[2014BESTSERVICE]

So I finally got around to scanning the Woodruff Orange Auto- see below

 

[nosterbor]

Nice pull on the orange. So why do they call this a MEGA BOX

 

[2014BESTSERVICE]

I'm from the Baby boomer gen ask one of these Millenials I got no idea

 

[2014BESTSERVICE]

Folks sorry on the woodruff guess I had the scanner at 96dpi instead of my usual 150dpi . Ah well

Have another box that came in unexpectedly - same guy as this Topps Chrome box came from
He's cleaning his place up said "keep everything broke enough of this crap already"
I have more football and baseball boxes to break also hard to keep up when new stuff comes in from people who know I take great care opening products up.

So we have a 2012 Leaf Rookies & Stars retail box
I'll have to look who is here only players I'd want are Luck, Manning, Brady and Kuechly
Pretty sure Wilsons not in here ,but if he is will go to my peep Kevin ( @Pinbreaker)
Believe this is what we call in the industry a "gravity feed" box you'd see at Walmart or some other chain store
I took a bunch of packs out as it was too heavy to take the pics without doing so ( 36 packs in this thing)
Also took out internal inserts that kept the packs down bottom and opened it so people could see
I'll open it later today

 

[2014BESTSERVICE]

OK folks 36 packs w/5 cards a pack- I'll break 12 packs at a time as i got other projects to work on
Pack pics as always before I start busting

Jeff anything you don't want, feel free to add to the next Team Collectors shipment. Some of the guys collect football. Anything they don't, I will add to Barry Pace's next Medium Flat Rate I send him. Thanks as always for thinking of our group!

Wayne

Will do Wayne. I broke the other two retail boxes of 2006 LRS and will post the hits folks when I scan them in the next few days. One box had 5 inserts the other had six. Couple decent ones. I will include all the football Wayne in the newest box of baseball and you can disseminate.

I also have a bunch more baseball that came in, but the next few weeks I'm really busy , and might only be able to break one maybe two of these boxes. I will post the pics soon as I can scan. One of the boxes I can show off today, because it's already scanned , but the other one I haven't had time to do so. This next box has a lot of card variations, and I'm going to be really careful and slow, as some of these variations are harder to find, and graded examples are not sent in regularly, so I want them in peak shape.

 

[2014BESTSERVICE]

OK folks the box break this coming week is going to be one of my 2002 Leaf Rookies and Stars boxes
Box pics attached. Not going to break them until Sunday night ( took Monday off for a Doc appointment)
I'll add info about the series and some personal comments then

As you can see its been abused in travel-- USPS really hasn't treated boxes well lately

 

[2014BESTSERVICE]

Scans of Box 2 of the 2006 LRS hobby box. Lots of nothing and more damaged cards.
No major stars and besides the Crumpler & McIntosh nothing I am keeping.
I'll be scanning the Box 3 hits before I open that 2002 box later on

 

[2014BESTSERVICE]

Box 3 of the base 06LRS now scanned. I initially got excited seeing the Hines Ward -until I saw the huge dimpled edge
Now its just a give away card . At least this box I knew 90% of the players that had inserts

I'll get to that box above folks this week first I gotta break some new arrivals. Finally have extended time off after 2 years of constant work

OK so a cardboard buddy who I've assisted in his pursuits decided to surprise me with some boxes to break
Was told I could keep everything and sub what I wanted- he wanted to thank me for helping guide his hobby investment "spending" the last few years. Think that was translation for " made big bucks listening and wanted to share the wealth"- maybe ?!?

Anyways, I don't do hoop or football, and maybe he wants to drag me into that world. I'll listen is all I can promise
Unopened guys- hide your eyes. Never seen a box that wasn't screaming to be broke post-1980
He sent a whole mix of stuff. Will be very interesting at least and frankly a welcome relief to all the scanning & selling I've had to do for healthcare expenses

Up first is going to be some 2013 football boxes he mailed. These I am aware of having busted some for another hobby friend back then. Press Pass is always nice as the autos are on card, have colors, and some guys only signed a few items or had short pro careers
Also- a lot of college football players signed whose pro careers were- ahem- "short"

First up will be 2013 PRESS PASS GAME DAY GALLERY
Box pics below . When it comes in a pack I'll show off a pack

I have quite a few boxes to go thru so I may do one every couple of days for a few weeks
I took this whole week off to get ready for holiday season = which I needed time off to keep my sanity
Short staffing at work will do that to a person

 

[2014BESTSERVICE]

RESULTS ARE BELOW

STEPFAN TAYLOR RED / BLUE INK # 23/50 ( Stanford RB)
TAVARES KING SILVER / BLUE INK #132/149 (Georgie WR)
DION JORDAN RED / RED INK # 08/50 (Oregon Ducks DE)
KEENAN ALLEN GOLD / BLUE INK # 83/99 ( California and Chargers WR)

Will scan when I can

 

[2014BESTSERVICE]

Pics from the break figure I'll get the scanning out of the way
Too much to do this week while I am off
