Today's post comes from Chris at Nachos Grande, I buy into his box breaks, or I used to. I still try but being as Luis Robert is on the team I collect, I get beat out by people, I assume, looking to flip his cards. I get notifications on my Facebook when he posts a new box so I don't miss them but I don't get notifications to my phone. I don't for any of the social media because I don't feel the need to be on them all the time. So by the time I get on Facebook and see there was a post, the White Sox are usually gone. I'll still be able to buy in on the older sets but those I'm more picky on just because some of them I don't really need as I already have them. Since I wasn't able to buy in on the last few boxes, I went ahead and had him ship what else I had left.
I don't blame Chris for what happened, it's good for him because he has a better chance of filling his breaks so he doesn't lose money. Lose money and he can't do the breaks. It is what it is. Hopefully these flippers won't be around long and things can go back to normal.
The Mike Caruso on the left completes the set for me but that's because there's only 2 cards. The other being Frank Thomas which I also got from the break but I already had that one. I did however, pull the Thomas on the right which is the Radiance parallel numbered to 100 and that scans so much better than the base. It is a pretty nice card. All the Thomas' in this post give me 542 cards of his.
Thanks again Chris, hope to get in some more breaks in 2021.
Thanks for joining in the breaks - here's to another fun year ahead!
ReplyDeleteThat Thomas Radiance is sweet! Gotta love those low #'d cards from the 90's... especially when they're guys like The Big Hurt.
