1 BOX Topps Garbage (Precision) wish I'd just gotten a blaster of something!
1 BOX Topps Garbage (Precision) wish I'd just gotten a blaster of something!
So the night before last I got in my box of Topps Precision out of my 7-8 box order bought w the $1600 off that Griffey I sold from a $20 box. HUGE PROPS to Topps marketing team bc this product looked amazing when it first went on presale. Hadn't bought a box n over 3 yrs & was plannin on just getting $1600 worth Limited SPA & Contenders but upon seein the sell sheet for this, had to get 1 to try it out. Morn of release I looked up the cards all day on Ebay & saw bout 5 breaks here before I finally got home to break mine. What I saw made me regret getting a box of this incredibly bad, & came extremely close to selling it to my LCS owner but pulled out at the last min b/c I'd hate a 1-n-lifetime I gave away (that & he was wanting to buy for $140 / sell for $240 like all greedy LCS's tend to do.) Atleast the cavernously (if that's a word) low expectations helped out w the disappointment that comes w a product running $170 min. (Blowout) & $240+tops (for those chosen 2 waste their $$ "keeping the LHS's alive." (Not try to offend but I just don't have the money for what they charge, just so they can get their own boxes practically free.)
As I say on the video, halfway through the box (2 packs) I'm at about a $12 total of cards sell value on an average of $100 worth of product, 2nd half wasn't much better. I won't be buying Topps anymore, they're like a last-season Favre or Jordan that needs to drop outta the race before they just keep tarnishing their legacy more & more. Here are the "goods?" :

Not too bad on the base, actually the base were the best "HITS" of my $175 box! Surprisingly (well not for this product but for any self-respecting $200+ product with 12 base cards per box) none are numbered.
Jamie Harper Base RC ON-CARD AU (1:BOX)
$: Not expecting much as, although none have been sold yet, the one JUMBO RC Patch AU has sold for $3.54
EST: $1.50-$2.50
Nice card being on-card & a true base RC (ON-CARD) AU…but for a product this expensive, and a pack costing around $25+ you're probably not wanting your 1 on-card base RC AU per box of Jamie Harper.
Davone Bess "Veteran" AU sticker (1:BOX)
$: Again…NOT expecting much as HIGHEST one yet sold for $2.75
EST: $1.50-$2.50
I like Bess, a lot actually, I've collected him quite a bit since his rookie yr, bout 4 of his Contenders RC AU and like 12 of his RC AU's total, but again…for a product this expensive, and a pack costing around $25+ you're probably not wanting your 1 "VETERAN" AU card per box being a a 3-4 yr receiver unless he's around top 4 in the league.
THOSE WERE FIRST 2 PACKS / BOXES …. HAS TO GET BETTER RIGHT??
WELL, MAYBE A LIL'
Thurman Thomas RETIRED AU sticker 1:40 packs) so yeah a bad card, I was decently happy w/ it.. I mean, hard to complain about an AU card of an ALL-TIME GREAT HOFer RB…but I think I'm up to the task, so here goes:
$:SURPRISE SURPRISE..Still Not expecting much at all on yet another hit as there's only been sold yet & it was for only $15! & OH YEAH, that one was #ed /25 … mine's not even #ed
EST: $7-$8
Jordan Todman JUMBO Patch RC AU /25 sticker
Very nice card having a huge slice of patch w/ 6 levels of a 5-COLOR PATCH! BUT.. everybody's been cringing about hitting Todman this year, I don't know much about him, but just last week I saw someone hit him on the forums and ask "Who's Jordan Todman" only to get a reply of, "Some guy that EVERYBODY keeps hitting this yr on here but NOBODY wants to!"
$: YET AGAIN…Not expecting much as, although none have been sold yet, the highest regular JUMBO Patch RC AU has sold for $2.85 & one for as low as $1 w/ $2 shipping
EST: $6.50-$8
1 numbered-card in THE WHOLE ENTIRE $200 (on average) product!!
Apparently I haven't paid enough attention as to how much I've been using my debit card & I spend the money I was saving for 2 boxes SP Authentic next wk, so I was really hoping to get as close as I could towards having enough to get atleast one box by selling the contents of this one. That turned out damn good, as I probably have about:
EST: $25-$30 if I sell EVERY card one-at-a-time(& that's being EXTREMELY generous)…what a damn break!!
THEN, to make the whole break even worse, I slipped w/ a straight-razor at the end of the break and cut my thumb LITERALLY to the bone trying to cut out the odds list on the back of the cardboard mini-box. Obviously Topps isn't privy to the rumors surrounding me, NOBODY makes me bleed my own blood!
In all seriousness though, I mean dang Topps, you could have atleast lubed up first ya a$$hole :<
Used the $1600 Griffey money on a 7-box order hoping more than anything to get a Cam Newton RC AU, & am now realizing how crappy it feels when I could already bought a SP Authentic & Playoff Contenders RC AU of him solely from the boxes I've already opened + I still have the 2 Conteders & 2 SP Authentic coming in. Dang y did I ever go back to box-breaking :<
