Tri City Football Break: Stay the F&#* away from it!

joelmcook · Aug 4, 2011

Okay when I first read the product sell sheet I thought that this product could be decent. I figured some company was trying to compete with Leaf and this competition could make both products better. Lord was I wrong I think this could of been the biggest waste of money. My initial reaction was to punch the closest thing to me in the nose, which happened to be a jewish lawyer (alabamalongsnake). I am pretty sure the best card I got was an Early Doucet Refractor or maybe my case hit, NEIL "F$%^&*N" EVERETT print plate. In the end this product is terrible. I do not post very much but I feel this product is that bad. As a shop owner I cannot even bare to sell this to my customers. Even the packaging looks crappy. Not one good thing about this product, but here are the scans.

Please comment if you think otherwise

OUCH, that looks like garbage.

How much is that rubbish?

seahawks4ever · Aug 4, 2011

WTF is that shat?

I hope the box didn't cost more than $4.99

joelmcook · Aug 4, 2011

As a dealer those boxes cost me 55 which I am pretty sure Tri City just made 51 doll hairs a box

I think it was only fair to post on their forum which they deleted. I mean in this fragile industry you cannot put products on the shelf that are potentially this bad.

seahawks4ever · Aug 4, 2011

so one more question...this was one box right? They put two of the same jersey in it too?

joelmcook · Aug 4, 2011

It is actually two boxes... and the funny thing is that the NAFTA card is not even from a football set

Why not...others do...the only difference between this product and others is you get cards that are all in the same set in other boxes...this one was a just grab bag full of crap. Either way, all products kick you in the junk. How many boxes have you opened where your bigest hit would cover the price of 1 or 2 packs from that box??? More often than not. Same **** different product.

pretty sure a 5 dollar blaster the wife got me in Jersey that came with a random topps team set was better...and I think those are put together by some nickle and dime entrepreneur

Ouch man....truly awful.

Since Jim "Chris" Everett went to Purdue....what do you need for that 1/1 print plate?

Never heard of the stuff.

If they're the same as the Tri Star baseball boxes, I fell for their scam. I got a bunch of damaged 80s cards and a few 90s in good shape. The hits between the three boxes were a Dusty Baker and some Expos guy I can't remember....80s base cards signed with ballpoint pens, not even real product autos, and a George Lombard minor league auto worth less than the paper it was on.

glad you didn't hit your Jewish lawyer in the face. although had that happened I'm sure a Judge would have awarded me a nice collection of Football Chrome Red Refractors and Wayne Gretzky autos.

I nearly pissed myself when I saw how bad the first box was and concur that it ranks up there as a scam of which Bernie Madoff could only be proud. PT Barnum, the great circus promoter, got it right when he said "a sucker is born every minute".

What got me was they inserted a card commemorating one of the worst pieces of legislation in recent history in the NAFTA card. That's almost the biggest F U and "you been had" indicator.

I offered to split a box with you guys and surprisingly you declined. I'm always going to be leery of these grab pack products and cut products going forward.

not sure if it's the same product exactly...but another member pulled a Miles Austin Game Used glove in the Box Break forums.

I'm sure Joel will be happy to sell them to you for a good price if you want to try and pull a Miles Austin Game Used Glove.
