Never in my wildest dreams...a first in my collecting career of 20 years

I was pissed when my LCS just had 1 case allocated to me, knowing that another big-time collector opened a lot. And I said to myself, better have one than none at all.

So, I went on to open the case with a good friend of mine taking a video of the break.

Got these on my first box...not bad at all, thinking that these were the case hits:
Nikola Vucevic Base 73/99
Harrison Barnes Game Gear Duals 64/99
Tim Duncan Material Treasures Jersey 07/75
Shawn Marion Sneaker Swatches 19/75
Gordon Hayward Material Treasures Signatures Redemption
John Thompson Signatures 18/35

Udonis Haslem Night Moves 08/25

Hakeem Olajuwon 2012-13 Flawless Yellow Plate 1/1
Kyrie Irving Colossal 43/60 (a rare bold, clean auto all throughout)

Tim Hardaway, Jr. NBA Material Prime RC 05/25 (JERSEY #!!!)

Then, I proceeded to open the second box, expecting nothing much since box 1 seemed to be the main hit box...

Russell Westbrook Base 34/99
Roy Hibbert Game Gear Signatures 01/75 (ebay 1/1???)
James Harden Timelines 91/99 (the card is probably 250pts thick!! Was there a need to make it that thick??? HTH are we to store it?)
Harrison Barnes Air Apparent 85/99 (what poor stacking Panini did in a high-end product; same player in one case)
Serge Ibaka Game Gear Duals 13/99
Tony Parker Game Gear Duals Prime 06/25

James Worthy Gold Scripts 07/25 (HOF collectors, here's your chance to get this; awesome on hand)

John Stockton Sneaker Swatches auto redemption

Andre Iguodala Printing Plate 2012-13 Flawless 1/1 Yellow Plate
Tracy McGrady Printing Plate 2013-14 Spectra 1/1 Cyan Plate

And the box hit...
Victor Oladipo Sneaker Swatches auto RC 20/49

Finally, thinking that the third box was just ministerial, I proceeded to open the third box...boy, did I get the surprise of my life as a collector...

Danny Granger Base Gold Parallel 01/25 (another ebay 1/1 ???)
Udonis Haslem Game Gear Duals Jersey 28/99 (one player, 2 cards in a case!)
Tony Parker Material Treasures 17/75 (can't they do better with stacking a variety of players in one case?)
Tom Chambers Lasting Legacies 26/99 (finally, a new player

)
Clyde Drexler X Factor Jersey 40/99 (great design

)
Gail Goodrich Gold Scripts 17/25
Andre Roberson RPA 43/99 (jumbo patch is a beauty!)

Grant Hill Game Changers 49/60 (I like the full player profile pic)

And then, the unthinkable happened.....
