4 cases of 2013 Bowman Jumbo
most valuable card: orange pike auto
not one correa, buxton, miller, profar or machado auto
not one red, purple, or social auto
(and no sf obviously, but those dont come in packs anway, we all know the card fairy has to visit your house 9 times with a confectionary treat THEN on the 10th time she brings you the SF auto, and ONLY if your Ebay feedback is less than 5 or more than 10000)
i digress, sorry
for my $207 spent (for all meyers, sanchez chrome autos, and miller chrome autos) i got 1 base sanchez auto and 1 ref sanchez - 0 meyer - 0 miller ( i cant help it - i was a pitcher - i buy pitchers )
i didnt want to spend $170 for beras - of which 3 base autos were the final haul or $270 for correa - of which there was zero of any card of any kind
i did bid $415 on buxton but got sniped with 1 second left (if i would have spent $622 for 2 sanchez autos i would be on suicide watch - $207 was bad enough) - there were also no buxton cards of any kind - the break didnt show base or chrome base - just the topps 100's and up from there
the guy doing this break was majorlp09 - it had been 2 years since i last did a break with him for 2012 museum - i cant remember anything that happened before last week so i gave him another shot - having forgetten totally about the 2012 museum "live" break that was finally shown 2 days later and missing the case hit metal framed auto - i ended up with a full refund citing SHENANIGANS! - and hadnt noticed this break was "him" until i ended up on his youtube chanel when the horror came back to me in a rush - by then it was too late
the break did go off live today and i watched the entire painful 3 hours of it - mispronouncing every single player not named jones - i just get this vibe that the guy is only doing this for money, as in 'has no interest in cards or even baseball' - i calculate somehwere near $7500 in lots sold for the 4 case break - by selling spots for auto, colored refs, diecut, base blue/orange/red, mini etc there were like 5 different lots of each kind of card for each player - ....and not one single buxton or correa card of any kind in the entire 4 cases?
i am sorry for the long thread post - i dont post often at all - but i do love reading 'most' of your threads - i just wanna know...is it even possible to fix a live break? box opened - 8 packs opened - 3 autos in each box - looked normal to me - but the outcome just seemed impossible - did topps really water this years release down that much? with all the added stuff like minis, diecut autos, social media autos, etc it seemed like each case should be chock full of goodies (also only 1 bowman black (skole) in the 4 cases)
i mean if the print run for base autos was like 5000 then it makes sense - a blowouttv.com thread showed a 30 hobby case break with 6 buxton autos and 3 correas - in 30 CASES!! - but i dont trust blowout too much either - i trust you guys - i'm hoping some of you will be gracious enough to help me through this difficult time in my life
only 3 buyers in this break made money - quinn - bethancourt - pike
