I want you people to start doing 90's/early 00's group breaks...

[duron]

Please, for the love of god, someone get the ball rolling on this.

I'm not being sarcastic when I say this....
I would literally pay a monthly fee just to be able to watch 90s group break streams/videos.

I would trade my 10 dollar a month netflix subscription for a 90s box break subscription. I scour youtube from time to time just to see if there are any new old school breaks, but they are WAY too few and far between.

C'mon Blowout, smarten up.

[deemsterz33]

I agree so much!

[gslayton]

I opened 40-50 boxes of 96-99 boxes last year. These would be very boring videos. (I'd still join the breaks tho :))

[Xiarmadillo]

man that will just be a bloodbath...

[duron]

These would be very boring videos.

As it can probably be inferred from what I said in my original post, I couldn't disagree more.

Especially for sets with lackluster base cards, exercising patient anticipation is precisely why I find them so entertaining.

man that will just be a bloodbath...

Couldn't this be said for 75% of modern breaks? I must be missing something here...

[Dwade Collector]

man that will just be a bloodbath...

85% of breaks are bloodbaths lol

As fun as it sounds. They would be a t-total disaster roi wise.

[SlickRick]

It could work for a small group. Full cases are few and far between, but if 10-15 guys threw in 10-20 bucks a month, it could go towards a monthly box. Just gotta go in knowing only one card is returning their money back every month

I'm game. eBay has a box of 98-99 thunder that I've been watching but way outa my budget. Anyone else have a box they want to nominate. There is a box of 2000-01 topps gold label on Beckett marketplace. Id also be interested in any late 90s ultra boxes. I'd do 10$ for dibs on any Ron Harper cards plus a second round pick. I'd obviously lose money but I think I'd be fun and if only once per month I'd be down... Would just call it entertainment cost :)

[Doublexthebeast]

Id definitely be down for this. The problem would be getting blowout to purchase the product for the break.

[kukocitb]

Completely AGREE! Probably a better ROI with older breaks. Teams and player breaks would be AWESOME!

[jcardstore]

I'm down, couldn't care less about ROI or anything just want to break for the nostalgia haha.

[MyckKabongo]

Man I love collecting 90s but I couldn't bring myself to ever break the more expensive wax. Not when you can find undervalued 90s cards so easily on Craigslist, garage sales, card shows, etc.

[Cervantes]

Is there any mid-90's Fleer Ultra, Upper Deck, or Skybox cases/boxes left in existance?

If so, point me in that direction.

They are out there but are very rare and get very expensive. If we want to do cases of 90's product it will likely need to be Finest or Chrome as they seem to be the ones that are "easiest" to find. I have busted several cases of 96-97 series 2 Topps, 98-99 Bowmans Best, and 98-99 Finest(series 1 and 2) over the last few years. They are all a pretty good time. 97-98 Finest cases come up for sale every once in awhile and they are a blast as well. 3 or 4 years ago somebody had a 97-98 Fleer Ultra 30 box case on Ebay. I almost bought it several times. I also saw a 16 or 20 box case, can't remember for sure, of 98-99 Metal Universe at the National a few years ago. Those would have been some awesome breaks.

[minnesotachill]

There's really no chance in hell this would ever work.

I've opened plenty of 90s boxes with nothing to show for it.

2 years ago I opened 20 boxes of 97 E-X2001 with a current market value of $8,000-$10,000.

Got 2 Credentials of Webber and no-name rc that resold for around $900. Sold the inserts and some sets for around $100-200.

So in the end, I gave up $10,000 in wax boxes for $1200 in cards.

That's basically how all 90's boxes are. You will lose about 90% of your money busting these products.


And what would happen if you did hit a big cards...say for instance, the 97 E-X2001 Credentials 1/1 of Grant Hill. You got one guy with a 5 figure card, and the rest get 50 cent base cards.

