In my humble opinion, a good product to buy in case form. Its fun to break & you can either love or hate the base card design.

On an earlier thread, an astute comment was made about each case having a 1/1 & a Jumbo Jersey. This info is very accurate.
A case has two 5 box inner cases. The first 5 box case yielded the following:

1/13 Jumbo jersey of Jered Weaver. Nice 3 color piece that appears to be a part of the letter E.
1/1 Regular base card of Brewers pitcher Yovani Gallardo. If your not watching, you can skip past these in the first five base cards.
2 color swatch Primetime Patch of M. Ordonez. / decent.
7 Solo Shot inserts. 4 auto's / R. Ibanez being the best, 2 one-color jerseys & a wood bat piece of Manny Ramirez.
4 One color Primetime Patches. These are bland & every company needs to think of why they keep putting in one color swatches.
A Presidential Plate of Bill Clinton. These are nice.

In the second pack / 1st box of the 2nd 5 box case, I got the case hit. A 1/1
USA / MLB Logo man of Royals 2nd baseman Chris Getz. He just got traded along with J. Fields to the Royals for Mark Teahan.
IMO, the Logo cards are outstanding, even if its a lower tier player. I was esctatic when I saw this.

I have 22 packs left in the first box & 4 unopened boxes. I will probably open up the rest of the first box & store the other 4 unopened boxes away. A general question to anyone who has opened a case or cases, is there a button card in the remaining packs / boxes?


Here's a pic of the hits. The Getz & Presidential Plate are not for sale / trade.





Thanks for looking. Happy New Year!

it could be a buttton card, jumbo patch, jumbo patch auto, triple auto, triple relic, or a bat knob.

I am pretty sure that in one of the mini cases you geta "unique card" (your logoman auto) and a presidential plate in the other mini case. So I am pretty sure you pulled all of the good stuff

Sell the boxes...you got a 1/1 in each 5 box set. A 1/1 Logoman is the case hit and the 1/1 parallel base card is the other.

The button cards or button autos would have replaced the Logoman...you pulled your case hit.

As for the Presidential Plates...they come 1 per case, with the brown barrels as common and the Black ones as 1/1 parallels totally 44 1/1's. I was lucky enough to pull the Abraham Lincoln one and am currently trying to sell it.

Sell the remaining boxes and get some money back

If you sell the rest of the boxes do you tell bidders that the case hit was found?

If not, is this not pack searching but just on another level?

This discussion has been had on here before about a person and a case of Exquisite where a big hit had been pulled. It just turned into a Fight between people disagreeing with each other. Lets not go down that road path again. haha
Nice stuff so far. Hopefully your luck can continue!

If I were to sell the four unopened boxes, I would put in the item description that the 1/1 case hits had been pulled & price the unopened boxes accordingly. This would help recoup some of the cost for the case.

I did open the other 22 packs in box# 6 & I did pull a nice 3 color Primetime Patch of Roy Oswalt. These are the only way patch cards should be made.

You would be the first seller I had ever noticed doing that and should be commended for it.
