So this is how folks become wax addicts...

I'll try to keep this brief. I rarely buy wax. I bought my last box two years ago, because I just can't afford it (college). Anyway, my brother and I decided to splurge on some BF and Cyber Monday boxes to have some fun.

I grabbed (4) 2013-14 Crusade Basketball, and he grabbed (2) as well.
I also did (1) 2010 Topps Chrome Football and (1) 2014 Topps Strata Football to qualify for BO's free shipping.

I ordered (4) boxes of Flair Showcase from a competitor for 30 bucks a pop on Cyber Monday.

Fast forward to me getting home from Christmas Break. I pulled the following:

SHOWCASE
Steve Young auto
Odell auto
Marino PMG /100
Jimmy G auto and PMG /25
2 #'d Teddy rookies
2 #'d Bortles rookies

CRUSADE
No low-numbered crusades, but red and teal of Kobe, Russ, Steph etc.
Kyrie auto redemption
Giannis sticker rookie auto "apprentice"
STEPH CURRY on-card "majestic" auto /10!!!!!
(My brother also pulled a Kawhi sticker auto from his two boxes)

CHROME
Hernandez auto. Yikes.

STRATA
This is where it got out of control. I pulled a Teddy blue Clear Cut RPA to /75. As a Vikings fan and Teddy believer, I couldn't believe my luck.
Last but certainly not least, in my last, thickest pack, I pulled a Derek Carr Shadowbox Rivet RPA 5/5. Believe it. Though I wouldn't blame you if you didn't, because I certainly wouldn't.


I'm not looking to move any of these cards at the moment, but if anyone wants to pay an extravagant price on the Carr, I might listen. I figure that card could almost pay for all my boxes :D:D:D


Thanks for reading, and I'll try to post some pictures later!!!!

I bought four boxes of wax in 2012 and got a Robert Turbin auto in every box. That was the end of my wax addiction. :)

Nice pulls. I was skimming and saw "rivet" and "Steph" and knew I had to read the whole thing.

Alright guys, I posted all of the best hits minus the Kyrie redemption! Enjoy, and Merry Christmas!!!!!

You hit on Teddy and Carr in the same Strata box?

Play the Powerball.

That was my exact thought. Haha, thanks for looking

I did very well myself (odds wise) in 2014 Strata Football. Out of 3 hobby boxes (bought at different times at different retailers) I hit 2 rivets. One was /5 Jace Amaro the other was 1/1 Nike Swoosh Jarvis Landry. I might try another box now, haha. Congrats tc.
