First Star Wars break ever... HUGE HIT

HPZ · 04-15-2018, 02:48 PM

So yesterday I arranged to buy a case of 2017 Tek from a local card shop for 425. The guy I spoke to apparently didn't tell someone else who was working, and a customer came in and bought two of the boxes from the case.

So, instead, they offered to sell me a caseof Black and White for the same price... I was a little iffy because I've seen some rough breaks, but decided to spring on it, and I hit something far beyond my wildest imagination. I've never broken any Star Wars products before. 4 boxes in and...

I'm speechless. Here are the 2 sketches and the other autos were from the other 3 boxes.

Is there any point in opening the other boxes? I've never seen a case of this with more than one big name auto.

The card will probably be up for sale, possibly could do a partial trade but I'm only interested in Harry Potter cards for a potential trade here. Feel free to PM me. I seriously saw this card and almost lost my mind.

I managed to snag 3 boxes of Jedi Legacy on eBay for 120, but after that... I think I should stop while I’m ahead. Maybe use this card to add to my Harry Potter collection.

This. You're done for life now. That is amazing and so glad that worked in your favor. I know you were getting advice on what to break, karma was looking out for you. I know opinions were mixed before Black and White came out, but I think a lot of people have liked it. Big hits are rare in it, but you hit the motherload.

Wow, that's amazing. Congrats. People aren't kidding when they say you will literally never top that. Ford autos are about as good as it gets when it comes to ripping Star Wars.

Very cool

I'm a little bummed I've peaked already! I think everyone is right, I've hit my peak after being in this hobby for a little over two months.

That was quite the feeling seeing it in the pack. I saw the dual auto and was already excited (thought it'd be one of the duals of the pilots) and then I see Harrison Ford and lost my mind.

I would consider keeping it!!

deeceman · 04-16-2018, 08:39 AM

Congrats! Unreal pull. I’ve been doing this a long time and have opened 100s of Star Wars cases and I’ve definitely hit some biggies but that one is just amazing.

Kio80 · 04-16-2018, 08:45 AM

Nice pull

That’s definitely one of the best i’ve seen. Wow!

Sick dual autos. Congrats!

Why did this dude get banned?

ForceChange77 · 07-05-2019, 02:05 PM

Why does it matter? I believe he went crazy over some trade involving Harry Potter cards.

I was just looking up breaks if this set and saw the OP was banned. Just curious. Human nature I suppose

pjs2000 · 07-06-2019, 09:59 AM

ForceChange77 and floater,

This guy is an absolute scumbag. I offered to buy the Darth Vader sketch he had posted, did so and paid him, then he tried to stiff me by not sending the card. He made up every excuse in world about why he didn't have the proof it was shipped. This guy is bad news. Thankfully I was able to get a refund after threatening to take the issue to the authorities for mail and wire fraud.
