First ever case break for Christmas....2013 Donruss Elite!

[GiantPirate]

Never busted a case before and finally was in a position to pull the trigger on a cheap bust. Just finished, and it was definitely a blast. Wasn't expecting to make my money back, and this case definitely would have been a pretty solid one back in 2013!!!

Two Geno's in the case would have been huge in 2013. Can only hope that he makes a comeback next year. Te'o also followed me around, Burkhead and Terrence Williams as well.

Overall it was definitely fun. I picked Elite because of all the numbered hits beyond the Jsy/Auto's and I definitely hit a few nice Status/Aspiration ones.

Lemme know if you want anything, almost all of it will hit the bay except for a few I might hold over in case of a comeback:coffee:

[JMarchand1981]

Looks like a solid case

[MarshallCutler6]

Not a bad break! Have any scans of the Barkley auto?

[Grid]

These are a fun rip! I just busted 2 cases myself. I was surprised at some of the solid hits I was getting out of a 2013 case. The 1st case I busted had Red Status Auto /25 Geno Smith, Terrance Williams & Travis Kelce.

My only gripe is Blowout stating this in their sell section:

UPDATE 6/24/2013

- 2 extra autographs to each 12-box case
- 5 extra memorabilia cards to each 12-box case

My 2 cases had the exact 4 hits per box and nothing else. Your case had the same. Maybe they should take down that update. Claiming 7 extra hits per case is wrong. I watched a couple of case breaks on youtube while waiting for mine to show up. And no extra hits there either.
