Like you said, they would be awesome to find in a dimebox or a trade package, but paying to bust packs of them just doesn't feel worthwhile. There were some nice pulls in my case, but I wish there was more to the product. It feels like a tone-deaf Topps High Tek.<br /><br />Cousins definitely has some issues he needs to work out, and hanging out with Matt Barnes doesn't seem like a step in the right direction. Maybe playing for the Kings would drive anyone over the edge.<br /><br />I would trade the Gasol card. I am not sure about giving up the rookies, though. I don't buy a lot of basketball cards, so those might be some of the only cards I have featuring those players.RAZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17519699812373438878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6974740724487938002.post-78183820531586742122016-12-28T01:40:00.101-07:002016-12-28T01:40:00.101-07:00They reloaded the deal on this product several tim...They reloaded the deal on this product several times throughout the day, so they must have sold through a lot of it. I imagine people busted boxes until they got to an autograph, then sold the rest.<br /><br />The David Robinson is pretty cool. He was always up there as far as my respect level. He and Olajuwon had some great battles.RAZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17519699812373438878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6974740724487938002.post-16912526553311648342016-12-24T23:18:42.362-07:002016-12-24T23:18:42.362-07:00These seem like cards lots of people would want ow...These seem like cards lots of people would want own but very few would want to buy. Not a bad break though. Congrats on the Russell auto, golden Admiral, and red Grant Hill.<br /><br />It's a bummer Boogie can't keep it together off the court, because he is an otherworldly talent on it.<br /><br />I have a page dedicated to Pau as a Bull, so I can take him off your hands when we trade if you want. Also interested in Porzingis & Kaminsky & possibly some other rookies if they're available.Twitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12536763054977401389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6974740724487938002.post-14769909050022490872016-12-23T19:52:28.469-07:002016-12-23T19:52:28.469-07:00This explains why I have been seeing so many 3-5 b...This explains why I have been seeing so many 3-5 box lots of this stuff everywhere over the last couple of weeks. Obviously other folks bought cases and after a couple of disappointing boxes, they decided to sell the rest to try and recoup some of their money.<br /><br />After reading your review, I don't think I will ever be buying any of this stuff, but I have to admit that the gold David Robinson parallel is pretty awesome.Jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13043468725408104535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6974740724487938002.post-42766892352941376702016-12-22T19:51:55.602-07:002016-12-22T19:51:55.602-07:00It really wasn't a bad break.

Even with a steep discount and a pretty big hit, I still probably barely broke even. It could really use some more variety in the card design, too.RAZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17519699812373438878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6974740724487938002.post-41158109335061095952016-12-22T19:49:13.786-07:002016-12-22T19:49:13.786-07:00I've got various odds and ends I've been m...I've got various odds and ends I've been meaning to send your way for ages.

Think he lost it now but the Raptors got to the Eastern Conference Finals largely because of him. I don't have any cards from this set yet. I won't do $75 on a box that gives that few cards so I will probably just buy a single on COMC just to have the set represented in my collection, usually whatever is cheapest as is my normal way of doing things.

I just got caught up in the excitement of having a case to bust.

I've never busted a case before. It's tempting, but I still haven't pulled the trigger. Hopefully you can recoup some of your money back.
