Black Friday Buying Spree - Baseball breaks - djohn - 12-01-2012 See my previous post regarding details about all the boxes I bought during Black Friday shopping. I started with opening some football boxes and moved to basketball. I figured I would do some baseball boxes tonight. Box 1: 2006 Upper Deck Future Stars Purple (#'d/1799): Mark Teixeira, Todd Helton, Jake Peavy, Jeff Kent, Scott Kazmir Green (#'d/499): Lance Berkman Red (#'d/299): Derrek Lee, Randy Johnson Black (#'d/50): Chase Utley World Future Stars Purple (#'d/1799): Pedro Luis Lazo, Yadel Marti World Future Stars Blue (#'d/99)icky Gonzalez Autographs: Jason Bergmann, Alay Soler, Matt Capps, Josh Rupe, Martin Prado (Expired Redemption) I really like this product and have opened many boxes. However this might be my last one, as I seem to have gotten the same group of autographs in almost every box, plus the expired redemption cards are a big turn off. Box 2: 2008 TriStar Projections High Series Green Parallel: Neil Walker (14/50) Yellow Parallel: James Simmons (07/25) Reflectives Green: Zolio Almonte (50/50) Reflectives Yellow: Alcides Escobar (22/25) Autographs: Blake Beavan Autographs Green: Matt Mangini (41/50) Autographs Reflectives Green: Justin Masterson (05/50), Prilys Cuello (25/50) Printing Plate: Joshua Donaldson (Yellow) (1 of 1) This is a box that I love to bust whenever they go on sale. I will definitely be buying more in the future. Box 3: 2008 TriStar Prospects Plus Green Parallel: Brett Marshall (44/50), College Teammates: Pedro Alvarez/Ryan Flaherty (49/50) Green Parallel Die Cut: Boston Future Stars: Jonathan Hee/Bryan Peterson/Tyler Yockey (17/50) Gold Parallel Die Cut: Eric Hosmer (07/25) PROtential Game Used Jersey: Justin Smoak (020/199) Farm Hands Autographs: Niko Vasquez, Xavier Avery, Brett Hunter Fram Hands Autographs Green: Buster Posey (16/50) Printing Plate Farm Hands Autograph: Mike Montgomery (Yellow) (1 of 1) WOW! That was a fun box. I was excited when I hit the Eric Hosmer parallel, but the Posey Autograph was incredible, plus another printing plate and this one was autographed. I think I am going to stick with breaking baseball for the rest of the night.

RE: Black Friday Buying Spree - Baseball breaks - akuz19 - 12-03-2012 If any of your Tristars are for trade, I'd be interested....mostly in the Posey RE: Black Friday Buying Spree - Baseball breaks - djohn - 12-03-2012 (12-03-2012, 08:36 AM)akuz19 Wrote: If any of your Tristars are for trade, I'd be interested....mostly in the PoseyI haven't decided yet if I want to trade any of them, but the Posey and the printing plates definitely won't be for trade.

The 2008 TriStar boxes are loaded with lots of big names. Last time I busted a box I pulled a Clayton Kershaw autograph. |
