My Sealed Boxes Collection

realreodeal · 03-16-2013, 12:58 PM

Lately there have been a couple threads about collecting sealed boxes. Well I have been collecting sealed boxes for a while. Here are 21 of mine. Black Jack, hahaha

I am only collecting Upper Deck and Topps and I will open them with my son once I put together 100 Boxes.

For those that are thinking about doing the same, I wish them luck and hope they have a little something called patience because it is hard not to open them up.

Reminds of the good ol days of Topps and UD. Now I'm sad.

Cazmanaz · 03-16-2013, 01:04 PM

You've got a nice collection there already! Congrats!

You can make it to 100!

armyatc22 · 03-16-2013, 01:05 PM

Hopefully Some nice stuff is in them for you and your son and not any expired redemptions

If you are tempted to open any of those, DO NOT OPEN 03/04 BASKETBALL!

Especially the Bowman Rookies and Stars Boxes.

no way i could ever keep that stuff unopened..

just too tempting

Thanks Everyone.

@Vintage Collector, I am not going to open any of these until I hit 100 boxes but why did you say not to open 03/04 and especially not the Bowman Rookies and Stars boxes?

pingbling23 · 03-16-2013, 01:10 PM

03-04, you picked a good year. a very strong draft class, these could be worth alot down the road. theres no way i couldnt open them lol.

bigcwd2000 · 03-16-2013, 01:55 PM

Awesome! That is going to be such a fun break!

imapippenfan · 03-16-2013, 02:08 PM

You are 19 boxes ahead of me, lol... I only have two.

Thanks for sharing, it gives me something to shoot for (well, not buying 03/04 at this point).

ivecenanuff · 03-16-2013, 03:09 PM

Those boxes were one of the best boxes to open that year. They will be worth alot more than the $200-250 they are currently worth one day.

No lebron auto but all others are in there.

Also lebron has refractors, x fractors and color.

kenji003 · 03-16-2013, 03:21 PM

wow kind of cool to collect sealed boxes. but i cant make it because i want to open every single box i have

realreodeal · 03-17-2013, 11:52 AM

Thanks guys. If anyone out there has any Upper Deck or Topps boxes available I would be happy to try and work out a deal.

Gbulldogs1010 · 03-17-2013, 12:18 PM

We'll if you ever decided to add fleer, skybox or flair LMK as I could hit you up with 30 boxes on the spot right now. All sealed from the late 90s

bullrose23 · 03-17-2013, 02:30 PM

wow , how do you have the willpower not to open
i cant make it home sometimes ,lol im opening in the car
good luck on the 100

tristan20 · 03-17-2013, 03:05 PM

Just think about it, there might be a few monster cards in there!

BUST BUST!

Hahaha. Peer pressure doesn't affect me. I have no problem waiting a few more years until I get to 100. But yea, I sure hope I have some good pulls in there. Most of those are mid to higher end boxes so there is a good possibility some big hits will be had.

bmf · 03-17-2013, 03:36 PM

nice collection you got going there!

gottagitdemjs · 03-17-2013, 03:45 PM

You have will-power sir. Hope you don't get crushed by any redemptions.

Thanks. Most of the boxes were purchased after the redemptions would have expired so its not like I can blame myself for holding too long. Plus I don't think many of the big hits were redemptions in much of what I have. Also the Chrome stuff has a lot of value in the refractors if I pull the right cards.

Yes, I am mostly looking at 2003-04 thru 2009-10 stuff. Thanks though.

Gbulldogs1010 · 03-17-2013, 04:20 PM

Oh. Ok that's fine

NJNets24 · 03-17-2013, 04:45 PM

It's refreshing to see someone doing something that proves this is still a hobby. You have plenty of 03-04 boxes that I'm sure you could sell for a profit, but it seems the time spent with your son means more. It's rare to see that these days, and I hope you guys have an awesome time busting those.
