1 Box 2013 Topps Chrome
1 Box 2013 Topps Chrome
Got this box in the mail this week. Thought I would share the results.
First up, a few inserts. Certainly nothing to write home about.
On the up side, Eddie Lacy seemed to be well represented......
Which would all be well and good if I collected Green Bay, but as I'm sure most of you know, I only collect Pittsburgh. Still, I was happy to see the Lacys for their trade value. I love the look of those rookie die-cuts. Finally, about 20 packs into the 24 pack break, I pulled this..........
Might not look like much to you guys, but given my poor luck pulling Steelers from packs, I was thrilled!! So I get down to my very last pack and still no auto. I'm thinking that I may be the victim of the dreaded "missing hit". But the very bottom card of the very last pack is backwards. I breathe a sigh of relief but then realize that while it looks like I did get my auto, odds are that it's not anything too spectacular....
I was wrong.........................
Sorry for all the drama, it doesn't take much to excite me. Haha
Obviously, I was very happy, but now the problem of what to do with it. I would like to trade it for a Topps Chrome Le'veon Bell auto refractor, but the Lacy lists for $150 and the camo for Bell only lists for $80. Even the shorter prints, blue wave etc., #ed /15 or /25 only list for $100 - $120. I am debating if I should take a shorter printed auto plus another auto if someone offered it or if I should just put it on ebay and use the money to buy a couple of Bells on auction. I checked it out and the Lacy camo has been selling for $110 - $120 and I saw a Bell camo that went for around $50. I'm leaning towards the bay, but have never bought or sold anything there before. I'm really afraid I'll get the "disease" and start going overboard. Then again, I spend the money on cards anyway. Any comments or advice are certainly welcome. Thanks for the look!!
