If someone could explain to me

[Hollywood]

how I just opened a case and a box of jumbos plus 2 hobby boxes (contained my best card a Heathcott blue) and didn't pull a Strasburg, Castro, Ackley, Tate or Perez Auto, a single Bryce Harper, a single orange, or any auto better than a blue? Done with the hobby so if you want some nice Matt Kemp's now is the time because I own a lot of them. Yeah, I'm now over 60 straight Bowman/Chrome/Draft boxes without an auto better than a blue. Last time I opened this much at a time was 07 when I opened 5, yup 5, 6 box cases of 07 Bowman Chrome without a single Lincecum/Joba or auto better than an X(Hochevar X and Kila Kaaihue Red only decent cards from all of it as well as F-Mart base that graded 9.5 and sold well). Thank god for that Kaaihue Red I sold to some idiot for $300. Kurt Mertins Gold best other parallel I shall remember that forever! Still lost almost 2 grand on that which ended my bigger breaks for a while. Love reading stories of a one box break with a Lincecum Ref auto on here.
Yeah, the 8 packs off the shelf I bought had probably 2 better cards than the $1000+ worth I just ripped. Tate base auto, Harper chrome base, Kevin Gausman USA Gold Ref, Stras Chrome from the shelf jumbos.
Highlights are slim:
2 hobby boxes netted me the Heathcott Blue ref and a Brett Jackson Base auto, no good parallels.
Case highlights were Heyward base auto, Sizemore ref auto, Amarista Blue Ref auto, Heathcott Ref Auto, AJax base auto, Daniel McCutchen Blue auto another Brett Jackson base auto. No jumbo box had more than 3 auto's and 2/3 + of them are base.
Gold Ref of Scott Shaw and Teheran (non auto naturally).
Highlight of it all was a Clayton Kershaw Magenta Printing Plate. Yeah, well over 50,000 on wax in last decade, this is only 2nd 1 of 1 i've pulled. First was an 05 Finest White Framed Refractor Manny that I wish I had back. First plate ever woot! How pathetic is that. Oh, I guess I found out the other prospect guy opened a box and pulled a Castro Blue Auto, from the 3ish boxes bought from the shop besides me, awesome. Dumb@ss gets to pull a nice card but not a smart person.
Damn the Longoria in 06 that got me buying wax again.

If anyone interested other Blues were Karsten Whitson 32/250, Phillip Pfeifer 25/250, Nick Pepitone 238/250, Chad Bettis 008/250 for USA's. Klyle Jensen, Sheng-an Kuo, Ryan Dent, Hak-Ju Lee, Matt Brown (didn't I pull numerous parallels of this guy 5 years ago and he was old then). Arenado, Decker, and Watkins only good base Ref. 4 Stras Chrome. USA Ref of Colon, Keyes, Ryan, Wilkins, Bettis, and Sonny f'n Gray X2 (he's usa bc9- Harper is 8).

Well, that Longoria Super from 06 is quite possibly still in a box somewhere, so keep rippin.

Sorry about your breaks. Including the 6 boxes I opened today, I seen another 3 or 4 that also had no golds. No big hits either. I think the Heyward ref I got was by far the best hit out of all those.

Ups and Downs. It seems a looooong time since I pulled something awesome, and I drop at least a grand a month on wax. Good boxes are in our future.

Well that was the best sorting ever. Threw a CC Sabathia Red 1/1 in the orange pile! Thought one of em looked a little pink when I was opening. Just a reminder to look again if you are late night wax ripping. So 1/1's of Kershaw and Sabathia, probably why everything else was lacking so much. Still don't understand the USA, I got at least one base of everyone besides Harper. 15 USA parallels no Harper there either.

Sounds like my case. It was TERRIBLE.

16 prospect autos, only one was blue, 3 refs, the rest base. A Gold Green auto, heyward blue auto (only good card).

BUt wait, it gets worse.

1 gold ref
4 blue refs
1 USA Refractor - NO OTHER USA PARALELLS

IT was bad, REAL BAD

If you pulled any martin perez autos you want to sell, let me know

skrip

My case of Jumbo did not have a Harper either

Did you pull any D.J. Lemahieu's

 

[hail2thevictors]

I can relate man, I can relate. I opened 7 cases(2 jumbo, 5 hobby), and didn't pull a single red ref, super, etc. I pulled one gold auto, 1 orange auto. It was completely brutal. Luckily I pulled a Strasburg auto, but I busted 7 cases, so I shoulda got one. I got 7 futures game relics, which I think is a big reason I got shafted elsewhere.

 

[The_ReverendAct2]

harper is sp'd if i remember correctly. that cc should get some of that case back. i am up to about 6 boxes of the stuff [jumbos] and the harpers are slim pickings.

If you expect to hit a great card every time you open wax even if it's a case then you're in the wrong hobby.
