You know what i'm talking about. It's that box that sits on the shelf for a while. The one that everyone thinks about purchasing but never gets around to it.
I had been buying a good number of 2009 sweet spot baseball since it came out. Every time the shop got a new box in, I would crack it. Did pretty decent, hit a jumbo patch of Reggie Jackson, and some decent autos.
But then 2009 Ultimate came out. And it was an incredible product. I mean, $135 for a box of sweet spot versus a pack of ultimate at $90 - I finally stopped getting sweet spot, for the thrill had run out, the price was way too high for the yield, and the next new thing was incredible. Ultimate had everything you wanted in a great higher end baseball product, without the disappoint most of the time like sweet spot.
Well today at the shop, someone finally bought that box. The one I was proud to finally say,"hey, I can control myself. I'm 'done' with that sweet spot product".
Pujols game used Bat Barrell numbered 2/2. (no scans).
Yah, I congratulated the guy. Me and another customer had probably purchased about two cases worth without hitting the big one, and the guy buys one box.
I'm sure it's happened to everyone before.
Let's hear what you've missed out on, even though you kind of had a hunch.
