There's a monthly show near the Milwaukee area that has roughly 30-40 tables at it. Picked up a some singles of Finest refractors from various years, including a slick looking 1997 Finest Refractor of an uncommon card that's embossed. As we were looking to leave, my wife spots it:




Oh my, well I can't resist the siren song. I ask how much and the guy says $100. I don't have cash on me! My wife asks if a check is cool and the guy politely declines. I ask if he can take credit card and he cannot. Last ditch effort, I ask if I can Paypal him. No dice.

We leave and I'm saying how that's a good deal on the box. My wife points out a BMO bank across the street with ATM. 10 minutes later I'm back and I secure the purchase!

Later that day I get down to business. I'll spare the pack by pack details but here are the results from each mini box.

Minibox 1


Favre Black Refractor is #/99


Minibox 2


Manning Gold Refractor is #/49
But what's that blurred out card????????


Minibox 3


Not pictured is an Adrian Peterson rookie card which means completing this set became a whole lot easier to do. But what about that blurred card?




OH SNAP!





Calvin Johnson Black Xfractor rookie auto #3/10!!!! That card has waited 12 years to see the light of day. Thanks to my wife's eagle eyes and encouragement, had one of the best Finest box breaks ever .

Holy crap, that Calvin Johnson auto is a down payment on a used car alone. Is that PC, or you going to try to move it?

If you are a comprohensive team collector, or a set builder, take a look at what I have, because I need that Finest McGahee you pulled.

I enjoyed reading the thread, but I can't see the pictures for some reason and it is killing me.

Nice hit and congrats. Not a used car but but definitely nice spending money but you are a finest guy .
