I was at the the lcs today trading in the last of my buybacks for a mega case and 5 loose boxes.

Got the out the door price way down thanks to all the buys backs and made me feel much better about opening. Traded 1500 in buy -backs that I was into for around 700. So I ended up out the door at 1400 for everything..

This to me is the only way to get these. Certainty makes them a much more palatable break.

There was someone there who ripped 15 megas and nothing but a couple Cooper inserts. He had one auto and a advisory of kasparas.

He wasnt one of the regulars and was hoping these at 100 bucks a piece. Regulars get much better pricing at the shop. I guess there are some advantages to buying a lot every year.

Said he was chasing homerun.

So there are plenty of bad rips out there. Watched some people get crushed on hanger box cases while some are completely loaded.

The first 5 megas that I opened from the shop were trash. I should have left them sitting there. But I committed to buying them before I asked the guy how he was doing... oh well win some lose some. I was able to get a bunch of X-fractors to help me gwt close om the set.

The sealed case was much better.
