houdini's 2019 Holiday Mystery Box $99.99 - Series I (Pete Alonso)

[Chief286]

Hopefully mine makes it, but I’m not optimistic. Was scheduled for today but now shows “it will arrive later than expected” and hasn’t been scanned since the 10th. I also can’t find a package weight.

Ya mine was supposed to be delivered Wedneday but it’s now late somewhere in the USPS system, I hope the package makes it out alive.

My 3 boxes had great unopened pack value but my hits were bad lol. It was fun though and definitely worth the price of admission. Thanks houdini!

Finally got to open my Alonso today. Had been traveling. I actually thought it was something else at first due to how light it was. Once I opened the package and realized what it was I knew I got one of the good ones since it was so dang light.

Box 114 (another sign it’s a good one since 14 is Houdini’s ‘magic’ number) came with a Transcendent Trout auto 15/15

The best part is, I actually have one of the other Transcendent Trout autos, also 15/15 that I got in one of Houdini’s swag bag breaks. So now I own two different Trout Transcendent autos both numbered 15/15.

Might try to add a pic later. Busy after traveling.

Thanks Houdini.

I also got my eloy one. Havent opened it yet

EDIT: Added pics.

2 boxes - skunked on mine as well this year, nothing worth mentioning

[Chief286]

Box 130 had good pack value for me. Fun assortment of old and new, too.

Box 030 had 2 junk packs, the standard Alonso card, and a Miguel Cabrera red Brooklyn auto. The value was within limits, but opening a box to a single, fair-value card of the guy not in the title will deter me from buying again. Just lacking all fun to get a single, pay to ship it twice, pay commission, to get back to where I started.

Thanks.

Cracked 5 Alonso Boxes w/ my buddy Costa19 over the weekend and we did very well

Out of 5 mystery boxes, we received:

3 packs of 2019 Topps Chrome Sapphire
3 packs of 2019 Bowman Draft Super Jumbo
4 packs of 2019 Bowman Draft Jumbo
6 packs of 2019 Topps Chrome Update
4 packs of 2019 Bowman Chrome
7 packs of 2018-19 Court Kings
10 Topps Now Pete Alonso RC's
2 Topps Living Set Pete Alonso RC's
And an assortment of packs from the 1988-2018 that didn't yield much but were a fun rip regardless.

The value of the wax alone was definitely there as promised, and we were lucky enough to connect on 2 big pulls in the packs.

Last pack of sapphire had a Tatis RC rookie staring at us (Already sold for $450)

And we had to tweet @ Houdini a pic of our big pull from the first pack of Super Jumbo that we opened. Gotta love knowing the rest of the break is gravy when you pull something like this in your first mystery box:





Thanks Houdini

I’ve received my nonsports boxes which will be a blast to open Christmas Day. Not had shipping notification on these though. Was hoping for a 9 box break of I, II and III. Missed the Tatis boxes as they went live and sold out while I was sleeping (GMT)...

Got my tracking for these. Excited.

In the meantime, I removed the baubles from my nonsports mystery boxes...

Opened my 4 boxes. Best box was number 126 (9 x 14..... I like what Houdini did there)




Box 126 had this rather nice Emerald Ohtani!

I purchased a series 1 alonso box and got 114 as well. And the theoryof the "14"s being good did not apply to me as i posted earlier in thread i got an absolute dud box

I got 100 that was suppose to be a special box too, but houdini had stated earlier in this thread those boxes he set aside got mixed with all the boxes by the shippers, so the numbers in these boxes didnt really mean anything special