Yeah, your pretty spot on for the most part. I used to bust a ton of the higher end boxes but now try to stay in the $50-150 range. I've pulled some incredible cards though and have actually came out in pretty good shape. The worst that I did was when I busted 10 boxes of 96-97 EX 2000 a few years ago. Only 2 of my Kobe's that I hit were BGS 9's and the rest weren't high grade at all. I only hit 1 A Cut Above of Iverson which graded a PSA 10, and all of my credentials were of common players. I did bust 25+ boxes of 98-99 Topps Series 2 hobby(about 20 boxes) and the rest were jumbos. In the first box I hit a Jordan red label which paid for everything plus over $1000 in profit. Boxes in that price range are the way to go.....but are very boring in comparison to EX, Metal, Flair Showcase, SPx.....etc

[bigcwd2000]

Just out of curiosity is there any reason why Blowout doesn't carry 90's basketball boxes? I would think if the price were right people would buy them.

[Doublexthebeast]

They used to carry them. I used to buy quite a bit from them about 5-6 years ago. It's hard to find them cheap enough for them to make much money I bet. Everybody knows EBay prices so it's hard for online retailers to mark up much above eBay.

[Jay9Suited]

I'll take the Bulls.

[Penny and KG]

I'd join those group breaks!

[Harper]

I think some people are completely missing the point. Break is for collectors not prospectors. If I have Harper in the break Minot gonna be pissed if a grant hill 1/1 pops up. It's for fun... A hit like that from 90s product would be cool even if I didn't get the card

[Kobe101]

I would join for team breaks of any older ultra fleer skybox metal upper deck (base) ect

Well, this is definitely true....but I would cry if the Hill 1/1 showed up and I didn't get it. lol.

I know what you mean though. If we were doing team randoms and somebody hits a huge Jordan or something like that, it would be cool to be a part of the break,

They still do carry them, but You're correct. You have to purchase them at online market prices. Like I said earlier I purchased a couple boxes of 98-99 Stadium Club & 97-98 Finest at the Fantastic Store. They have some retro boxes in store sometimes.

[duron]

If any of you pulled a rare KG, that'd be great.
If it was numbered - even better.

If it was jersey numbered, I'd fly over.....

[eliteman0318]

90s boxes are the best!

[Archangel1775]

Blowout makes good money doing what they do.There is no reason for them financially to work outside that box.

[Harper]

I think this system could work very very well for player collectors. I truly would be happy if a fellow player collector hit a rare card. If a Toni Kukoc, Charles Barkley, Chris Webber, Larry Johnson, Patrick Ewing, Dominique Wilkins, Gary Payton, etc etc... card came up I would honestly be happy for the guy who PCs that player to get the hit.

On the other hand, if it is some team random or investment opportunity... yeah it would stink to see someone else hit a rare 1/1 or green PMG knowing it likely isnt even going to stay in their PC.

[duron]

Blowout makes good money doing what they do.There is no reason for them financially to work outside that box.

I never meant to imply that this should even necessarily be a Blowout-ran thing. I wanted to group together a bunch of people so we could get the process going on our own. There are a handful of members I could think of on here that are true collectors and should be involved in something like this.

Like Harper said, this wouldn't even be about getting hits. Any flippers could go take a walk. This would be purely about enjoying whatever last remnants of what's still out there lying in boxes, and recording each break as a way to document it. The spectacle of it is half the fun, I know for a fact this wouldn't be boring in the slightest for many of us.

But who is going to spend their hard earned money "just to see" what is in these boxes??

[duron]

But who is going to spend their hard earned money "just to see" what is in these boxes??

Said members, in theory. It's not like I've actually spoken to them, but you're telling me a group of about 10 people wouldn't throw up money for say 1 box a month to do this? I'd be down.

12 of us throwing 10 bucks one month could open a 97-98 Finest box, for example. Would be awesome. I just see too much 90s fanatic manpower on here for something like this not to be organized.

[Harper]

There are 2 boxes of 98-99 thunder on the bay. Anyone with a webcam and able to film a break count me in!! I will take Ron Harper for 10$

Boxes have 36 packs each and are 200$ a piece. I think this is a decent price?

