Final Thoughts:
This was my first ever break of Benchwarmer cards. As expected, I pulled many beautiful models. The boxes were fun to break but busting 12 boxes did drag on. The base set is small at 72 cards so I saw a lot of repetition. But, each box guarantees you a box topper and three autograph cards. Five to six boxes in the case will contain an additional hit of a swatch or kiss card.

I was pleasantly surprised by the design of the cards though. I really like the color variation on the base cards. I also like the unique front and back of each card. In most cases, you will see the front of the girl on the front side of the card and on the back side of the card you see her back side.

You can find boxes of this product for around $30 on ebay. But, I believe saving up for a case is the better approach. I paid $330 for the case, and I believe I got the full value back from it. The Super Rare autograph should net around $100 by itself! If it wasn't for the mega hit, this would have been a mildly disappointing case. I'm not really sure if each case has a mega hit like this. You can see the checklist above for card details. Overall, I was very happy with this case and will likely revisit another Benchwarmer set in the future.

P.S. My scanner is old and terrible! Doesn't do these cards justice.

enderwiggin may be interested in the Underwood Auto

I think the odds for 2007 would be 1 big hit in every other case (Auto'd Kiss, Auto'd Bikini, or Super Rare)

I'd recommend 2007 Gold Edition if you are going after another case. 2 autos and 1 kiss per box.

Case breakdown: 1 auto'd kiss per case along with 2 parallel autos, 1 Lisa Gleave insert Auto, 1 auto'd box topper, 1 case topper, and a swatch card. Also chances at Super Rare Autos, High Heel Cards (Signed and Unsigned), Auto'd Bikini Swatch cards, and Blue foil auto'd kiss cards. Plus the parallel base cards with an on average of 1 holofoil, 2 pink, 12 purple, and 48 silver per case.

Nice signer lineup with Cindy Margolis, Christy Hemme, Candice Michelle, Mary Riley, Aubrie Lemon, Nikki Ziering, Shauna Sand, Claudia Jordan, Holly Madison, Olly Girls, Buffy Tyler, Brande Roderick, Trishelle Cannatella, etc.....

Plus it has Jessica Burciaga's Rookie Card.

Good thing I got lucky.

Gold series is nice....but $500 for a case scares me a little. I worry about making up most of the value.

Without the Underwood auto, this would've been a below average case. Nice hits though, the Olly girls dual is hot!!!

$500 a case scares you? Weren't you the one saving up for the $900 Signature Series case? lol

Anyways, everything is a gamble if you are mainly looking to make money or break even. You are best off finding a set that has a lot of models you enjoy and going after a case of that so you can pull the autos you want and then worry about selling or trading the rest. I just saw Sean Pence's Aubrie sketches from 2008 Signature Series today and they are HOT!!!!! Those will command a pretty penny from sellers when they are found and listed.

SEAN PENCE IS FREAKN' AMAZING!!!! He truly captures how beautiful Aubrie's Eyes and Smile are in his sketches. THOSE ARE ABSOLUTELY UN F'N BELIEVABLE!

Yeah, but the 08 SS is loaded. I'd feel more confident in getting value from that then Gold series.
