Default Ouch...$100 down the tubes...2005 2 box break

Got a box of 2005 UD Portraits and 2005 Sweet Spot, Figured if I pulled a Rodgers outta portraits, I would hol dthe Sweet SPot to open or sell later on...

2005 Portraits
8x10 Vernand Morency Auto...not my auction but this is what it looks like...a freakin' check mark!!!!





Braylan Edwards GU
JP Losman GU
Peyton Manning GU

Hoped the Sweet spot would be better





Charlie Frye GU
Antonio gates Sweet SPot helmet AUto
Roddy WHite RC Sweet SPot Helmet Auto #/100

so at least my autos weren't horrible,

When I first got started I bought a box of 2005 Bowman Chrome for $80-85 to chase a Rodgers... unless you have money to blow don't go chasing Rodgers because it's either Rodgers or garbage, no other option lol.

They $35 a box for 3 years, I would always put a few cases in the cart but never pulled the trigger because the SP's were tough to pull and the best non SP at the time was Gore.
