Well that Ry will is nice and that Omarion Hampton is solid as well. They did beat you up on the Kahunas though lol.

Breakers Delight was loaded and Hobby was poop last year.

BUB has excellent box/pack art, I'll give them that.

For autograph hunters, BUB offers a better price point than BUC per auto:

BUB $240 per box / 4 autos = $60 per autograph
BUC $140 per box / 2 autos = $70 per autograph*

I'd rather have BUC than BUB, a $10 discount per auto doesn't move the needle enough but BUB gives you more chances to hit per dollar spent.

*BUC Mega is $60 per box / 1 auto and is a good bet.

Took part in 16 cases of breaks and didn't get a single auto. BUC beat the tar out of me this year, and the universe is not smiling upon me. I'm battered and bruised.

I've gotten a low cost single here and there but I'm laying down to die.

Sorry to hear it man. Breaks are too risky. Buy wax.

Also, BUC >>> BUB.

Sadly being in more remote Canada means affordable wax is forever out of reach. But singles I am scooping up, and will go nuts when prices fade soon.

And yes, BUB is truly second class to BUC, our savior.

Were prices posted?

I'm highly skeptical of Best this year. Last year it was great - but I don't trust that Best will be as loaded in terms of the autograph checklist this year.

Lmao. Tell me about it. I went back in and did a hobby and jumbo.

That's 3 reds, a Black /10 and a super.

Also hit a Nicolas vattiato gold auto, and jarquez hunter gold auto.

Pretty damn good run right there.

BD cases are a corruption of BUC morals if you ask me.

Lol, they are. But when you can get them for around 220 a box it really is tough to pass up.

Jumbo case #1 was a mixed bag. Think I did well, but not earth shattering. Gold heavy. No Kahuna, guessing they aren’t a guarantee in Jumbo?

That Ryan Williams is pretty huge. And as one of the bigger Klubnik fans I'm all over that silver on card auto.

Bond will probably be a day two draft pick, Sampson would be a big name if it weren't for Jeanty even if his draft stock doesn't match the production. Nussmeier is a decent get and Maiava just took over the USC job so there could be something there.

I'm drooling over the Burden.

Hail2TheVictors · 12-04-2024, 01:13 PM

Missing a Kahuna isn't a big deal. The checklist is poor, and they aren't selling that well at all. I see a lot of breakers get all excited about a Kahuna - do people realize what they sell for?

Above average case. The issue with jumbo is the price - there is no way jumbo boxes/cases should be that much more expensive than hobby. I know it was a group break, so this doesn't really impact you.

Majority of cases will be worse than this one, IMO.

The BD product is essentially Ryan Day. Looks all nice and shiny, people get excited over it....then it disappoints.

Kahuna has gone the same path as downtowns. They’re not as short printed as they used to be, but people still act like they are.

So 86% of boxes are winners? Sounds amazing!

I would agree. Last year, they were atrocious.

Another mixed bag on the Jumbo. Great case for Tennessee. Did get a Kahuna this time, just in time for news of his entry into the portal lol. Gold Jeanty was nice though.
