About 47 seconds.

If you pull the Longo Super from your box, shoot me a line. :D

Years ago, I use to keep one pack from every box I busted and store them in 5000ct boxs. I started this in about 84' and by 92' I had 3 full 5000ct boxs full of loose random packs. Everything from 1978 to 1992. This included baseball, football, basketball, and hockey. When I decided to bust them in 92' it was awesome! Did not really pull much of anything save for a few good ones(back then), but it was a blast!

Infact, the only pack I can really remember opening from the lot was a 1983 topps pack, it only had 3 cards in it and 2 of them were Cal Ripkens! They were selling for $20+ at the time.

I have a 6 box case of 1998 Bowman Chrome Series 2 sitting here. I have had it for like 2 years, but can't bring myself to open it. I kind of want to see if I can get a Golden Anniversary Refractor /5, but I kind of want to sell the case too. What to do...

As great as that is, the Redemption factor kills me. God forbid there's a Montero Red Refractor in there or something like that and he ends up becoming a great Yankee. Finding that 10+ years too late would be brutal.

I thought of that but I also though how cool it would be if I could go back and open boxes from when I was a kid and decided to buy anyway. My first son was born in '05 which is why I started then and I figure I'll keep going until they hit their teens at least and see if they're into cards at all.

You probably have the Longo super in your case of 06 BDP. :)

The time it takes to drive from the post office to my house. Or the time between when I receive the package and when I get home from work. lol.

The longest I've held onto wax is from the time the UPS driver drops it off is....

Long enough for me to go to the bathroom, turn on the iPod and sit down and RIP!!! I can't leave it sealed. I'm an addict :D What more can I say :shock:
