'14 American Thunder Bummer
#1

'14 American Thunder Bummer
Last Sunday evening, I had my fantasy league NBA draft up at my LCS and of course, I had to buy some cards. He had 1 sealed box and six loose packs of '14 American Thunder and nothing else as far as racing. So, I bought the 6 loose packs first hoping there was a hit left...there was, a solid color Kyle Busch Class A Uni/99. OK, right on, I got a hit. I didn't have enough to buy the whole sealed box, so he opened it up and packed it out to me. I bought 4 more packs and pulled 2 nice hits. First was a B&W Austin Dillon/50 parallel...that was cool, got a PC parallel. And second was a solid color JJ Battle Armour/99...the nice thing was, since I was out of money, there was a JJ fan there at the draft watching me rip and he asked how much I'd sell it for. So I got enough to buy a few more packs and pulled nothing but base and a couple inserts.

Knowing there were still two hits left and I'd already bought 1/3 of the box, I asked Bob (the owner) if he'd hold onto the rest for me for a couple days until I could get some more money. He agreed and I went back up there yesterday to buy the rest. First hit I pulled was ANOTHER solid color Stenhouse Jr Class A Uni/99...THREE solid color /99 RU cards...BUMMER! Well, I knew there auto was still left and I prayed it would save the box for me. Finally pulled it and turned it around. Now, 3 months ago, I would have been stoked with the pull as I was collecting him. But I'm trying to downsize my collection and I've since been trading and selling him off...it was a AT White Auto 12/15 Clint Bowyer. BUMMER! lol! Let's just hope the NBA fantasy team I drafted was better than all that so I can win back the money I spent on the draft fee AND all the '14 American Thunder! Anyhow, everything except the JJ and the Dillon B&W is for trade/sale.

RE: '14 American Thunder Bummer
Personally, I'd have been okay with that break but ONLY for the JJ and KyB cards! I'd have been looking for buyers and traders for the rest of the 'hits' and non-PC cards.
I don't have many cards from that release at all b/c I didn't like of all the 'hit or miss' box breaks I saw. I refused to buy one.
Oh yeah, I meant to also say "Good luck in your NBA fantasy league"!

I would have been good with the Johnson hit. Looks like it was not all that bad of box/pack break.
I collect J. Johnson, K. Larson, C. Elliott, E. Jones & The Cleveland Browns
