The suspense is killing me! These are the box breaks I like!
 

*PLEASE NOTE, NOTHING IS FOR TRADE OR FOR SALE*

On the agenda for this evening:

1 2003 Playoff Contenders
1 2001 Playoff Contenders
1 2001 Leaf Certified Materials
2 2003 Leaf Certified Materials
1 2001 Bowman Chrome
1 1998 Topps Chrome
1 1998 Bowman Chrome

I already busted the loose 2003 Leaf Limited pack, and I actually pulled a retro card I wanted to pull. Not a big dollar card, but I remember this thing was smokin hot 6 years ago:

Anyway,

My oldest boy Dane who is 4, loves to crack wax with me, so we'll live break this evening after work.

I really don't like any newer products, so when I'm able to obtain some stuff that I used to love to rip back in my hayday, I jump at the chance.

Stay tuned. Hopefully we pull some nice items!

*edit*

I'll just update the OP with pics

Killed a box of 1998 Topps Chrome!!

2003 Contenders was disappointing, but I'll still submit the Barnett even though it expired in 2005 :eek:

2001 Bowman Chrome was fun. Glad I could save Derrick Mason before he got wiped away like Marty McFly!

And that's all. This was fun. I highly suggest nobody else does this so I still have boxes out there I can buy. Thanks for the look!

Good luck! I hope you don't pull any redemptions. :eek:

Good luck on your break

Yes, Grant, we share the same "taste" in box breaks :). That looks like absolutely my kind of break. Best of luck...please post lots o' scans!

those older boxes of certified have some nice stuff in them














and some turrible stuff too :p

LJ used to sell for $$ back then...

Wow wow wow!!! I built both the 2001 & 2003 Contenders sets.

2001 Contenders - you could pull a Vick or a Brees!!! :) Or a Ben Leard or a Mike McMahon. :(

2003 Contenders - you could pull a Palmer or a Romo!!! :) Or a Kyle Boller or a Dave Ragone. :(

Thanks, I'm gonna update the OP with pics from the break so people don't have to scroll as much!

dannnng i remember 98 chrome....yeah you did kill it. Got the moss and manning rookies. Was that the year where they had that black peel off on those hidden gems? Takes me back to the good ol days in collecting.

No black peel, but I know what you're talking about!

And yes, that's the point. I'm back to my roots. No new products look good to me. I'm having a blast pissing away my money!

Wow, your 2003 Contenders box blew goats. Sorry Grantie poo...:(

What did the 98 Chrome cost ya?

[QUOTE=MasterPattie;2756186]Wow, your 2003 Contenders box blew goats. Sorry Grantie poo...:([/QUOTE]

Was still a blast!!

[QUOTE=Chiefs2011;2756224]What did the 98 Chrome cost ya?[/QUOTE]

Crap, I don't remember. Probably like $100

I need some of these boxes. What's your source?

Cool beans sweet stuff from back in the day when card collecting was actually still FUN:)!

Grant if selling..Shoot me a PM on the Trufant 215/375

[QUOTE=detox;2756511]I need some of these boxes. What's your source?[/QUOTE]

I cannot say, I'm sorry.

[QUOTE=ronlabo;2756543]Cool beans sweet stuff from back in the day when card collecting was actually still FUN:)![/QUOTE]

Exactly. Through the midst of everything, this was an awesome break. I love going back to my roots. My favorite parts of the older cards too were the fact they depict a photo of the jersey the swatch was cut from. Companies took pride in what they did. Miss those days.

[QUOTE=saintsfan67;2756550]Grant if selling..Shoot me a PM on the Trufant 215/375[/QUOTE]

Sorry buddy, all this stuff is packed up already and I'll revisit them down the road of life :) Even the base is PC :D
