2005 Absolute Memorabilia Update Pack break

[rsmath]

I opened the third of my 4 packs of 2005 Absolute Memorabilia update on Christmas day.

I got:

Absolute Heroes Paul loDuca chest protector/bat 63/150
Willie Stargell Tools of the Trade insert 61/150
Mark Mulder and Russ Ortiz base cards.

IIRC, I got a Michael Young auto/gu swatch in one pack, a White Sox 6 player swatch in the second pack, and then this pack this year. I hope the 4th and final pack contains a jumbo swatch or auto - we'll find out this upcoming Christmas.

Ummmm, you're not going to open the next pack until next Christmas. Wow...the will power.

Why not bust it right now? The last pack will either have a jumbo or prime GUed.

Ummmm, you're not going to open the next pack until next Christmas. Wow...the will power.

yes, it's pretty easy. This is the most expensive box (by far) that I've ever purchased so I'm going easy on it. I'm one of those that opens my 80's/90's junk wax or buy boxes under $50 and opens it a pack a night to make the box last longer. I don't get how people rip a whole box in a night for instant gratification and then have to blow more money on another box just to have more packs to rip in a flurry. I bet those rabid rippers (TM-2009-rsmath) don't enjoy the cards they opened.

The way I buy boxes and collect certain sets myself (UD base is my set build of the year unless Topps Total comes back), only about 10-12 boxes can easily last me a year.

More power to you. I'm impressed.

i only bust 3 boxes a year and it works well for me with single packs i open the equivalent to 4.5 boxes a year

Not the words I would use to describe it.
