Sport Kings 3 Box Break (very disappointing)

Brad · 11-01-2007, 10:53 AM

Here were the "hits":

Box 1:

Martin Brodeur Gold Single Memorabilia (2-color)
Karch Kiraly Silver Autograph
Willie Shoemaker Silver Single Memorabilia

Box 2:

Karch Kiraly Gold Autograph Memorabilia
Pete Rose Silver Double Memorabilia
Reggie White Silver Single Memorabilia

Box 3:

Lemieux / Clemente Silver Citiyscapes Dual Memorabilia
Magic Johnson Silver Autograph
Nigel Mansell Silver Single Memorabilia

Seriously, 2 of the 3 autos are Karch Kiraly? C'mon! I'm tempted to get another 3 boxes since these were so bad. Pretty much everything will be on eBay shortly.

Update: everything on eBay now except for the Magic auto which I'm keeping for the PC.

Man, that was brutal. Sorry to hear that. I think I'd monitor more case breaks before buying more.

What kills me about this is in their email updates they talked about the hand collation. Wouldn't it make sense then that you wouldn't get 2 of these? Or maybe the hand collation is per box but then if you get a 3 box case it is fair game. You may do OK with the Hat/Auto.

I'm anxious to see how the first 3 day auctions go. With the low issue numbers we'll hopefully be surprised.

I have 3 slots and 1 box coming but I couldn't resist bidding on the Secretariat 1933 parallel, it's nice looking.

Best Always,
Vinny

Buying, selling, prospecting, gambling, etc., are parts of the fun. I will say that being older than many here I just can’t justify sticker autos. Give me a nice on-card auto and I feel that little connection to the signer.
