1 Tribute box

[Plano26]

I usually have a go at a Tribute box each year; I was a bit hesitant this year as some of the breaks I saw were brutal; thought I did ok;


Base color:

Harmon Killebrew /75
Ernie Banks /99



Auto Hits:



Relic Hits:



The nasty Jeter is #/25

Let me know if anyone is interested in anything. Thanks

There is more dirt on that game used card than every other game used card combined!

Two of the three autos were redemptions?

How is that a great box?

Because that jeter is amazing.

My thoughts...

1. Sucks you got so many redemptions
2. That Jeter does look crazy sweet!
3. What's stopping anyone from rubbing dirt or anything on a memorabilia card? Lol

Disclaimer: I am not implying #3 was done but it does make you think

I've been surprised that there is not a ton more "fake" dirt patch cards out there. That Jeter does look great congrats! Not only it has dirt, but it's a nice size piece with a nice pinstripe.

It's a great box because it's only a loss of $100 Charlie. Duh.

Because you would get dirt all over the edges of the window that is cut for the jersey piece.

If people can fake patches, they can figure out how to fake dirt.

If cards like that sell for a premium, it'll start happening.

You're delusional, sorry. Not that I would do this or even know exactly how (because it's F'ed up) but I'm sure if I really wanted to fake a memo card with dirt or blood on it, I could figure it out no problem.

Thanks for all the comments; great discussion on the GU card(s). I love the Jeter card and was totally shocked when I pulled it; couldn't believe how dirty it was. Probably will keep this one for my PC as it's the 1st GU card I have seen like this.

On the price point; I got a fairly good deal thru my LCS; picked it up for $279; however, I think this years Tribute is over priced compared to past years.

The price has dropped roughly $60 since it's release. Unfortunately, I picked up a box on the release date. My bad for assuming that this year's product would rival last years.
