Ouch! Sorry to see your break was so rough. You win some you lose some. I am happy I was able to contribute with the meager Bill Walton purchase lol. I was going to bid $100 on the Waiters JSY, that was a very nice patch. I don't understand why so many people blame Panini. I have had tons of horrible breaks from products coming from Topps and UpperDeck. I remember paying over $100 for boxes like Chrome and EX in the late 90s, and never coming close to reaching that value in product. I think most people know they are not going to make money off breaks, and that is kind of the thrill of opening. You never know when you might hit that huge card. I buy singles for the most part and usually avoid wax just because I can't afford to maintain my PC and open products. Personally I like a lot of the designs Panini has been using, my biggest complaint is the pricing, I wish the products were a little more affordable. Were products from other companies more affordable 2000-2010?