[buckunteer]

that's right around average for those boxes. No chase cards in there for my main man Mitch though.

Here are boxes that (typically) go under $100 that I would like to see:

94-95 Finest (preferably series 2 for MJs :D )
94-95 Emotion
95-96 SP
95-96 Skybox (NOTHING valuable in these, but SO many cool-looking inserts)
96-97 Topps series 2 (whichever series has the Kobe RC, I think it's 2 haha)
96-97 Skybox retail series 1 for Kobe RCs (hobby boxes go higher than $100+)
96-97 UD series 1 (again for Kobe RCs)
96-97 through 98-99 Stadium Club (cheap, a few chases, maybe a printing plate?)
97-98 Bowman's Best (right on the fringe of $100- which sucks b/c 3 years ago I was busting these for $55 a box! Broke 8-10 boxes pulled 3 MJ refractors alone!)
98-99 Finest (either series)
98-99 Topps Chrome
99-00 Finest (either series)

Boxes over $100 but that wouldn't break the bank:

95-96 Finest
96 or 97 SPx
96-97 Skybox hobby
97-98 Finest
97-98 Chrome
97-98 Diamond Vision (this one and Chrome can occasionally be found under $100 if you're fortunate)
97-98 Upper Deck (MJ game jersey, anyone??)
98-99 SP Authentic

Expensive boxes I would buy all of should I win the powerball:


96-97 Bowman's Best (retail boxes can be had around $175, hobby $200-$250)
96-97 Chrome (these were $50 a box at Walmart when they came out- now they go for $800. If only we knew!!)
97-98 SPx (typically $225 a box, come up occasionally)
97-98 SP Authentic (same price, come up even less often)
any of the first 3 years of EX or Flair Showcase (96-97 through 98-99)
1998 MJx (I've got the Bulls!)
97-98 Metal or 98-99 Metal (PMG huntin')


That's my two cents :D

[duron]

^ solid list right there.

I'm happy to say I have a box arriving either tomorrow or Tuesday that would fall into the first category. I would def amend it to include what's on my way, I won't say what it is just yet but I plan to make a box break thread for it.

Really excited since the last time I opened a 90s box was about a year and a half ago.

[Deadshot]

I see boxes of 1997-98 Hoops Series 1 and 2 on ebay hovering around $100 (but they don't seem to be moving).

This was one of my favorite sets growing up. What would be a good price for these boxes, and is there anything desirable in them aside from Autographics? (if you know of any major differences between Series 1 and 2, please let me know as well)

Only thing really worth it aside from the autographics in series 1 would be the Hooperstars inserts, and i think only MJ has any decent value. Series 2 has the 9-1-1 set (1:288) and High Voltage set that are 1 per box, then there's the rare ones numbered to 500 (maybe like 1 or 2 per case?)

Also, all the RC's are worth pennies iirc.

The High Voltage 500 are gorgeous, you've prob seen pics of those, but I really like how these look too...
http://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/PIIAAOSwymxVKyFf/s-l400.jpg

All that said, I still don't think it's worth it at $100 a box, especially for series 1.

Btw, can someone clarify retail vs. hobby on these? I know the High Voltages are hobby, were the 9-1-1's retail-only?

[drobfan8]

I would love to see something like this happen.

I mentioned this to an Australian shop dealer one time when he was just opening and received crickets in return.

I think it would need to be random team so everyone has a chance at the Jordan stuff.

I'd just love to see some rare 90s gems come out of the woodwork.

I organized such a group break a couple of years ago: 26 collectors all had to chose a player or more (that they collect), and they also had a random team for all the other cards. I was the only judge as to who could participate or not. I would not accept someone who has only a handful of Jordans, Kobes, or Iversons in his "PC". The priority was for longtime collectors or collectors with a sizeable collection, who I know would not flip the card a few weeks after.

I opened 7 boxes of Stadium Club from 1997 to 2000, hoping for a printing plate (ended up with one from Darrell Armstrong), as well as a box a 99-00 Topps Gold Label!

