BUSTING BOXES- week of 04/15/2025- 1994 Collectors Choice JUMBO packs Baseball

[2014BESTSERVICE]

Great to see you back at it Jeff. I hope all is well with you!

Been better but still kicking even at my age. Will probably have enough for two boxes when I'm done here for the team guys

and @Therion - Billy = any Kile numbered you'll get dibs

 

[2014BESTSERVICE]

OK so next up on the box break list will be a box of 1999 UPPER DECK HOLOGRFX
Not much expected. These were sorta like visual overload without much substenance to me back when
I'd rather buy Finest boxes then these ( which I did- which is why this box survived in storage)

Be cracking this tomorrow when I am off for the week figured I'd scan boxes tonite
Still has the magnetic " theft" tag on it

Awesome. Let me know when you are ready and I will send you some $ to assist with the shipping cost.

[2014BESTSERVICE]

Next up on the boxes my brother sent to me I will be breaking up some 1999 UD CHOICE PREVIEW PACKS

This one I'll pay close attention to as I know player collectors ike unopened pack stuff so I may hold off opening the pack if a star appears and sell them direct to player guys instead of busting open. Will open those that dont show any top / bottom stars

Box pics as always and will do the pack example pictures tommorow
Looks like it got pressed / smushed when my brother mailed it. I will know if anything is damaged once I crack it open

 

[Therion]

$6?!?! I'm in. Now to find the nearest Kaybee Toys.

 

[2014BESTSERVICE]

Some pack pics are below
Sorry it took so long to get to this box too much work and too little free time

 

[2014BESTSERVICE]

Looks like I'll only be breaking 10 packs from this box
Rest of the 14 packs have stars showing front or back or both

A few pack examples to show what I mean
Think it best I leave them sealed for player collectors who enjoy buying unopened packs with their players showing

Nice box - those Rose Golds are always fun pulls. I will scan these when I can
Prep for some more football boxes = then gonna crack some 1990's Upper Deck my bro sent from storage

 

[2014BESTSERVICE]

OK folks gonna delve into some box breaks after 7 months away from the hobby dealing with wifes medical issues ( and my own) .
Name changed to my ebay profile name as I coordinate all things hobby
Need to honestly cut expenses and rid myself of another storage bill = down to 3 intend to make it 2 is the goal for 2025. Team collectors gonna get the balance I dont keep as always

@tramers if your around send me your address to my [email protected] email so I can send some unopened 90's packs that way. Cheap stuff thats sticky I'm not gonna waste time opening= let kids enjoy doing it

Gonna crack open one of my 2002 LEAF ROOKIES AND STARS boxes. Full of uniform variations of various stars
Has some cool inserts, rookies, autos and game used possibilities

Set info can be found here 2002 LEAF ROOKIES AND STARS BASEBALL

One of the things I remember when they came out is many people didnt know or hear about the 'traded" card variations gimmick back then
If your a Henderson guy - he's got like 8 different team cards in this set. Opened 5 boxes back then and realized he had different uniforms on many. Years ago I subbed a bunch to BGS that gemmed and sold them to a Rickey collector - not sure if he's a board member here or not. Probably gonna do some to PSA this time around if I pull any Rickeys

As always gonna show the box picks before opening
Think I may have posted the outside pics last year then stopped due to her health problems
Still that same box I just never opened it

DLP inserted "dummy" white inserts to prevent pack searchers figuring things out

 

[2014BESTSERVICE]

It's got all sorts of cool inserts, and while I've cracked about a dozen boxes over the years I've never pulled a BLC Homer, Triple Thread or Viewmasters - YET
Would love to pull one of those three types in the box but not counting on it. Honestly they are so rare to pull out of these
I have pulled a few autos but nobody major
My guy Clemens has a whole bunch in here so maybe just a Longevity would be cool to pull - still need a few of those
I'll post some slabs from this series in my Recent slabs post on the main boards
