Thrilled with Another $5 Mixer from Rite-Aid - rjcj2017 - 05-21-2020 Picked up Chinese food to go last night ... order wasn't ready when I got there so I went across the parking lot to Rite-Aid and picked up another one of those $5 mixers of 75 random football cards. Back story real quick before I get to the break ... when I purged my collection a couple of summers ago, I got rid of 350,000 cards that included almost all non-PC autos, game used, RCs, base, etc. So when my beloved Detroit Lions signed Jamie Collins and Desmond Trufant as free agents in the offseason, I pretty much knew I didn't have any of their cards, not even base. (And pretty sure I purged two Trufant autos because he was a Falcon then.) OK, now to the break - out of this 75-card mixer, I pulled both 2013 Topps rookie cards of Trufant and Collins! These cards probably don't book for a dollar apiece but I was thrilled to add them to my Lions PC for such a small investment. If you've never tried these mixers before I highly recommend them ... I've probably busted 20-30 of them over the years and I don't think I've ever had one that I was disappointed in. RE: Thrilled with Another $5 Mixer from Rite-Aid - dogger99 - 05-21-2020 Not bad for $5 and a little fun. Don't think we have Rite-Aids around here. Got a Trufant 2013 Bowman Mini auto if interested. In college uni, with airbrushed helmet. And a Collins 2013 Topps Chrome Orange Refractor (combine gear). Others of both but in NFL gear. RE: Thrilled with Another $5 Mixer from Rite-Aid - ZSDOne - 05-22-2020 Its been a while since I got any of those - they were often quite fun even if you don't get a "hit" - and since I didn't buy cards in the 1990s or 2000s, I usually would get something I needed for my Eagles collection RE: Thrilled with Another $5 Mixer from Rite-Aid - rjcj2017 - 05-22-2020 (05-21-2020, 07:03 PM)dogger99 Wrote: Not bad for $5 and a little fun.

This latest box even included a pack of 2020 Leaf Draft ... I was surprised to see that. My best pull was a Jacob Eason gold TD Kings card. His dad Tony's sister used to be my mom's Jazzercise instructor back in the day so I was a big fan of the Patriots back then. Tony sent me a signed Super Bowl program from the year they lost to the Bears, so I've always been a fan of the family. |
