Speaking of the supers. I bought the Khris Davis. It arrived today and is gorgeous.

I sold that Braun for $155 on eBay to a user who now owns I think he said 33 or 34 Braun 1/1s. So I'm very happy it went to a great home.

Maybe a dumb question... you said it's been a while since you broke something for fun. What do you typically break for?

Damn. One of my favorite decisions they made is switching from green to silver on the AS refractors. The silver really pops.

Definitely not. Mine had $125-150 of value tops.

Man. Phil Hughes must have opened a lot of boxes. Lots of his color is listed on Ebay now.


Whoever does his listings does some of my Ebay pet peeves. "Invest." "Rare." I don't need you to tell me a /5 card is rare, dude.

[JRX]

What is Phil's ebay name?

[JRX]

NM found it

same. got four in six boxes on the way to psa now

[pitch21]

I went back and forth on opening. I sat down with my son tonight and we opened up all three of my MC boxes. Extremely pleased with the results.

Base: 1x Robert, 2x Bo, 2x Yordan
Boxtoppers: Gleyber, Lindor, Freeman
Refeactors: Meadows, Merrifield, Kepler
Gold Refractors: Gregorius, Gallen, Hader
Black Refractors: Dwight Smith Jr, Tommy Pham

Auto: Ronald Acuña Jr /20

Could maybe have made more money selling, but the memory of my 7 year old jumping up and down and hugging me is better than any $. For a product that only guarantees 1 refractor these are absolutely loaded as advertised

[Hollywood42]

Awesome Acuna! Let me know if the Kepler refractor is available

That’s an awesome memory!! Well worth it.

[gamboooler]

Congrats on the Acuna... that's sick one!

As an aside, that's like the third time I have seen someone hit both Meadows and Merrifield in a 2 or 3-box break.

So I guess if you open one with one of those two, Acuna coming.

[JRX]

Man Dwight Smith Jr didn't even start for Bal. How is he in the checklist Topps, totally not fair to get a gold of him lol

Only if you're not selling the Acuna. Market has yet to be set for those but it will be $1000+ I'm guessing.

[mnvikingstwins]

For how good the product is - 8 boxes = 728 cards, I graded 12 kept like 5, I've got 276 cards left priced at $566 and that's moving entirely as singles or max of 3 per lot listing. Haven't had one that good since Bowman Sapphire and Chrome Sapphire in terms of clearing out everything

Hellllooooooo then. Hahaha

[Zeldafanatic15]

Someone yesterday said my Trout/20 might be 3k-5k, I personally like the green over the gold, I feel like that might be realistic.

If you enjoy ripping at all... I have never enjoyed ripping a product as much as this one.

I ripped a lot of 2018 Update. The floor on Flashbacks is so much higher. A hobby box of Update is ~$600 and you'll usually end with your top card as the Acuna base at ~$50 with rarely anything better.

I'm sure someone will check my quick math here, but here's what I come up with...

Here... roughly half the boxes will have Robert (~$200). Half the boxes will have Trout (~$50). Half will have Lux (~$35). Half will have Acuna/Soto/Alvarez (each ~$25).

Every box is (almost?) guaranteed to have two great looking /50 cards (gold numbered, refractor not numbered) with a short, star-heavy, checklist. And half the boxes have a /25 with that same short checklist.

One in 6.5 boxes has an autograph, again from a very short checklist.
One in 8.5 boxes has a red.
One in ~45 boxes has a super.

The odds of getting a short numbered card are so much better in this product... and then after you get one, the odds of it being a good name are significantly higher.

Granted, there's a (minuscule) chance of getting a down-payment on a house in 2018 Update... but for fun... this product can't be beat.
