To Rip Or Not?

[KLARNOLD]

I just received a sealed box of 2004 Upper Deck MLB Breakey Battle Packs. 40 packs per box and each pack has 5 Keys. Should I start ripping packs or keep box sealed?

Wow I've never even seen that before, cool! Does the game still work if opened?

Ok, now I'm really curious. Bad thing is the one I've got is the only one I've ever even seen...

Thanks, @magicpapa

Well, I see on the box a "Warning: Choking Hazard" so that means you're guaranteed to get one A-Rod per box, plus they don't seem to be too desired so you might as well have some fun and break.

I would keep it sealed.

I had never heard of those when i stumbled upon someone selling them years back. Either they were only a limited test issue or did very poorly in general on the market. i ended up buying a purple Eric Gagne just to have one for a "type" item. Remains the only one I own to this day.

I would open it myself unless you stand to make a bundle flipping it sealed, but about the only things I keep sealed are factory sets and anything pack wise with Garvey on top.

I opened it tonight. 2nd pack I got the Ultra Rare Albert Pujols. Pulled 2 Secret Rare Ichiro. Left side is Common. Center is Uncommon. Right side is Super Rare & Ultra Rare. Also, the checklist shows a T.Hoffman Uncommon when it is actually M.Ramirez.

Here is a checklist

I would possibly be interested in a checklist and maybe some other Dodgers if you are moving any of them. It looks like players are issued in different colors, correct?

What do you need for each unique key (don't need 4 of the same Green for sure)? I really am completely clueless about the values. I know my Gagne isn't one you have because I remember it was purple.

 

[KLARNOLD]

I got a second sealed Breakey box in and just opened the 40 packs. Out of two boxes opened, I determined all yellow, red, green & blue are Commons (except for a blue Frank Thomas in box today). All white, black, orange & purple are Uncommons. The Super & Ultra Rare players can have different see through colors. I might start selling in player lots.

Was I correct that an A-Rod would be in each box?

When the lot arrived, I saw one of the keys had a purple sticker on it and started to doubt myself as to what I had already, but it turns out I did have a purple key of Gagne, so all of these I bought from you are new to me. Thanks again.

Any different Dodgers in the 2nd box by chance?

Yes, multiple choking hazards in every box

I Got 2 Gagne Supers and one had a pink see through color and the other looked like the one I sent you.

Well, moving so had to go through boxes. Found my stash of rare 2004 Upper Deck BreaKeys. These were a test issue for a collectible game that was a huge flop. The keys fit together at the barrels and you twisted them in a "battle." One would break a tab off, and the one that didn't break was...

Yes, and I made the last post in thread regarding lawsuit, which I had forgotten about. I have given my findings from opening 2 boxes with 5 breakeys per pack. The pack odds show 3:1 for Common, 2:1 for Uncommon, 1:4 for Super Rare, 1:8 for Ultra Rare. Odds were fairly consistent with about 10 Super Rares & 5 Ultra Rares per box.
