Barbershop break

[ktothep]

So I was getting a haircut at the barber I've been seeing since my youth and I noticed he out out a box of 94 UD series 1. I asked how much for the whole box, he said $20 and I was sold. I pulled three of these, which would've been great back then:

Oh, and also in the box was this 20 year old hit:

Not bad for $20.

Wow that's unreal, congrats!

Great stuff man!

You need to send this story to Beckett, with pics and an Interview with the barber...

 

[ASTROBURN]

Why does your barber have 20 year old boxes in his shop? Not that im complaining, just wondering.

Any silver back variations?

That is so cool! All those years just sitting there..

 

[Pine Tar]

Cool story Bro.......tell it again:lol:

 

[ktothep]

Thanks for the kind words everybody. He used to sell packs there back in the day, but he was also a collector. He said he just brought some boxes into the shop that he's had in his house.

What's your problem pine tar?

 

[PoseyBuster]

He doesn't have a problem, its just him being silly.

Great hit, I imagine he was pissed that he didnt just rip it.

I cant have unopened product just sitting.

 

[ktothep]

Oh ok, I see. Yea, I couldn't have unopened product sitting around either. He always asks me to look at his stuff and tell him what it's worth, but he never calls me to check it out.

Barbershops are a front. They sell drugs out of barbershops.

Unreal.... Congrats !!! Just makes you wonder what's still sealed in all those massed produced sets from the 90's

 

[ktothep]

The guy is about 70 years old. I doubt he's still in the game, lol.

 

[Austin]

I wouldn't tell your barber you pulled that Griffey autograph.
He might "acccidently" shave off your hair the next time you're there.

 

[mchenrycards]

I see some Electric Diamonds there. I have been picking these up on and off for several years when I can find a nice deal on them. Any thoughts on putting them together as a lot?

 

[EDGARMARTINEZcollector]

Unbelievable pull! Congrats!

 

[A_Pharis]

Pretty cool! I wonder what marker they used for the sigs since it looks kind of weak. Maybe it's the pic, though. I'd love it for $20 any day.

Every one I have ever seen, Griffey and Mantle look the same.

For a 20 year old [gac!] product, the autograph still looks pretty good - looks like UD may have used a fine point Lumocolor/Staedtler type pen.

That is awesome wish pro cuts had some wax boxes on the counter.

Hope he brings out some more boxes a $20 box break is cheap entertainment!
