[Rudzud]

Well, been 11 months since my last wax purchase and subsequent live break on this forum. Got some fun stuff today for your enjoyment...

Insectae sketch set box x2
Horrors of War II x1
'11 Donruss Limited Cuts Baseball x1

Well, you know the drill. Or, maybe you don't. It'll take two replies to get this live break started. Bring me luck!

Thank you very much sir, lets do this....

 

[Rudzud]

Box #1 Insectae (so, supposed to be a sketch card and 2 limited edition inserts)

Lady bug poker chip...uhh..well that was unexpected. Actually, not ladybugs dont know what they are.

Insert cards?

Not sure, these look like base set

wasp, blowfly?, monarch butterfly

sketch:

woah, neat

1/1 yellow jacket hover fly

commissioned by K Lee

looks like its painted, the base is an oil base green, and the closeup of the insects head looks like it was done with ink and paint actually is extended up from the base . This is really, really awesome.

Box 2) '11 Donruss Limited Cuts Baseball

Joe Sewell "Most at bats per strikeout" # 7/49

[Rudzud]

So, I'm pretty happy with the bug cards. I like the Horrors of War too (wish it was civil war, or non american but ok, sure, and the relic was awesome). Assuming the Limited cuts was a bust. The Ali box...I'm assuming that was a bust too?

 

[Gwynn545]

Pretty much the best Insectae sketch set box break in a long, long time on FCB!
Not too familiar with Ali boxes, but was wondering why Michael Imperioli was an auto? He's the guy from Sopranos, right?

 

[A_Pharis]

I think he's a "Fan of Ali"

I don't think any of them were really busts, but those Horror of War relics are SWEEET!

 

[Rudzud]

Worth noting that the Ali fight worn piece is on a refractor type card (not a flat type of card stock).

I was nervous with Insectae as you can get some cartoonish sketches but man alive these are incredible. I cant stress how the ant looks like a photo.

 

[Rudzud]

Oh, no kiddin..the Ali GU is a prismatic red variant..

 

[A_Pharis]

NICE!

 

[longbomberz]

I don't know what the Ali box cost, but it looks like you've got atleast $50 and up to $100 in value there.
