5 of Houdini’s Mystery Boxes

[riddler_149]

I finally got a chance to sit down and open the boxes that I bought for Christmas for myself. Overall, not too bad for the first box, I will update as I break the others.

I also got a case of Stranger Things Season 1 that I am assuming came with one of the boxes because I never ordered it and it was packed with the five boxes.

Box 11/200

Peter Canon Star Trek autograph card
Star Wars Living Set: General Hux, Admiral Piett, Captain Needa, Jawa, Nien Nunb
Dean Ambrose WWE autograph card 12/25
12 packs of Stranger Things (more stickers and a Cynthia Barnett as Marsha Holland autograph)
2 packs of Fortnite
1 pack of Michael Jackson

Not as exciting as the first box, but still solid. I have no knowledge of wrestling- can someone let me know how good of a pull the Ambrose autograph is?

So that is where the case of Stranger things landed. Congrats on the second best hit after the Harrison Ford auto in this break!

Box 190/200

I’ll assume the case of Stranger Things goes with this boxes since the contents were rather sparse.

12 packs of Stranger Things (edit: pulled a Matt Duffer purple 18/25 autograph card)

1 pack of Fortnite
1 pack of Panini Michael Jackson

VIP pack looks to be Transcendent WWE pack with a 1/1 base card I think

The pack contains 3 wrestling cards, most people that have gotten them think the best value is to sell them unopened.

The other candidate for being the box with the Stranger Things case:

https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200102/f5e34e3c490027e75d5e6211774227f1.jpg

Silver VIP pack
1 pack Michael Jackson
1 pack Fortnite
12 packs Stranger Things
Star Wars Living Set: Quay Tolsite
Star Wars: 11

Overall, the Dern auto in my first box and the Stranger Things case puts me well ahead, but I can see how people who got boxes like my two dud boxes would be upset.

Overall, I liked the mystery boxes, and was willing to buy in so I could get cards for sets that I don’t normally buy for myself. I do wish that there was less wrestling and a bit more variety to the cards, but I am very happy with my decision to buy into the mystery boxes and would probably do so again if another non-sport one occurred.

Thanks for the posts and details of the boxes...funny thing is if I had known wrestling was going to be in these I would've picked up a few...that being said, if you want to trade the wrestling, give me a shout!

PM me if you are interested in trading or buying. Right now the wrestling packs are unopened and the auto is in my “Send to COMC” pile, so I’d rather save on the fees and work something out over the boards.