Awesome! I hope to pick up a couple of mid-90's boxes in the near future.

I consider myself a Jordan collector, but I don't have anything high-end. I do have 400+ cards of his, plus duplicates, and tons of memorabilia, like posters, watches, figurines, complete jumbo sets, and everything else I can find, lol.

Anyways, I bet that was a fun break.

[buckunteer]

99-00 gold label is a solid choice, as is busting enough stadium club boxes like you did to make the odds of landing a plate pretty good. Dibs on Mitch Richmond (since everybody else will flock to MJ) :P

[Shareef35]

I'd be in for Shareef cards

[Tarheelsfan2012]

I had thought about contacting BO to see if they would let me do a 96-97 Chrome Box Player Random at one time:eek:. I think in these cases they would have to get it from Baseball Card Exchange.

[jbarnett83]

Yep the last few I've bought were around 200....fun break but not worth it imo over $225

I have a box of 96/97 Fleer ultra srs 1 on the way.

Man I would love to see a case of this done (although I've seen 3 boxes in the last year).

96/97 Flair or 97/98 would also be incredible.

97/98 Ultra would also be a winner. Beautiful inserts

holy S*%& you hit SEVEN legacies in one box? I broke a box of 97-98 Flair and I kid you not the most valuable card I hit was a row 2 rookie of T-Mac. No Duncans, no legacies, not even a Jordan row 3 it was a disaster.

I'd buy those and bust them myself :D

Almost pulled the trigger on This (http://www.ebay.com/itm/201896801539?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT) to be honest.

[kukocitb]

We should do some old school breaks at the national!

[Sigchiwab44]

I would be down for breaking some product at national as long as some others brought product also.

[buckunteer]

I'd be sitting on a gold mine if these were series 1 metal universe!!! I think the last one on Ebay was listed at $1600 for one box...crazy. I busted 3 of the championship last month and zilch...absolutely nothing. These other 6 are coming from same guy so hopefully the good stuff is in those!!!

[wj1984]

anyone interested in doing a case break for 1996-97 finest series 2 (kobe finest gold refractor rc) @ about 100 usd a box exclude shipping :D:D

From Singapore!

[TheRoundMound]

When can we buy spots now o:

Championship preview /50

That's what I thought. Just checking :)!

I mean obviously everybody wants the rare MJs from these products- myself included- so I probably wouldn't bother bidding on that. I'd just wait for 90s products with rare Mitch Richmonds I need and go that route (flair legacies, ultra platinum medallions, credentials, etc :D )

Ha! If legit I would buy every case I could get my hands on for $100/box :D

[wj1984]

Guy only has 1 case... going to pick up 2 boxes for nostalgic sake and I think there could be a high chance for cards sticking together!

Wish I could find card shops that would sell those things for $100/box. Hard enough finding a box for a decent price let alone a case.

[TheRoundMound]

anybody interested in a 90s mixed Series Break
which one would you prefer to be in?


98/99 Topps Stadium Club Series One

99/00 Topps Series 2

[buckunteer]

of those I'd go 98-99 UD (for MJs), all the 97-98 skybox boxes for autographics, and if 99-00 Topps Gold refers to gold label, then I'd be up for that one as well.

honestly, get the case. Finest cards stick less often because of the protective coating. It's chrome products that tend to be the worst.

I have already made contact with the seller to pick up 2 boxes! If I have bought the entire case it would probably sit in my store!

only 2 cards that are worth the pull; Jordan Gold and kobe Gold RC refractor

[BruceS]

That´s the problem with all the wax from the 90`s. Prices are so high, that you´ll almost need to pull one of let´s say the two or three best cards of the product. How are the chances?
Was opening lately 3 Boxes from the 90`s, paid like 360$ and had maybe 30 $ of cards in return. That´s the risk.

Busted 8 of these boxes in the past 2 months and no pmgs. This stuff is brutal for sure lol. All came from the same original cardshop. I have 1 left so hopefully the money card is in there!

