12 box Wal Mart Topps Value Box Break

[hockeyfights]

Was getting ticked off that I wasn't hitting much of anything in breaking 20+ boxes so far. Went to Wal Mart today and cleaned out their entire inventory of 12 boxes. I've been throwing money at Chris Gilmore like I was at an Alabama strip club, buying boxes of Heritage just to hit a damn Heritage auto with no luck. Finally hit an auto in this break and I can quit bitching about it :lol: I think I did pretty well. Pulled 34 code cards. I think I could make back a good bit of the $180 price tag on this break. PM me if you're interested in anything. I've got a total of 48 (14 from last break) unused diamond code cards FS.

Proportionately to price spent on hobby boxes, these things are ******* DELIVERING!

Good lord, I had no idea the Uribe went for that. I might break even, if not make money off the 12 boxes now. The lady restocking the card shelves asked me why those were flying off the shelves and I explained to her what the just the 2 code cards showing go for. She has 5 Walmarts within 25 miles of my house and told me when she was restocking the value boxes for the upcoming week at each store

By the way, what is the world series relic? Surely it's not a redemption for a jersey card.

That's exactly what it is. Team collectors and Topps master set builders are all over them. I haven't updated this tracker since a couple weeks after release, but you can see that some of the prices were (and still are) ridiculous.

Holy cow man you spend about 200 with tax. And one card from there would net you about 40% of what you spent.
Nice hits from those.

$192 with tax here, but I had some money left on a gift card, so it was about $180 for the 12 boxes

I'm not understanding the redemption for a jersey card. Did Uribe take the jersey home with him to the DR and hasn't brought it back yet? lol Anyhow, I'll be trying to move it this weekend with some other cards from these breaks in the transaction boards. If I can't move it, it'll go on ebay.

At least Topps is being honest in wanting Uribe's jersey to be in the card. Any piece of cloth would have been sufficient and no one would have been the wiser.

I'm not ripping Topps, I've just never heard of, or seen a jersey redemption. Guess it was tougher to come by only having a limited number of GU jerseys available from the WS.
