2008 Topps Turn Back The Clock Box Break - deuce6000 - 03-20-2011 05:37 AM
Well my lcs had a box with 36 packs & 5 Cards per pack for 14.99 and I thought I was getting a good deal so I picked it up. Little did I know all 36 packs were going to have the exact same 5 cards in them. Kind of sucks I gave some to my son but I still have 31 each of numbers 1-5. Wish I would of known before buying them. Players are M. Ryan, R. Mendenhall, E. Manning, T. Romo & E. Dickerson.
Also picked up two packs of 2010 Prestige and got a Andre Roberts auto so that kind of made me feel a little better.

Yeah It's my fault I guess I should of done some research I wouldn't even of minded if there was actually a chance of getting the complete 40 card set but what kind of boxes have 5 of the same cards in every pack I've never seen that before.

Man, I would have been pissed! You live and learn bro, believe me. I have done some similar things and learned from it. :)It wont happen again.

Those packs were to be sold at the price of .10 to anyone that purchased anything topps at the lcs in 08. I have the complete 07 set and I think I might have the 08 set as well.

I'd be looking for a new lcs if I were you.

Unfortunately for me there are no new ones lol
like he said though I'll learn from it. My bad.Heck while i'm at it I might as well tell you another stupid thing I did when i got back into collecting again after a 15 year layoff. They had these upper deck rack packs full of rookies so I looked them up on here and the value was tremendous considering they were only like 3 bucks a pack (wal-mart) so I kept going back and buying more and more. Little did I know they were "Exclusive edition rookies" Which basically means reprints that are worth 25% of the real thing (People still sell them for full price on ebay though) well anyway I got a box full of these useless things now. At least the 4 Adrian petersons are worth 6 bucks but for a long time I thought they were $30.00 a piece lol.

The box you bought were starter packs for the set. Each week the LCS would give out a new card to complete the set. I can't believe the owner didn't tell you what they were! What a jack wagon!
