Man, these things are mostly awful...

Not a single autograph in 100 packs. Not a single paper Trout.

A single Baez Chrome refractor and a purple Baez refractor.

Relics of Shelby Miller and some no-name.

A blue chrome refractor of Moustakas.

Was really bumming until the second to last pack...

























OOPS!

:flex::flex::flex:

Also, I can't get the back scan to upload to stupid photobucket, but this is number 27/50 :D

Of course the bottom left corner is touched, but still a nice pull I think.

Thanks for looking.

Literally the ONLY Trout in 100 packs. And one of only two non-purple colored cards.

I felt bad for voting for the 100 racks...happy I did :)

Not sure on value. Somewhere around 4-5 bills, hopefully.

Very annoying to open especially since 97% of them were TERRIBLE.

Gave me a good sense of why retail sucks so hard. If that gold was any other player I wouldn't have made my $160 back, let alone the $600 BO was selling these lots for.

Sahweet!!! Damn, forgot I sold an orange a couple of months ago for $325 on here. I could probably sell it for double now.

I bet you were happy to get $325 though. No regrets!

I have still never pulled a Harper auto... But I'll take this instead.

What do you guys think in terms of selling this? eBay $0.99? BIN/BO? I'm torn...

Edit: Posted it BIN/BO... Interested to see how it goes. It is number 27 but I was also honest about the touched corner.

Nice hit!

I hit one in my case back in 2012 and sold it a month before he got called up for $25! FML

Yeah, that hurts. I sold a ton of them back then... Refractors, a couple blues, etc. no golds though!

I really thought in 100 packs I would at least hit one auto...

I paid about $1.60 throughout the Blowout Opening Day promo but they sell them for around $6 each regularly.

It has a touched corner... Don't think grading is the way to go with this one.

Roller coaster... could have been any player and any number, so I can't complain too much.

I called Topps for poops and giggles and they said they'd mail me a couple packs of 2014 Series 1. :flex:

Wow that's great! $415 isn't bad for a $160 promo and you must have had a blast opening them! And you get 1,000,000 base! I'll take some of the base off your hands if you want I always love sorting through the base:)!

I already gave all the base away to a guy in my office, otherwise I would have gladly given it to you. Have a few hundred chromes to get rid of as well...

$415 plus a purple Javier Baez, basically. Pretty good when all is said and done.
