only brutal for people griping about it and people paying for it.
I just liked seeing the old cards. but $17.00 for a number times 660 is just grand theft |

Houdini no less! Appropriately named gent. After watching what little value was pulled from the packs...u would think unopened wax would take a hit. Definitely not good PR for unopened material. What a scam!

It wasn't a scam. That's the price of the box on the market, direct from BBCE. Everyone who entered this break knew their expected ROI was low. It was a lottery ticket type break. This one didn't work out because the centering (mostly just the back centering) was awful.
If you want to blame someone for the price point, blame the unopened market. Nobody in the break feels like they got hosed, and many expressed interest in doing it again. Do you blame people when your lotto numbers don't come out?

I agree about the centering....I wondered if it was just the camera angle on some, but it appeared that the star cards were o/c(IE the 2 Clemente cards)....based of the centering, the fact that not many cards were called out for high potential future grades, the tape job on the box, and that one pack (out of 24) appeared to already be opened, I could only wonder if the box had already been searched. Also, I am not a sequence expert (especially with the all series 73s packs), but while there were some duplicates, if the sequences in packs were more typical, IMO, there should have been more duplicates.
If all of the participants knew the box itself had been taped and one pack opened, would they have been as willing to buy in? Last edited by savedfrommyspokes; 05-22-2016 at 07:27 AM. |

Believing the box is worth that much on the open market is also silly/foolish. Im not saying you are foolish..the concept/idea is Just my opinion, don't take it personal |
