Worst box of allen and ginter contest

ecupittfan · 08-06-2007, 08:46 PM

Can you beat this.
Box Topper was the dominican republican national pride-Crap
Not a single no #mini or bazooka,
2 crap flag cards
NO snake or emperor mini
NO autos again
My game used were awesome: Mike Piazza and Miguel Tejada Both crap
Wow, there went $90 down the drain

I did have another box and got a pujols bat box topper #'d/25 and a iwamura auto

5 boxes and only 2 autos, kind of sucks. What was even worse was both autos are of akinori iwamura. How the F does that happen.

you have to open multiple cases of this stuff to be sure you get the goods. ask brent.

I think the key was MULTIPLE cases. I haven't seen many people here just breaking a box or 2 and getting lucky. I was one of the one box unfortunates. However, 1 guy on this board pulled a wood mini-Juan Pierre 1/1from a retail box? I think A&G stinks... my 2 cents.

I can beat you.

One of my boxes had NO hit (meaning no auto or no relic), no flags, no snake or emperors, and only 2 black minis. I even had one pack with no Dick Perez card in there (not that I really cared).

Guys, the autos only come at a rate of 2-3 per case so not getting one in a single box really isn't all that uncommon.
The snake cards are 1 per case and sometimes not even that.
The Emperor cards are about 2-3 per case.
If you want to be assured of pulling those things then you will need to buy a case. Otherwise, you are rolling the dice.

Are the emporer cards worth anything? I got two minis in my retail box and just figured I would lump them with the rest of the minis in a lot when I get more.

Emperor cards are probably about $5 per now
