Opened a 2006 Holiday 20 set case and the following boxes: 2002 series 1, 2002 series 2, 2005 series 1, 2005 signature series, 2006 series 2, 2007 series 1, 2007 Gold Edition (2 boxes), and 2008 signature series.

Over all it was a fun break, picked up several cards I needed and did pretty well for single boxes.

Best Pulls were

2008 SS: Mary Riley Red Back and Enya Flack Pink Foil /50

2007 Series 1: Jessica Burciaga Auto, Leilene Stuecklin Gold Foil Unnumbered, and Sara Underwood Auto'd Box Topper


2007 Gold Edition (2 boxes): Cindy Margolis and Claudia Jordan Autos and Tiffany Selby Auto Kiss /50


2006 Series 2: Trishelle Cannatella Auto and Shamron Moore Bikini Swatch

2006 Holiday Series: Autos: Lisa Gleave, Candice Michelle X 3, Mary Riley, Aubrie Lemon X 3, Holly Huddleston X 2, Holly Madison X 3, Bridget Marquardt X 4. Only auto I didn't get out of the 15 was Molly Shea, but already had it. Holiday Swatch Cards: Mary Riley and Carrie Stroup. Holiday Kisses: Cassandra Lynn, Krisi Ballentine, Tina Jordan, Mary Riley, and Yancy Todd Auto/Kiss 4/10. Very happy with this case getting 3 Candice Michelle this time compared to 1 the last time along with a really nice looking Holly Madison Signature. Very happy with Mary Riley and Carrie Stroup Swatches and was glad I didn't get duplicates like last time same with the kisses, glad I got 5 different ones especially the Mary Riley and Yancy Todd auto'd kiss. Wish I would have gotten a Dual Kiss topper instead of another Octograph, but at least it's something I can trade.

Just a warning for anyone looking to buy an unopened set. If you are hoping to get a swatch, your chances may be slim due to the fact I am pretty sure that benchwarmer packaged the sets the same way where the swatch falls in the exact same place in each case. After finding my first one, I opened up the second case and went straight to that set and it was also the swatch.


2005 Signature Series: Mary Riley Blue Ink Auto, Nikki Zeno Dealer Auto, and Lena Yada Purple Foil /30.

2005 Series 1: Nothing exciting, just duplicate autos from what I already had.

2002 Series 2: Katie Lohmann Auto box Topper

2002 Series 1: Katie Lohmann and Camille Anderson Autos

How much was your holiday case? Do the 24 card base sets have much resell value?

I got it from PGH for $275 Delivered and no, the sets don't have any real resale value. Probably would be better off selling them at a rummage sale. I figure they made around 9600 sets and "Book Value" is $5 on an opened set. So when buying the product you really are paying for 2 hits per set which is around $7 per auto/swatch/kiss/hottie

I figure that every other case should yield a super rare, auto/kiss, or auto/swatch if my calculation on number produced is correct or close. (based off of the odds of Super Rares being 1:80 sets and there being 120 total)

I like the signer line up with Aubrie, Lisa, Candice, Mary, Holly H, Molly, Holly M, & Bridget. The kiss cards are kind of a weaker line up, but Mary and Candice are in it. The swatch line up is excellent. It's a fun bust and some nice autos. Can't get a complete set of 16 from it though seeing they never released the Kendra and later replaced it with Michelle Baena which is only found in 2006 series 2.

No, there are 28 autos and only 5 holiday hotties.

Also there is only one multi-signed case topper, the others are kisses. I have seen one signed dual kiss topper but only signed by Molly Shea.
