I hit a "HOT" box ! I've bought 3 boxes so far, but I didn't anything remotely close to this one. This was a 20ct. hobby box. I paid $139.50 for a 2 box lot form Ebay. I didn't keep track of the other box and added the stuff to my set. Every pack had a patch card inside of this box !! I did get 2 dupes, but after such an incredible catch, I've decided to try & put the entire set together since I now have over half of the patches. Here's what I got :



Box Toppers
1962 Cubs
1966 Cardinals

Alex Rodriguez
Miguel Tejada
Jim Thome
Torii Hunter

Hall of Famers
Ted Williams
Rollie Fingers

For some reason the site is down & the pic is unavailable right now.

nice break I actually did the same thing about a week ago, I like the patch cards a lot. From what I have heard the UD Patch boxes are loaded and you actually have a pretty good chance for a hot box...

im gonan hvae to pick up myself some packs... maybe ill get lucky...

sUre wish I could afford stuff like that.
If you are going to work on the set, I picked up Bonds and A-Rod patches on ebay for $3-4 each. It shouldn't be too hard of a set to work on at those prices.

jayyay, I think that I heard or read somewhere that the "hot" boxes run somewhere around 1 per case.

molina, credit cards are a wonderful thing ! (until the bill comes)

Rick - I have some of the patches, including the Schilling Patch/Auto....PM and I'll give you a list....

the odds are 1:16 boxes which is pretty good odds cause the boxes are a pretty reasonable price...
