[thefatguy]

Alex is actually a nice guy with strong opinions. He's no different than 90+% of the people here.


Remember, there's a saying about glass houses and stones. A lot of people forgetting it nowadays.

Don't get stoned in a glass house because everyone can see you?

Is anyone actually buying into this? I am tempted, but I just can justify $159 on something I know absolutely nothing about. I'm also skeptical on the first case that Boomo will be breaking for his top customers, I'm sure that case will be loaded and amp up the hype meter. Boomo - did they tell you what case to open first or is it random?

 

[rum151man]

what if all the slots dont get filled? are you only going to break the cases/ slots that sell?

 

[mredsox89]

Anyone else watching Boomo break it? 1st box, didn't seem like any of the 4 hits were worth the $160 per slot cost

Edit: Check that. 1st hit in box 2 was a Clemente psa 8 1967, looks like it's worth more than well more than the buy in price

agreed....I would say $250 worth of product in box 1

Box 1, pretty poor

Nolan ryan 16 X 20 auto

Trout topps update psa 10

Longoria base spx rc bgs 10

Ted Williams Fleer (can't remember year) psa 8

I would punch myself if I got a $2 longoria that graded a bgs 10

Box 2 looks better

But I hate cards like allen ginter posey RC bgs 10. Low end card, high grade, doesn't make it a high end card.

 

[mredsox89]

The BGS 10 "rookie cards" and the rest of the bottom end hits are pitiful for a $150 per slot break

 

[hohlernr]

After the first case I am definitely regretting buying in.

 

[ballerskrip]

I hate to say it, but not a single card that I can think of that I would pay $169 for in the 1st case. Maybe the clemente.

And 2 heroic tickets cards?

I DO like the memoribilia redemptions ready to ship, very cool.

I hope the other cases are better, I am guessing/hoping this was just a bad first case.

 

[hohlernr]

People are all excited about a Nolan Ryan auto 16x20.....please that goes for about $110. This product would be better at $100 per slot.

Thanks for the update. I can't watch it on my work computer.

 

[George_Calfas]

Sounds like similar ROI when compared to Topps, Leaf, etc

 

[mredsox89]

A non graded Nolan Ryan Topps RC, and a 2009 BC Griffey Veteran Xfractor BGS 10. Boomo doesn't seem to have the greatest grasp on value of some of the stuff he's pulling in this break

A problem is that even what seem like the nicest hits in each box barely, if they even do, cover the $160 per "pack/slot" cost. The Ted Williams signed 16x20 doesn't look like it's worth much more than $200.

Then there are cards like the Pujols 5 Star jumbo jersey

 

[wheeler281]

those bat cards bring it down. The Ryan even if it can at least get graded 4 would be profitable

 

[jbhofmann]

Seems to be someone who has pieced out their collection and put it into really nice packaging. Genius.
