Case #10 Summary
Grade: B
Comments: Last four cases were all about the same quality, and I was happy with them all. This one was characterized by a black auto, a Gausman AFLAC auto, a Taveras Jersey, a Liriano Jumbo Patch, a Harper base refractor, and of course the purple Plawecki auto. Solid value. And we have a contest winner: congratulations, esa0315!! Details on your $50 shopping spree will be sent via PM. This Message Board has been crawling lately, so I doubt anyone is around at the moment. Still, I appreciate the good wishes, and I’ll be back to wrap up the break tomorrow.
10 Case Break Summary
Grade: B
Comments: Probably not a big surprise that I give this break a solid B, as it was my modal case grade. I assigned one C+ grade, 2 B- grades, 5 B grades, 1 B+ grade, and 1 A. It’s my highest grade for a break of Draft since 2009. I think it’s an excellent product, and though prices have not risen, they haven’t fallen much either. You can get cases for $700 delivered at a popular retail website, and boxes for $60. I personally think it’s a solid value at $71/box or less, and if I hadn’t purchased 10 cases I’d purchase some more. The auto checklist is deep, there’s plenty of color, and there are lots of cool inserts. I have some serious sorting to do now, but I’m going to enjoy this set for decades. Cheers, --Nathan
