Thanks man!

Didn’t realize it but the cosmic dust (pack 15) is a SSP, it could be the second best pull in the box!

Grats, Hermano! Of course you got a LeBron haha.

Thanks bud!

I was prepared for a disaster. Glad it turned out alright.

Maybe I need to do these live rips more often, lol.

Ah, didn't know that it was an SSP. Probably 3rd best pull behind the LeBron and Cooper.

I think you need to do another box for a heat check. Am I right, ww?!

Haha, come on man, we both know the Cooper auto refractor is the best pull.

But when it comes to interacting with LeHermano, you must never let an opportunity slip by. You must always seize the moment and remind him of LeKing!

What are the chances that Hermano has one of the top 10 LeBron PCs in the hobby?

[hermanotarjeta]

Has anyone noticed that the cosmic chrome variation autos all have some surface dimples?

I’ve noticed some on the Flagg I just pulled and all the ones on eBay seem to have them as well.

I wonder if this is seen across all autographs? Or perhaps just the chrome refractor sheets used for the cosmic chrome variation autographs only?

Will be interesting how PSA grades these.

This one might have to be a one and done. I doubt I could top this box from a top 5 cards perspective, even if I opened several cases. I am satisfied.

That'd be a big brain move. Constantly dumping on LeBron while picking up his key cards for pennies on the dollar. Hermano is a smart guy, occasionally brilliant. I wouldn't put it past LeHermano.

That's fair. Yeah man, you're very unlikely to top it. Congrats again on a superb break, that Flagg auto is $.

[yiguiri2002]

Hermano getting a color match LeBron has to be some kind of poetic justice.

Congrats man.

I'm more shocked that he was able to clear $1300 with that break

Edit: Just saw on eBay that the redemption goes for $450 and not 1K. Still a crazy price though.

It’s just maddening to me that I couldn’t even nab a box of this at preorder before Topps jacked the price to the moon, these breakers never have to bother struggling with a release (manual or EQL), and some still have the gall to complain Topps doesn’t send them more than they are already being given.



RGL seems like a decent dude but give me a break when he complains about how other breakers are getting more and he doesn’t get enough. Like eff off when the rest of us normies have to increasingly buy secondary on any release of note AND THEY ARE THE REASON WHY

Yeah he definitely is one of the better ones online. But I have issues with them misrepresenting the price. They want all the subscribers and followers to believe them so when they drop over priced breaks no one complains. That to me is the real issue. I just dont get it.

Like you said they are not going to pony up at secondary prices. They are getting much better rates or buying off of dealer net. So why tell everyone it is 1300 a box? Just because Dave and Adam's has that price doesn't mean its legit. They can list at whatever they want. And people will buy wherever they feel comfortable.

But everyone of these guys on YouTube do the same thing.. The thumbnails are always full of full secondary pricing pictures. Or like when packman was trying sell the Dylan harper spot in one of his breaks and brow beating the crowd over pices.

Breaking has led to this lunacy and unfortunately its not going anywhere.

Thanks for sharing Dogz! We appreciate it here.

Hahah I saw your reddit post. Everyone calling you a liar lol.

I just post the usual on reddit...

These rips still won't convince me to open. You're a box away from no auto and a couple of turds /299, /150 etc

Turning $1000 into $150 - that’s what it’s all about!

Watched a break online. One box I saw would be lucky to clear $30. $150 would be the dream
