GREAT day of box breaks! 2014 Topps Hobby & 2014 Tribute case...

[heartyourlife]

All those hits and still lost about $250 (assuming the few remaining bidders pay up). Tough pill to swallow! Of the three cases available I got the best one. Someone hit a Manny Ramirez bat plate in one of the others. Kind of nuts two bat plates out of the 25-30 in the set were in the same shipment...

Sorry about your luck. Tough to believe how anyone makes their money back off a case if you lost $250 on that one.

I'm just curious, before you ripped that case open, was there ANYTHING you would of kept if you hit it? Like anything or was it purely a rip to flip situation.

If I had hit a big Cardinals hit I would have kept. Or a sweet old timer HOF bat barrel/knob/etc. I'm not out to make a profit ripping cases. Just enjoy the fun of opening cards! If I make some great, if I lose some it happens. Typically over the course of a year I end up about even. So it's all good.
