I get drawn into hype occasionally. I am a bit of a sucker. When Stale Gum reported that there may be short printed cards in specially marked 2011 Heritage packs, I scurried to Target and dropped a couple of 20's on gravity feed packs. Was I pack searching? Probably. I was looking for numbers on the wrappers. The result... bust. No special numbering, no short print bonanza.
Lately, I have seen a couple of pieces written about 2011 Topps Value boxes.
Olds at Beckett has a
blurb about it.
Mario
wrote about it a couple weeks ago.
This dude at
DPM Sportscards broke a box last October, and hit a relatively rare card.
I am feeling that itch to try my luck with one of these things.
A ton of people on Blowout have been buying these up and pulling some surprisingly good stuff, mostly from the Chrome, including colored Refractor autos and 1/1s. It's as hit or miss as anything else but it's turned out some pretty decent stuff for some.
ReplyDeleteI got an auto, nothing major out of one, from the Chrome.
ReplyDeleteIn the topps packs I've had decent luck too with one jersey and one auto redemption.
A pretty decent deal if you ask me.
