(3) 2013 Topps Finest Case Break Gold Puig + more!

frozenntimesports · 10-17-2013, 07:27 PM

Long story short, since my last major break I've been living out of a suitcase and I just got back to the house today (anyone I owe cards to they are in the mail or will be in the morning). A one night trip turned into a four week hell-trip, but I came home and I had three cases waiting for me.

I was going to hold them, but the degenerate gamble in me was unable to do so, and I ripped away and I think I will wind up doing very well when these finally get to market.

I haven't scanned everything. Frankly I planned to but I'm in brain stew mode right now after the mayhem I've seen this last week.

If you want anything, send me a PM with an offer, tomorrow I will price them out officially and put on the B/S/T section and prepare for eBay.

I'm into these cases for $1968, so I think I will come out ahead when the smaller stuff processes through COMC, but that is only because I hit the right players. I can see how someone could get crushed on this case and I would be hesitant to rip again at any more than $500 per case and unless one of these guys goes Trout (unlikely since Machado, Profar, Myers and Gattis already have probably peaked) this case doesn't seem to have any real momentum to it. I suppose Alfredo Marte could be a stud player, but its hard to visualize him carrying a case the way Trout did when 2011 Finest went from $475 a case to nearly $1200 in a month.

I've seen quite a few video breaks of this and every single Manny has the exact same damage in the exact same place. Obviously something went wrong with the production process.

The damage of the machado is the ball leaving his hand, not actual damage

Sushiyoshi · 10-17-2013, 08:12 PM

Nice cases!

Wheeler is OK, the problem was the plastic sleeve it is in. Its going in my PC anyway so no big deal.

The Machado has that same stupid indent they all seem to have. It isn't that bad on this one but I'll have to stick it in the description to avoid an eBay chargeback.

I'll have this stuff priced out by mid-day tomorrow and all emails will be replied to by then.

Night all.

Cregermax · 10-17-2013, 10:47 PM

Avisail Garcia sucks!!! But I'll buy his cards to do u a favor.

slugger82685 · 10-18-2013, 01:12 AM

yes its the ball, not a nick on the card

Ah, stupid Topps. How does that get missed in editing? The breaker I saw busting them kept saying that it was a dent and when I saw this one up close in the same spot it sure does look like a dent or nick. This makes sense now why they all have it.

Big hit on the Shelby Atomic auto! Solid break!

I didn't realize it at first. I thought it looked like a miscut x-fractor and then I was like... this is numbered to five... nice.

The Profar atomic came in the same box. All the big hits came out of one case.
