2008 National Treasures Box Break

[itsjustcardboard]

Being a value oriented box ripper, I asked my local dealer to see if had anything that he was trying to clear out. He told me had been holding his last box of 08 National Treasures and that he would give it to me at a good price, which was $360. It’s a solid price as boxes go as far as $430 to $440 on ebay and could cost as much as $480 at the lcs. National Treasures is usually a very hot product as it is the first super high end product of the year. It then has a cool down when Upper Deck Exquisite is released later on in the year. I was looking for some Matt Ryan or Joe Flacco (did not get it) but had a solid break. Here is how I did:

Base:

Brian Westbrook 88/99
Roddy White 91/99

Hits:

Champions Gold Prime Patch - Eric Dickerson 10/23
Championship Dual Jersey - Bobby Layne/Jim Brown 31/50
Rookie Signature - Xavier Abidi 85/99
Rookie Signature Patch - Mario Manningham 34/99
Signature Patches - Larry Little 23/26
Notable Nicknames Cut Autograph - Chuck Bednarik 3/25

It is nice to have cut autograph, but I think I got the worst cut autograph in the set. The others are Johnny Unitas and some of the biggest players in the history of the game. I think it was solid, but I doubt I came close to my $360 price tag.

I would say it was a nice break. Congrats.
