1st Case Purchase Ever

Wiscollector · 12-17-2007, 10:18 PM

I've been an intermediate collector for the last 3 years, started buying packs, that slowly turned into boxes, today I ventured into unchartered territory by purchasing my first case. 1 case of 2007 BDPP should be on my door step Thursday, wish me some luck. Matt Laporta style would be nice.

Good luck with the break!

Ive never done a case before but I am very tempted. Maybe after all the christmas bills are paid off. Good luck with your break.

Pretty good so far. Good luck on the rest of your pulls.

Wiscollector · 12-20-2007, 03:30 PM

Well the last 4 were pretty below average
I finally pulled some Laporta Chrome 3 to be exact.

Autos were less than stellar

Beavan refractor auto
Luebke
michael main refractor auto
Kulbacki xfractor auto

No noteable FY parallels

Overall
11 Autos 1 Gold, 2 Xfractor, 3 refractors 5 base
23 Refractors (Joba, Jarrod Parker)
7 or 8 X fractors (Braun, Upton)
5 or 6 Blue Refractors

I managed to stay away from the green bordered refractors.

Unfortunately I think I just opened up pandora's box by opening a case, opening a box or 2 at time will never be the same.

I think I'm going to hold on to these until Spring Training and see what happens then, don't have the time to list and send out with Holiday Travels and stuff.
