Case #1, Box #2

Notable colored base:
Joe Mauer gold
Dustin Pedroia gold
Eric Hosmer gold
Justin Verlander emerald

Notable Top Prospects:
Billy Hamilton
Mason Williams

Taylor Lindsey Green Refractor /399
Mike Olt Blue Refractor /199

Robbie Ray Prospect Auto
Joe Terdoslavich Prospect Auto
James Paxton Auto Relic redemption

Grade: C
Comments: Okay, this is a little closer to what I was expecting. The Terdoslavich may turn out to be a solid base prospect auto card, but I doubt Ray will be a big seller. I have no clue about the Paxton. Adding everything up I think I got about what I paid for. Incidentally, Arcia (from box #1) is the prospect auto to beat in the contest. I’m not sure there will be another blue or lower prospect auto in this case.

Sweet box! I have three hobby boxes to bust tonight and I hope they are that good. I have seen a few boxes opened (all hobby) and they have all been pretty good. I have not really seen anybody bust one yet and feel like they got screwed. Retail on the other hand has been hit and miss from what I am seeing but overall, it appears to be a really nice product. Think I am going to put this set together. Good luck on the rest of your breaks, you got a long way to go!

I agree -- the retail breaks have been pretty scary.

Trey McNutt Green Refractor /399

Tyler Collins Prospect Auto
Vinnie Catricala Green Prospect Auto /399
Brett Lawrie Auto Relic

Grade: A+
Comments: Maybe I’m totally missing the boat, but I felt like I was doing just fine with this box even without the Lawrie relic auto. I see this as a pretty big hit, even unnumbered. Maybe these will turn out to be really common, but my tentative evaluation is that this is an A+ box.
