You nailed it! I do the same thing. I’ve picked up some killer cards lately and haven’t had to go through the motions of reselling a bunch of group break garbage on eBay.

That's okay. The fact that times and things change are inevitable. Just time for me to get off the ride.
When the other passengers are flippers, pumpers and degenerate gamblers, it’s easy to see why someone would want to get off the train.

I was watching a break today (spent $30 for the Jazz spot), first card pulled was a really beautiful looking Acuna. The full break was Acuna, Rizzo, Carlson, Ortiz, and Tucker. These are great looking cards and worth a slight gamble. I paid $11 for the Bieber spot in a break tomorrow. Assuming I don’t become addicted, that’ll be it for me. Haha

Like the album Arena, live is excellent for Duran collectors.

Thanks for the info!

Hit in an eBay break today. Spot went unpaid. Breaker offered it up before the break but no-one took it.

Against my better judgment I ordered 4 boxes total of Dynasty. After watching hours of case breaks I was not feeling good about the decision and was thinking it was going to take a long time to get over the losses....

The order of two from Topps showed up yesterday and I opened one box......




Talk about a rollercoaster......

I love how the breaker is wearing black surgical gloves to open ENCASED cards.

Decided to take the plunge and crack open 2 of the 4 boxes I got.

Very happy with both pulls considering how bad of a bloodbath this product can be at these prices.

Obviously not a Cubs fan, but this should be very easy to move locally, especially with a patch like that.


And a jersey number match Wander to finish it off.

I’m not sure any other product offers a greater product tease.

Opening a pack and seeing a rookie logo and a mariners hat and yielding a fair colored complexion - Cal Raleigh.

Or

Opening a pack and seeing an Angels hat with no rookie logo and pulling a……..Jared Walsh.

The best kind (or worst kind) of a kick to the peanuts.

I though you were kidding. I had to do an eBay search and laughed so much that Walsh was in it. Wow! He does not belong in Dynasty, he belongs in Topps Big League or Panini
