Short prints are usually worth more than relics or sticker autos. The Acuna super short print goes for $200-$300 on eBay. It can be had at places like Walmart and Target.

I haven't bought a box in years. I miss ripping packs to find out what's inside. But I don't miss getting 10% value back from the contents.

ShamelessPel.

He needs to do it again. I'd front the the cost of a break on a Gold Standard Case for NBA. Secretly, because that means a good bit of credit card points.

I have a twitch account and did openings for TCGs, I wouldn't mind doing breaks

I would definitely do basketball and football breaks

Edit: I'd definitely help front for Panini Prizm boxes or other boxes like it too

This was probably my favorite thing to do as a kid besides actually playing sports. Now I pretty much just try to collect a mid-level rookie of every Auburn player that makes it to the pros. Hadn't done it for the last three years so ordered about 12-15 cards off ebay in the last week.

If anyone wants to do it I'm down. I'll participate in any sport but prefer MLB then NBA then NFL.

Someone cried to the mods about the group break, so they anchored the thread. So ShamelessPel quit having the breaks here. Which was too bad. I enjoyed watching the break.

I'll shoot my Pokemon distributor an email and see if he can get me a deal on some sports cards. I'll keep y'all posted

That’s not why. In the help board the mod said we used the upvote and downvote as a poll which got it RAd. It was okay to do the break.

As someone who has bought and sold in the past, the only thing worth investing and spending any money greater than $50 in my opinion...

Limited run RCs

Graded old baseball and basketball cards.

You’re losing your shirt on anything else. Busting boxes solo will not give you any ROI besides thrill of opening packs.

Just FYI. Hope this helps someone

You will not find limited runs in commercial packs.

You have to buy the hobby boxes.

I still have two plastic sheets of basketball cards from my childhood that somehow survived Katrina. J Kidd & Penny rookie cards are the highlights of the collection. I've that piece of nostalgia off to my son.

My entire investment portfolio consists of 1989 Ken Griffy Jr. Upperdeck cards.

I still believe the big payout is coming and I ill be able to retire early.

I didn't know some poll was against the rules. Seems harmless to me.
