First hobby box break in over a decade: 2011 Topps Lineage, complete stat breakdown
First hobby box break in over a decade: 2011 Topps Lineage, complete stat breakdown
So, when i went into business for myself, i decided not to collect anymore - the old adage of "dont get high on your own supply" being in the front and back of my mind.
Busting boxes is almost always a money loser for the ledger book, so i have always just avoided it. Every once in a while i would buy a blaster at walmart, but that was it
In buying inventory the past couple years, i really came to like 2011 topps lineage. not enough to go back into collecting, but i enjoyed the set. not overloaded with rookies, some hall of famers, and the throwback inserts were mostly from a time when i first started collecting
Earlier this week, i finally decided to buy a box (almost bought a case, until i snapped out of it). Found a box, got it for 52 dollars, with free shipping.
i have no intention of keeping the bounty, but everything worth 1 dollar or would go into my dutch auction (10% of which goes to my charity) and put everything else into my charity lots, 100% of which goes to my charity.
52 dollars for a mid-level box wasnt bad. so what did i get:
Base cards, non rc or (rc) worth 1 dollar or more:
18 cards = $26.75, average bv $1.48
