Comments: Holy moley. I was resigned to shelling out another $300 for a Harper, and was totally stunned to pull one in the last box. 20youksox wasn’t surprised, though, edging out insidethevines for the contest win. Obviously my biggest hit of the case and of the break. I will follow up tomorrow with case and break summaries, and I’ll be in touch via PM with 20youksox about the contest prize once I do a little sorting. I’m exhausted, and there’s only the Hawaii game on, so it’s time for me to go to sleep. Thanks for the moral support and talk to you tomorrow.
Grade: A+

I have to say that this was a very fun thread to keep checking. Thanks for the break and the contest.

congrats - and thank you for showing me why I should steer clear of box busting for a long time.

haha ... I know a couple other breaks I've seen here were last pack hits too, but not on 60 boxes! Congrats!

Awesome! Gotta love last box magic-your "HarperHarperHarper" energy worked.
Thank you as always Pyweed for the box break entertainment.

Thanks for the break. Entertaining as always. This was just brutal though. I am glad I don't have the cash flow right now to drop that much and get what you got or less. Thanks again.

With 2 autos per box the odds of pulling an auto of any particular player are small...and if pulling a Harper is the sole reason for buying boxes/cases then buy the single and save money. They won't triple print certain players to make collectors happy. Topps has problems, but give them a break.
