Christmas Break with the Fam - 12 Boxes Purchased on Black Friday

[TDiddy532]

Setting up a placeholder on my work PC so that I can easily edit on my iPhone when we start busting tomorrow night.

We purchased 9 boxes from Blowout on Black Friday, a couple of Panini Prizm blasters from Target, and also a random slot on the Cyber Monday Promotion which yielded a box of 2013 Panini Playbook Football which I am pretty excited to bust. Will post hits as we go...already busted one lousy box of 2008 Topps Chrome which I posted in the breaks section, as well as the Prizm blasters.

Wish us luck :)!

ITG Hits boxes were duds. I actually got 3 Justin O Connor auto's in a row in the same box. Yikes.

What amazes me with the finest box is not just the harper but that you also pulled the atomic patch as well.

Wow.

Does it bother any non-reds fans seeing griffey relics with a reds jersey lol grinds my gears! Haha

[HYPTZEMDSTRPLES]

Where is the Topps Allen & Ginter break?

[TDiddy532]

Where is the Topps Allen & Ginter break?

We had to wait for my little brother to crack that and he didnt get into town until last night. It was a dud.

Weeks, Gomez, and Aaron Hill relics were the 3 hits.

[StayingWarm]

Great break, man. The Harper speaks for itself, but even aside from that you did well. That Fisk is absolutely beautiful!

[TDiddy532]

I was pretty jaded about busting wax in general, we literally haven't gotten 10% of our money back for 4 straight Christmases, but this break was just silly. Even without the Harper, we still pulled case hits and great base auto hits left and right.

Definitely one for the books :)!

[TDiddy532]

Added some hi-res scans of the Harper in the OP, enjoy!

Griffey was fairly relevant in Cincinnati. It would be worse to have him in a White Sox jersey. Every once in a while you'll see a Joe Namath card with him in a Rams jersey, or Unitas in a Chargers jersey, and those just make no sense at all IMO.

[TDiddy532]

Agreed, but I have seen some very nice Reds Griffey auto's and patches

Thanks!

Doesn't bother me in the slightest, he LOVES Cincy, he called it home most of his life, he went to High School there and he told the YANKS to S his C and took LESS MONEY, Millions less to play for Cincy - HE LOVES IT THERE, so I'm perfectly ok collecting pieces of Reds Jerseys from Griffey's days there.
