What's Everyone Breaking on Christmas?

AK11 · Dec 22, 2010

Just thought everyone would like to share what will be under the Christmas tree in terms of boxes or maybe a special single. We only have 3 days left and most presents should have been bought by now. I have been busting boxes on Christmas for almost a decade now, but never seem to have any luck with pulls. I have busted cases and also tried a mix of boxes, but never a pull to talk about. When I was younger I would get packs from Target or Wal-Mart as stocking stuffers, and then upgraded to a few select boxes when I got to high school age. I have 18 boxes ready to open this Saturday with a case of 2010 Chrome and 6 boxes of out of a fresh case of 2010 Draft that was opened just for me by my LCS. In terms of total boxes, this will be my biggest X-mas break ever. I just hope Santa put a nice card somewhere in one of these boxes

Let's hear your future break and maybe a good Christmas break story. Thanks and Happy Holidays to everyone,

Andrew

My father put together a Lego crane that had 1300 parts for my nephew. I liked putting stuff like that together to a degree but thats just crazy.

Someone in the family bought me a pack of cards (IDK what brand, but we put our presents under the tree before taking them to the grandparents, and it is pack sized).

I will be opening a box of trackside with my uncle, considering it gets here by tomorrow.

Just a box of 2010 BDPP for me, very excited though, it came in the mail on Monday and it just sat there taunting me until my girlfriend wrapped it up.

Nothing, there are other things to do on Xmas besides cards

My bought me some singles that he said that i'd like and im pretty sure my mom got me some boxes! My brother will be getting 2 etopps phillies cards and a #'d j-roll card. i already broke the boxes I got with the money from my grandparents.

It's odd, nobody ever buys me cards for christmas... When people ask me what I want, I say 2 things... Cards and money. The people that ask me always end up buying me shirts or some sort of dumb gag gift.

I got a few cards last year, I got 2-3 packs and a 100 card thing, and a year before that, I got a blaster of Heritage (yeilded a Span Chrome though).

No cards from the family (I purposely do that because the hobby is so confusing to outsiders that if I ask for a certain product, I'm likely to get a few packs from the retail stores that have already been molested by pack-searchers). Easy to get just money so I can get what I want when I want (wait on the secondary market to lower pricing).

I will be busting one 2008 Documentary box (doing a box a month now instead of a pack a day - the 15 boxes would take forever at a pack a day

and I"m starting a box of Ballpark Collection since I do a pack from a $100+ box annually on christmas. I opened the last pack from a box of 2005 Absolute Memorabilia Update last christmas so that box lasted me four christmas'.

Hopefully something game used from the Rockies stores.

Had a box of Ginter and BC but couldn't help myself and already opened them, nothing exciting. I'll take a Lakers win.

I feel like I always have good luck on Christmas wax. Then again, I rarely open wax any other time, so I guess I really don't have much for comparison. The first case I ever did was also my favorite Christmas present of all-time. I was completely ecstatic to have a full case; and I did well on it too.

I broke a couple boxes of BDP and one of Chrome today. Probably another box or two on Christmas.

No boxes but I do have some SS packages
I will post scans after I break on Saturday
