Default Has anyone ripped a case of any of these products

I won a free case in the NCAA promo. I have checked Ebay for ending auctions on all of these as well as checking for what might be in the SP Signature for redemptions. I'm just looking for some feedback from those who may have ripped a case or good amount of these. I am looking to flip everything to get as much out of it as I can. I will most likely take what I make and buy some Football product from Blowout. Ok I will take what I make and buy Football from Blowout, who am I tryng to fool.

2005/06 UD SP Signature Bskt 24 bx case
2008 Donruss Americana Sports Legends 10 bx case
2008 UD SP Authentic Baseball 12 Box case
2007/08 Topps Stadium Club Bskt 12 box case

I personally would go for an UD product for the main purpose of possibly pulling Jordans.

Authentic baseball. You'll either make $100 per box or $10.

I've broken a few of the SP Authentic baseball cases. Decent breakup value. Most boxes have one By the Letter auto patch with a few big names that are SPs and bring decent value (i.e. Jeter, Wang, Griffey). However, most of the letters will only get you a few dollars. You will also get a jersey/auto RC and an auto RC out of most boxes with Longoria being the big pull along with Bruce, Cueto, and a couple of others, including the USA Tate. Again, most of the autos, including the jersey autos, are in the $5 range give or take a few bucks. Each box should also have 6 YSLs which should be good for around a buck each.

In terms of case hits, you should get at least one USA auto which could be a big hit if it is a Strasburg Letter or a Tate patch/auto but the odds are against you on that. You should also get a few of gold parallels #/50 (I usually get 1 base, 1 rookie auto, and 1 rookie patch/auto per case) and a YSL jersey which could be good if it is Babe Ruth. There are also some random big hits like the Sarah Palin Presidential Predictor (I got $110 for the last one I pulled) and I believe the Signs of History Presidential Auto redemptions are in that product although I've never pulled one.

I have yet to sort my break so I can't be sure about sets but you will probably end up with at least 10 base sets and at least one of each 50 card insert set per case. All in all, I like the product since I'm collecting the USA autos and YSL stuff. If I was looking to maximize flip value, I'm not sure they are the way to go since I'm not familiar with the other products. Overall, you'll definately get some money back from breaking this case but barring a huge hit, you'll probably end up with quite a bit less than the retail price of the case.

Thank you, just the type of info I am looking for.

I would personally try to flip whatever box you get if your just trying to get football anyways. If you want to rip then either UD SPA BB or the BK Signature. You could pull a Jordan or some big name if you lucky. GL with whatever you decide to do.

I'd go with the Americana. I ripped SPA Baseball and did horrible. Like someone else said earlier, its hit and miss but the misses greatly out number the hits and are huge losers.
