Case #6 Summary
Grade: B-
Comments: Half the boxes in this case were slightly lower in value than what I paid, but the ones that were good value were very good. Case hits included the Blackburn blue auto, the Sanchez Red Ice, the Hawkins base auto, the Heaney red refractor (which I mistyped above as Healey), and the Addison Russell Perfect Game auto. I can’t quite give it a full B grade, but it’s almost there.

Yeah, the boards have been slow lately. Even though I'm out of the running for the contest - I knew I shouldn't have bid so low! - I'm still following your break! Good luck on the rest!

Comments: Great pull, although for whatever reason it’s curved as bad as packs of 2010 Bowman Chrome. I’ll have to put it in a top loader and underneath some books for a few days to see if it will flatten a bit. I don’t get too excited about plates, but the blue auto is pretty great. Also, the high serial number gives us a new contest leader: anagel predicted a highest serial number of 139. He’ll have to dodge the possibility of some more Perfect Game autos, but it’s a good spot to be in.