Since you posted in this thread you are now obligated to bust that final box now and share the results:devil:

[Sigchiwab44]

Already busted and zilch. From numbering on boxes it looked like they could have come from 2 different cases. I was going to sell a few but the boxes were in rough shape. I bought from the original purchaser. Also bought 98-99 Flair from the same guy which I pulled a Kobe Legacy so I was pretty hyped for these Metal boxes.

It makes me wonder the rate of pmgs for the championship series. One per case if that?

Jbarnett aren't you glad I didn't sell you any?!?

[Sigchiwab44]

Yes, all hobby boxes

Can you imagine if there were pmg versions of the Championship Galaxy set?

Jeeeeeeeeeeeesus.

[CastleBeachCards]

Championship Galaxy is awesome.......Love my Jordan

[buckunteer]

I actually PULLED a Championship Galaxy back in the day. Kerry freakin Kittles. What a buzzkill

[duron]

Credit to Lingua Sportscards on YouTube for this info, but did you know there's an error of sorts on one of the cards in the Championship Galaxy set?

Biting my tongue and will give 20 innanetz points to whoever points out the specific error.

[Cervantes]

If I'm looking for a box from the mid to late 90's that's very fun to break, and won't break the bank, what could I look for? I'm honestly not even looking for the 'big hit', just would like to break a box with my kids. Oh, so maybe something with a decent number of packs, too.

97-98 or 98-99 Topps

36 packs a hobby box

98-99 will prob be much cheaper

[BigRhino]

Not quite 90s but I'm doing a group break with a box of 2000 SP Authentic Bball Hobby tomorrow if anyones interested

Second this. I would also add that, even Cervantes might not care much, both series of 1998-99 Topps hobby boxes might (just maybe) still contain some early Kobe autograph cards.

Edit: uhhh just realized that it's two months ago, but still....

[COMCMax]

Saw this pop up and thought about this thread and us 90's junkies. It would be a group break massacre ROI wise ,but I'd pay just to watch the break. 720 packs...$32 a spot...We could charge admission to watch the break :)! Who's in?

1997-98 Fleer Skybox Metal Universe Championship Preview Basketball 30-Box Case (http://bit.ly/2yCOnsH)

That case is insane. I have been watching it for months. Dreaming. I would definitely be in for a group break and would even take a whole box if there are 30 people interested in each taking a box.

[duron]

derotter I'll definitely be tuning in to your channel, thanks for letting the board know.

I really enjoy just watching 90s pack/box breaks, no matter how low, mid, or high end they may be. In the off chance I'm actually able to break stuff myself (have had barely a handful of opportunities in the last just as many years) I'm in my absolute glory.

[Sigchiwab44]

That case is insane. I have been watching it for months. Dreaming. I would definitely be in for a group break and would even take a whole box if there are 30 people interested in each taking a box.

That's $650 per box roughly. I just opened 9 boxes 6 months ago at $330 per box and hit absolutely nothing. The boxes came from the original shop owner too. These boxes can be tough sometimes for sure.

[Rorschach]

I cracked some 92 Fleer Jumbos for some Rookie Sensations! Good times! The seller even tossed in 12 jumbos of 91 UD!

[myusasets]

cervantes cheap breaks that are fun. 1991-92 skybox & hoops 1&2 not only do you get the dream team but you get 100th aniv. cards in honor of basketball invention, huge sets and many jordans. as to the real question i'd rather watch guys sit around and trade cards from the 90's box they opened.

[TheRoundMound]

Today I should also receive some 90s packs together with new Barkley cards.Will create a thread in the box break section if anybody is interested.

Nice, looking forward to it.

[buckunteer]

YES...that case is just bonkers, like "hey you want a brand new Chevy Cruze with about 75% of all the available options, or a case of 20-year old basketball cards?"


For the record, I'd choose the car, but only to sell it and buy other 90s wax :D

[derotter]

So no video that time, no big hits either, but cool cards tho.

Wow, that is the best single pack of 1999 Topps I've ever seen, and I've seen hundreds opened back in the day.
