Blowout Old School 2 Box break and short review

jonefriedman · 05-28-2013, 02:45 PM

Hi All,

I recently ordered a two box Old School sampler (OSS) from BO. I received:

2005 HTA Bowman
2001 Stadium Club retail

Let me start by saying that all of the cards in the Stadium Club box were stuck together. I immediately emailed BO and received a 2005 Topps All American retail box as replacement. Great customer service for sure. Here are the hits:

2005 Topps All American:

Gold Chrome:
Joe Montana
Steve Spurrier

Chrome:
Jim Brown
Merlin Olson

Auto:
Chuck Cecil redemption (expired)

2005 Bowman HTA

Autos:

Frank Gore
Derrick Johnson

Relic:

Maurice Clarett

RC of Note:

Alex Smith
Aaron Rodgers

Not the largest hits in the world but always fun to pull a base rookie of a star. I have a Heisman collection so the All American box was nice as well.

Quick Review:

If you are thinking of ordering one of these OSSs, please do so. There is a ton of value in these samplers. The two boxes that I received priced out at over $100 combined. In addition, there is potential for good to great pulls. Just as importantly, I really enjoyed the break. In short, it is a great nexus between nostalgia and value.

I can post scans if anyone is interested.

Thanks,
Jon
