Not much to do here today since everything I wanted to do/see was washed out by the rain so decided to head on over to a local show at Hofstra (the smaller one).

I was hoping to dive into some bargain bins but was disappointed that my guy "Chuck" did not show up for the event. Every other dealer was vintage or overpriced stuff...so I decided to buy two boxes of 08 BDP and 5 packs of 08 BC (they were in a bargain pack container that were marked as $1.00 each, so why not).

I checked out the old guy that had wax first but he was unusually over-priced (maybe someone told him his box prices were "cheap". So, I went to old-reliable Seymour for his 08 BDP boxes. Bought two and was VERY satisfied with the breaks!

Box 1 (futures box...EH!):

I guess the Posey made up for it!

Box 2 (blue box!):

The Freddie Aflac was quite a surprise since it came in the first pack I opened from the box!

Oh, I almost forgot about the 5 BC packs that were in my pocket...well, I was shocked to pull an auto!

So far I've bought 6 08 BDP boxes...all from Seymour...and have pulled 3 AFLAC autos (Nieto, Vitters and Freeman). Gotta love that!

Thanks! BTW, the show had more dealers than attendees (at least when I was there...pretty dead IMO).

Gotta love Seymour, even if he is a Spankees fan. :lol: Tell him john from Shriner's say hey and laugh at him for me next time you see him.

Nice pulls by the way.

That ticks me off. I was looking for a show to go to today too. It was not even listed in beckett. Oh well. I guess it was a good thing that I didnt go, based on your observations.

Man, you have been getting really good at these box breaks from these NY card shows.

Trust me, the stretches when I got Steven Wright and Kyler Burke autos really makes these breaks feel a hell of a lot better!
