2010 Bowman Jumbo Box...Should I break it open???

[jumbojohnny]

Even though I have stepped away form collecting, not all people in my life encourgage my decision. A close friend gave me a box of 2010 Bowman Jumbo for an early BDay gift (he is going to Iraq so he wont be here for August). After I told him I dont collect anymore he told me that it was cool of I sold it and bought something I would rather have (he got his case for pre-sale prices and as been opening it very slowly). He is completely ok wiht me selling it, he just didnt know what else to get me.

Should I sell the box or bust it? After all these boxes are getting too pricey for my taste, so should I take advantage of a free one or get myself a nice something else?

Take the $300 and run.

Normally, I'd say sell it... but, no matter what your friend says about selling it, the box is a gift, man. You have nothing invested in it. I'd break it if for no other reason than it being a gift.

Yes, I know $300 is more than you'd likely get by cracking it, but it's really the thought of opening a gift from a friend across the world.

Like your friend said, whatever you do with it is fine. It's yours.

But if you ask me...SELL SELL SELL!

Buy a 12-pack, invite your friend over, and bust it together. He's going to Iraq, for god's sake. Have a great evening just hanging out, passing the bull and busting some wax, and savor the time together with your friend.

I am going with the break. It was a gift.

I think it has the Strasburg Red auto inside so I'd open it.


If I didn't think that, I would sell the hell out of it and go for a swim in 30,000 brand new pennies, a la Scrooge McDuck.

If it's something I learned from when a woman says 'it's ok, sell it and get what you want', what she really means is that if you do, she'll haunt your conscience for the rest of your relationship.

Not saying the same applies here, but if he's going to Iraq, get some beer and bust it together, as someone already said.

Agreed... Pizza, Beer, Watch Sports, Break open the box with your friend. The quality time with your friend before he deploys is far more important than a few bucks in your pocket.

scan or ban.

 

[jumbojohnny]

Scan or ban on a box of wax...?

I will get you your requested picture, but scanning a jumbo box isn't gonna happen on my shaty scanner.

Everybody recommending a beer and pizza night, great ideas...I didn't realize how many softy sentimentals where on the boards.

 

[schmidtfan20]

I meant scan when you bust it.

Good Luck

 

[jumbojohnny]

Thats waht I figured, but I was having a laugh with it...here is the picture though.

I meant scan when you bust it.

Good Luck
