Hi Guys,
First--a little backstory. I called my LCS guy and asked for a cash price on a case. We agreed upon it and I went over with the dough late yesterday. When I get there, I notice there is a second open case he's beginning to set up to pack out. I decide to open that already opened case instead of the one he had set aside for me in case I hit "the wall" and didn't feel like continuing to bust. The guy that walked in behind me started popping from the box he originally set aside for me and the best hit he had through 9 boxes was a CHANCE RUFFIN BLUE REF AU. After he left, utterly defeated of course, I finished the box for him. Scroll to the bottom to see what I pulled out of the bottom of his case.
Gotta tell you guys, for every case you are about to see like this one, there are 10 like this other poor soul's that produce no good hits--(BTW, no Aflac in his 9 or my additional 3 either!!!). In summation...All of you gawking at these breaks thinking "wow, you can't miss with this product". Well, you can. Breaks like these are the EXCEPTION, not the rule.
First box I hit this:
It was a good start...Then the slew of good, bad, and just plain ugly:
First the good:
Also an Alex Bregman USA GOLD REF AU #/50 and Marc Brakeman BLUE REF AU #/50
and this refractor--two of them to be exact:
The USA AU's:
And now the bad (not necessarily bad...just "less than stellar"):
And now, the ugly...check out the centering on this bad boy:
Yes, that's right...I received two of these.
Here are some more notables:
Check out the serial numbering on this bad boy:
And in the last pack of the last box:
Thanks for the look and comments...all FS, NFT.
