Old School Break - One Box 1997 Pinnacle Totally Certified

I remember busting several packs of these when I first graduated from college. I could never afford a whole box in one sitting as they were expensive, especially for only 3 cards. I do remember the platinum blue stars from this product sold like hot cakes back when Ebay was just beginning and Beckett was the place to buy, trade and sell (for free). I never pulled a gold but they were about 1 every 5 boxes and I think the shop I frequented then got two or three boxes total.
Picked this beauty up for less then $60 delivered. I think boxes were originally $120 to $150, maybe even more.

Here is the breakdown. Interestingly enough the first pack had 2 cards. It opened really easy. I'm hoping it wasn't searched and I lost out on a gold.
The wrapping looked authentic and the box had the serial number of the box and case. So I'll chalk it up to bad luck. Either way it was fun break and still pulled some monster cards (for its time):
