07/08 Luxury Box Break, only 9 packs, 1 strange insert:
Decided to do a box of this to build up some GU collection.

I opened the box and the last pack was about as thick as 3 other packs... pretty sweet. The only problem is, I only got 9 packs.... What the heck?

I'll post the Parallels first and then the hits.

Parallels/RCs:
Bill Walton Yellow /249
Brendan Wright RC Yellow /249
Chauncey Billups Yellow /249
Kosta Perovic RC Yellow /249
Aaron Affalo RC /669
Morris Almond RC /669
Aaron Gray RC /669
Thaddeous Young RC /669

Hits:
Leandro Barbosa Relic Auto Redemption Sad
Rookie Relics Daequan Cook /449
Rookie Relics Gabe Pruitt /449
Yao Ming Mezzanine Relic /199
Kevin Garnett Mezzanine Relic /199
Kevin Martin Mezzanine Relic /199
Courtside Duals Nowitski/Gasol /179
Gabe Pruitt RC Relic Yellow /149 (Thank you QC)


That's everything but the last pack. I wanted to do the last pack differently because, like I said, I only got 9 packs. And up to this point my hits have been crap.

LAST PACK:
Tony Parker base
Nick Fazeakas RC /699
Steve Nash Base

I got 2 hits... I guess you could call them that:
McGrady/Yao/Brooks/Conley/Miller/Gay 6 GU 16/25

Then this very strange thing:

All Star Booklet: It magnets closed. I open it up:
Gilbert Arenas 999/999

It also has this weird mini card in it that says 4 of 5, but on the front it says 999/999.


Can anyone please explain to me what this is, if its worth anything, and if its worth anything? Thanks!

The /999 card is one of five cards (thus the reason you have 4 of 5) for the 2008 All Star Game in New Orleans. They did them as a wrapper redemption where you could open packs and get one of the serial numbered cards. For some reason, they took the leftovers and put them in packs as well.
