Cyber Week Breaks: Day 6 - Some Racing Parallels and More UFC Chrome

Today I opened a couple packs of 2016 Panini Certified Racing and 8 more packs of 2017 Topps UFC Chrome.

Among the racing cards I found a Dale Earnhardt Jr. base card, a Mirror Red parallel of Junior Johnson's Gold Team insert card, and a Mirror Blue parallel of Rico Abreu's base card. The Johnson card is numbered # 09 / 75 and the Abreu card is numbered # 27 / 50.

The 8 packs of Topps Chrome yielded a couple of inserts, a Topps Fire card of Georges St-Pierre and a Tier One insert of Paige VanZant. There were also two parallels of note in the packs, a one-per-box X-Fractor of Nick Diaz and a Gold Refractor of Daniel Cormier. The X-Fractors aren't numbered, but they are seeded at the same rate as the # / 75 Blue Wave Refractors. The Cormier Gold Refractor is numbered # 29 / 50. I also got a couple of regular Refractors, which fall at a rate of 8 per box.

Tomorrow there will be more UFC, followed on Day 8 by a box of 2017 Topps High Tek Baseball. Right now I am locked in an eBay dispute that isn't going to be resolved through communication with the seller, but I have to wait until the 16th to escalate the case for further resolution. I don't want the seller to take a loss, but I am not willing to take a loss either, especially when they charged $10 for shipping and used inadequate packaging methods. You can have hundreds or thousands of eBay transactions go right, but the ones you remember are the ones that go wrong.
