2011 Topps Update Hobby Box

[txbevo]

Yesterday wasn't a good day at the LCS. Went in to get some supplies and broke down and got what turned out to be possibly the worst box of 2012 Series 1 you could get (see other thread I posted about this break). I also wanted a box of 2010 Topps Update because it was dirt cheap and I still need several cards to put together a set so I bought one. Didn't realize until I got home that the owner had put a box of 2011 Update in the bag instead of 2010. Was going to return it today for the 2010 as I have a ton of 2011 and didn't really need any more. Long story short, I went ahead and busted the 2011 since it was staring me in the face.

It was an interesting box. I didn't hit anything big, but I pulled a silk /50, All-Star GU relic, 2 Hope Diamond /60, 1 Black border /60, 14 Gold border /2011, 2 Legends Variation SPs and 42 Cognacs including Hosmer. It has been awhile since I busted a box of Update, but I don't remember any of those falling at that rate in the other boxes. Not a valuable box by any means, but interesting.

Lol, 2011 Update is pretty awesome. I opened a hobby box and got three Hope diamonds and two Blacks. Was crazy. I don't remember who they were anymore but that box may have actually been close to profitable.
