Seriously? Talk about bad collation! And why couldn't that happen with Bumgarner Autos instead?

I guess if I saved used tinfoil and used tea bags instead of old comic books and old baseball cards, the difference between a crazed hoarder and a savvy collector is in that inherent value.

Either that, or find 3 trading buddies that PC Avery, Hunter, & Austin 
Not mad, confused and frustrated, maybe. but at $19 a box, I didn't get hosed too badly and I got a Posey Auto from my first, best box. I find it strange that with all the signers, to get 2 of the same players in a box, not twice, but three times... ?

I have had that happen with those boxes before. I have 8 more of them I picked up during Black Friday sales for under $20 a box. They are just sitting waiting for me to open, along with a bunch of other boxes. I just finished opening 4 boxes of 2013 USA Champions and get a few of my needs for the master set. Now I just need to sort the rest out, so I am probably going to hold off on opening any more boxes until tomorrow.

Well, if you get dupes, trips or quads of some other players, keep in I'm mind for a quick easy trade

LOL
Too true. Not on their best days! (or worst days, too) although I still have some hope for Xavier Avery.

Actually, based on either the odds, or the laws of probability the next few boxes should have some great hits, since I took out all these Avery, Hunter, and Austin cards
