Is it that the deals aren't great, or that the products from the last three years either hot and dried up quick or were so bad that no black friday deal would make them worth buying?

I mean, I see some Marvel boxes priced pretty cheap but I have ZERO interest in breaking those products even at $30 or $40 a box. When they get down to KSW prices... Sure, why not? A little disappointed BOs only DC deal was Epic Battles. Picked it up from BO last year for less. Was hoping for Supervillians or Justice League. Will be picking at least one of those up somewhere.

I agree..a lot of the stuff that was offered this year was cheap, but it was so bla that I didn't even want to waste my money no matter the cost. Even with the Hobbit product is quite bad from a resell stand point, and apparently BO was sitting on mountains of cases. I know were all just buying for the sketch card possibility and the way Star Wars has been recently, I don't blame ya one bit..but I too was dissapointed this year.

I know this is the time of year where Blowout "cleans house" and dumps all the garbage products, and that is exactly what this is...it's a garbage dump of low end products that aren't moving or were gigantic busts...I thought DA/Steel were worse though.

Yeah first Black Friday I didn't buy anything from BO or the "other site". Nothing really caught my eye other than the Hobbit boxes and yes that was mostly for the opportunity to pick up a sketch card in addition to an auto. I also buy sports cards though last couple of years have gone more for non-sports. There was nothing on the sports side that I felt was that great a product, or that great a deal

Looking at the artist list for 5 Armies, I am very encouraged. That artist list is fantastic. There are also a bunch of redemptions left...wishing I would have snagged a second case when I had the chance.

Other site will still have stuff going on til noon tomorrow. Although, assume that what will be popping is Castle 3/4, Ant-man and Psych 5-8.

Generally I just view BF stuff as a cheap fun rip of things I collect anyways.

Are there still any big hits left in 2013 Leaf Ace Authentic Grand Slam Tennis? 10 autos per box with an enormous CL. Federer, Nadal, Kournikova, etc. etc.

I'm tempted to jump in at a half a case but can't decide...$100 is a pretty good deal. Anyone else get in on this? I haven't seen it this low anywhere since release...

I'm been considering it but I remember there was a member on here who had a problem with this site's supply of fleer retro, right?

No, I doubt it. They are good to go on that stock. Would be surprised it there were any issues with an order...

I grabbed the allocated 5 boxes. Hard to find a better deal then that on this stuff. Even my UD direct distributors can't come close to that price so what the heck...

Looks like it'll be a fun break. I held back, hoping they have some of those $30-type decent hobby boxes I can grab multiple of like last year.

Yea, def the best deal so far. I have been keeping tabs on these sales all week and they have been very disappointing outside of this sale...

Such a bad product. Soooo many bad breaks...

Is this a wholesale or retail price?

Distributors have had that at $33 per box and less for case for a over month now...I think it will go lower.
