Final Thoughts:
This was my first ever Ace Authentic box break. I was pleased with my results...but much of the fun factor of busting this box was taken away after I opened the first pack. The actual box looked compressed and each pack I opened had cards that were either partially chipped or had creases on the corner. With the exception of the Federer GU, every GU/Auto I pulled has a crease on the corners or back corners. This was highly disappointing and devalues the break. This is not the fault of Ace Authentic though so I did not factor this into the grade. I got a special price on this box from ebay. Usual retail is $80-100. I really was aiming to get a Sharapova or Agassi autograph or Jersey card since I knew there was five hits per box. Hard to say which card has the most value, but the Federer is my favorite and a likely candidate for best value. In future sets, I hope Ace Authentic decides to include more parallels and an insert subset. I only got one parallel in this box. If I can get another box for $30-35, I will likely do another break of this set.
