Fan Box Break: 2012 Topps Heritage Baseball Blaster Box

One of my favorite segments is Fan Box Breakers where you guys show off your pulls. Whether its blasters, packs, pack, box, so on. Thanks for sharing and today the shout out goes to Jammin JDcards!

Here is what Jammin JDcards says about this break:
2012 Heritage Blaster – I always like products that replicate the classics but get tired of them very quickly. This was a fun blaster to break and I got GREAT return value but I would not break another one. I was simply bored half way through the packs. The Bumgarner jersey was a cool pull and the Michael Morse is numbered to 63 with great value. There are a good amount of inserts and SP’s in the product which helps. But still a little boring, 5/10 for Design, 6/10 for quality, 8/10 for value.

Box Breakers: Rookies And Stars Football 2011

Here is one of FOUR Christmas present breaks I got to do early! I have broken this product before and did better. I would say this was the best break out of the four Christmas ones.. Here is the gallery of a box break!

Base Cards

Rookies

Jonathan Baldwin jersey..I dig the design but disappointed by the jersey number

Nice pull from the box

Nicks is numbered to 99

Why..Phil..why did you have to appear in my box!!

Finally this Powell pulls might pay off. He seems to be the future for the Jets. And I really dig these manu-autos.

Can't say this was a great break...but for the price that was paid for it..it works. The Ingram was nice and would be nicer if he got more playing time like he has more of recent. But I like multicolor patches.

I would rate this break a

3/5

Box Breakers (Christmas Edition): Totally Certified Football 2011

One of my favorite Panini releases in 2011 and something I did very well out of the first time around...Here is one of FOUR Christmas present breaks I got to do early! This break wasn't as much fun with not great player hits..but the real draw is the design of these cards...just stunning! Here is the gallery of a box break!

Each box guarantees 6 hits including one auto/jersey rookie card. Boxes run depending on where you buy them between $85-$100

Base Cards..some of the best designed!

The rookie jersey auto hit per box

Nice patch of Vincent Jackson if he can get out on the field...Mallet makes me want Brady to retire with 2 hits in one box

Shorts was a good pickup

This doesn't look like much in terms of pulls...but the value is there to almost pay for the box. The Mallet was one of the nicer hits for my Christmas present breaks.

I rate this break a:

3/5

Random Card Of The Day: Panini Black Friday Draft Day Cam Newton Jersey Card

Picked this up off from eBay last year during the 2011 Panini Black Friday craze! Paid a handsome $30 for the card...not something I normally do but I did. It was Cam Newton and a sweet looking Black Friday cards that was short printed!! How could I not have! Then came the sophomore slump this year.....but I believe he will be back strong next year.

eBay Pickup

Recently bought this lot off from eBay. Was a mixture of sports and came with 2 jersey cards. Most importantly some of the money paid for the lot went to a good cause so couldn't go wrong with it. I like to help out as many causes as I can whether in big or little ways. And the cards were just a bonus.

Handful of commons including Emmitt Smith, Troy Aikman, Marshall Faulk among others

Best basketball rookie

Liked finding the Seau, Alstott, and Bledsoe rookies

This was the best of the best. John Kruk, Dave Righetti, Harold Baines and Kirk Gibson rookies.

Not bad jersey card in Curry. And no thats not Sanchez..thats the infamous Clemens

Overall didn't think it was a bad buy. With some of the proceeds going to a great cause and the cost of the lot around $20 I would probably take the chance again. You never know what you can find. My favorite find out of this lot has to be the Kirk Gibson rookie.

What were your thoughts on my lot pickup? Do you take chances on these types of eBay lots sometimes?

Review: Spx Football 2012

It has been awhile since we here at Sport Card Collectors have busted a box of Upper Deck product..so here we go.

We didn't know how this product would turn out since it was done College style when it used to be an NFL product but we were pleasantly surprised and Upper Deck did a great job with it.

Now onto our full review:

 

 Packaging: Kinda of a dull design. Not eye catchy to most.

Base Cards: The design isn't bad. Reminds me of the Icons Football from '99 which I enjoyed. But the downside is some of the photography used was a little blurry. And its not just my pictures :)

Rookie Cards: I like how they made it different than the base. I like when rookie cards stand out on the product and all of the rookies are numbered. And it stays true to the Spx product and how its always been.

Inserts: Inserts in this product were not plentiful. But the ones we got really are eye catching. The acetate Slot cards are spectacular. Gotta appreciate good cards printed on plastic. The inserts below the acetate are rookie inserts that bring us back to Spx of the late 90's. They are Rookie Finites which the Weedon is the /50 parallel called Radiance.

Memorabilia: Upper Deck does a great job with their memorabilia cards. Well designed and layout.

 

Autographs: Looks like Upper Deck spent a lot of time with using Spx as a rookie laden product. We didn't hit it big with any of our rookie autos, but Quinton Coples could turn out well from what he showed us in the preseason anyways. With one autograph jersey per box that also helps make this product very attractive.

Overall: A good looking product. I don't feel we got a great value from it since all of our hits were not great. But you can hit it big with this product if you pull the right players and we have seen breaks where that has happened.
