World Cup breaks - running break

[yiguiri2002]

I'm gonna be opening boxes for every matchday on the World Cup (Thanksgiving long weekend being the exception). Started this off on Sunday with this 20/21 La Liga Mosaic box. Highlights were:

Kang-In Lee Gold Prizm /10
Ivan Zamorano Scripts Auto

Great break, as I'm pretty sure I made my money back on this. You also get a full base set and some duplicates (Pedri RC was one of mine).

Followed this up with a box of Fifa Score for the US game on Monday. Wasn't great but at least got some nice cards. Highlights were:

Sergino Dest Pink Lava /25
Eden Hazard Orange Lava /99

Other numbered was an Orange Lava. Didn't get anything out of the Red Lavas either.

There was a sale on these and picked 4 up. Ended up being 35 a piece and bust them between Tuesday and Wednesday (coming back on Monday to rip more boxes). Here are the highlights:

KDB Genesis
John Stones Will to Win Gold Flourescent 10/10
Adam Taggart Gold Flourescent 10/10
Pedri Gold Reactive
Raspadori Gold Reactive RC

Got lucky with the Genesis and the two Golds in 4 boxes. Good way to start Thanksgiving.

Yeah that's crazy luck out of 4 boxes! Nice!

Thanks! Got really lucky with the hits and players

After the long weekend, came back on Monday with last year's blaster. These were hot at the start with one numbered card. Didn't get so lucky this time:

Fede Valverde Pink /175
Lassina Traore Pink X-Fractor

That was pretty much it. Refractors were bad and didn't even get decent base (no Bellingham, Xavi or Musiala)

[yiguiri2002]

My go to choice for the US game...and it disappointed. At least they made it to the knockout stages! Here are the "hits":

Martin Satriano Blue /150
Isaac Lihadji Aqua /199 (thought it was David lol)
Stefan de Vrij Silver Diamonds /275
Pefok Refractor RC
Alejandro Balde RayWave RC

Yup, not to much to look at on this one

[yiguiri2002]

Crazy set of games today (especially Group C) and the box didn't disappoint. Highlights were:

Messi Pink Lava /25
Cody Gakpo Red Lava RC (crazy to see what his cards are going for)
Harry Kane Game Face (case hit)
Mbappe Red Lava (PC)
Pedri Red Lava
Modric Orange Lava /99

Always a great box when you hit a SSP Messi. The rest was pretty good too, including the case hit.

[yiguiri2002]

Spain was playing on Thursday so I figured I would bust this. Decent chance at numbered cards, at least I hit some:

Ruben Vezo Orange Fluorescent /25
Niko Williams Will to Win Mosaic RC

Numbered card was nice but the Niko was even nicer. Selling well and he doesn't have that many rookies.

[yiguiri2002]

Last day of group play and broke a Mosaic box. Had these for a while so I figured I would break one. Not too bad:

Ivan Toney Blue Prizm /99 RC
Luke Ayling Montage White Prizm /25
Billy Sharp Autograph

Nothing special from the rest but at least the top two hits were OK

[yiguiri2002]

Didn't break the day of the US game so saved this box for the England game. Nice break at current prices, can see it going down a little more down the line:

Thomas Partey Auto
Bukayo Saka Red Mosaic Prizm /159
Ivan Toney Blue Prizm RC /340
Junior Firpo Purple Prizm /99
Gabriel Martinelly Fireworks Silver "RC"
Mo Salah Multi-Color Prizm
Diogo Jota Pink Prizm

There were other numbered and minor cards but this was pretty much it. Nothing spectacular but not a bad break at current prices.

[yiguiri2002]

Went with Serie A for the Brazil game since I haven't break that in a while. Pretty good box, happy with the results:

Sandro Tonali Stained Glass
Roberto Pereyra Scripts Auto Redemption
Alessandro Bastoni Blue Prizm /99
Denzel Dumfries Pitch Masters Mosaic RC

Not much after the Stained Glass but when you get a decent Stained Glass, there's not much to complain about.

Just saw this. I'll send you a PM later about it.

[yiguiri2002]

Ripped these in the quarterfinals. Wasn't really that successful but figured I'll share. Collation is terrible this year. Highlights:

Pavlovic Blue Wave /199
Woo-Yeong Jeong Blue Wave /199
Caicedo Green Wave RC

Nothing more really. Hitting a couple of numbered cards is nice but pretty bad break overall.

[yiguiri2002]

Busted this while watching the semis. Looking for a Vlahovic, Leao or Mount. Awesome game, OK box:

Kang-In Lee Contenders Ticket Red
Nicolo Zaniolo Contenders Ticket Red
Joe Willock Contenders Ticket Red
Alexander Isak Panini Red RC
Adama Traore Purple Laser RC

[yiguiri2002]

Figured it was time to open a WC related product during the semis. Not a bad box:

Jamal Musiala Overdrive
Josh Sargent Scripts Auto
Ricardo Pepi Mosaic "RC"

Decent auto and of course great case hit. Sucks that I didn't get a numbered card though.

[yiguiri2002]

Busted this for the 3rd place game hoping to find an Osimhen, CR7 or Zlatan. Didn't get very lucky but at least I picked up some PC stuff:

Dusan Vlahovic Red Prizm
Gianluca Scamacca Mosaic Prizm RC
Ronaldo Will to Win Mosaic Prizm
Hakimi Blue Prizm /99
Lorenzo Montipo Pink Prizm /25
Mattia Perin Auto

[yiguiri2002]

Left this box for the end. What a game and it made sense to break a World Cup box with it. If only the box was half as good as the game:

Bamba Dieng Blue Breakaway /49
Trent Sainsbury Red Breakaway /99
Noa Lang Breakaway
Sofyan Amrabat Breakaway
Carlos Rodriguez Silver Prizm RC
USA Connections Silver Prizm
Porugal and Spain Emblems

[SleepyWill]

Are these up for sale or PC only?
