Austin Powers closing on GI Joe?

SpartanWarrior · 08-02-2022, 12:14 AM

Anyone see the break that was for 2014 Prizm and the box had austin powers instead?

Deadshot · 08-02-2022, 05:00 AM

Even worse, it was actually a 2012 Prizm box!

Those fat bastards

What’s really funny? That those boxes are that expensive to begin with.

Nomad · 08-02-2022, 09:46 AM

At least the dude has a sense of humor about it. My new favorite breaker.

Strangely, I have had an Awesome Powers Bonds from my old collecting days floating around on my dash board for a couple days.

Sense of humor? He was half a second away from crying or from breaking something. Literally.

He held that pose for a good 15 seconds instead of breaking #@#@#@#@. Grace under fire so far, but let me watch the rest.

Archangel1775 · 08-02-2022, 11:49 AM

Best to refund the money. Not sure how the Spurs, Blazers and Pelicans feel about 2009

I finally figured why you like the players you do. Freezing up and not doing anything in pressure situations to you is applaudable.

I know the breaker was immediately refunded and this took everyone involved by surprise. I did not sell the box but know who did (box was purchased at the last Cincinnati show) - it 100% looked legit/factory sealed sitting on the shelf but I'm by no means an expert here.

What would Steve Hart say?

crash prevents opponent forward movement on a third of the floor. If he appears awkward doing that, I'll accept it.

That reads like some TCG card.

Archangel1775 · 08-02-2022, 12:18 PM

Another reason breakers should show close ups of all sides of the box and the seams

Scary stuff. Guess someone got their hands on some Panini wrap and a wrapping machine.

HeyRelaxGuy · 08-02-2022, 01:20 PM

Yeah baby, YEAH!

Kobe101 · 08-02-2022, 01:22 PM

Resealed boxes is probably more common than people think. Pretty simple scam

Nomad · 08-02-2022, 10:16 PM

Resealed, resold, trust out cold.

jetta20162 · 08-02-2022, 11:22 PM

It remembers me on the guy who bought an expensive box of pokemon which was authenticated by BBCE and hat GI Joe packs inside

jdandns · 08-02-2022, 11:32 PM

I cracked a few boxes of those Austin Powers cards back then. Hopefully, they at least pulled the "License to Swing" card, so it's not a total loss.
It had a little area on it where one could paste a picture of themselves.
Still have mine, and it's still valid...
