9 Box Break of Topps Strata - Fun Break with a Big Hit!

[NYMETSJETS]

First break I've done in a while and first break posted on blowout!

I did 9 boxes over the past couple of days. I love the RC Patch autos in this product and had a blast opening them. All will be for sale so throw me offers if your interested. I don't have any trade history here yet but have plenty of history on ebay and on TCC. I'll most likely throw most of them on ebay tomorrow night.

Anyway, now to the goods:

Six Lucks, six RGIIIs and six Wilsons. A good mix of about the same number of most all the other rookies as well.

The 1 per box Die Cuts - none of the major rookies unfortunately.

Weeden #/50 and Russell Wilson #/150

With only getting five numbered variations, very happy with the ones I got.

i have not seen very many of the #'d parallels floating around...if you are not getting a couple per box i'm scared to know what the print run is on this set...they must have let the presses roll.

Some GU and some Redemption Autos. Don't like the 3 redemptions, but not bad players in a dupe of Barron and the Rainey.

Hillman not too bad, the rest not so great.

Yeah, I've thought the same things. I've seen some other breaks where people were pulling couple per box, so hopefully it's just hit or miss and not too overproduced. I guess time will tell.

Now, on to the better stuff;

Sorry Photobuck is not cooperating to rotate the two scans.

I love these patch cards. Some of the best patch autos in a while in my opinion. I got these three patches in the first five boxes of a fresh case and debated quitting as there are supposed to be three patch autos per case. But, based on some other breaks posted on blowout, it appears certain cases have up to 8 patch auto's so I decided on a few more boxes and I'm glad I did. No more patches, but pulled these.........

Robert Turbin Die Cut Auto #/5!!!! Unfortunately, slight damage on the bottom point. Not sure if it's worth it for an /5 to get replaced, and it's not terrible but definetely noticeable. Thoughts on this?

all of them seem to have damaged lol, like inception with chipping. I wouldn't worry about it to much. Nice card.

Andrew Luck Strata Box #/40. I think these are the case hits so it was great way to pull my first Luck auto for Christmas. This card is absolutely gorgeous in person and I'm so glad I went back today to go after the case hit after doing the first five boxes the other day. It's in Sharp! condition too (let's just hope I can keep it that way as I haven't found a good way to store it as it's thicker than anything I've got to protect it).

Thoughts are much appreciated! Based on a lot of the other cases/boxes I've seen, I couldn't have asked for much more even without the luck. Some nice patch autos and the Turbin /5 were pretty nice, but the Luck was definetely the icing on the cake. I guess that's why we put ourselves through all the lousy breaks of new product to get a monster hit like this one once in a blue moon.

Merry Christmas!!!

Posted 2 Jenkins and not the Floyd......
Not sure if Topps will do anything with the corner. I would sell it as is.


Wowza.....you posted that Luck while I was typing.....GREAT HIT!

Nice looking break though. Looking forward to my break.

If you want to move the Luck PM me.

Thanks
