't much to cheer about. Thats my opinon though.
Totally agree, I bought a few boxes and the thrill wasn't worth the money that I lost. Wasn't getting high hopes for Jordan or Kobe for every box, but it pissed me off when Upper Deck put 2 or sometimes even 3 rookies in their boxes. Especially since last year was one of the worst pools of rookies.
