One box of 2013/14 Crusade - Well... That was better than expected

Hey everyone!

I got back from summer vacation and had a little extra money left over, so I went to my LCS to buy a box.
Ended up getting this box at $70 with sales tax, which is pretty high ($48ish online). However, I was in a big basketball mood and this was the only thing in my price range with the little bit of cash I had.

I actually turned my LCS owner on to COMC.com and he really has a blast talking about his newest income stream with me. Anytime I come in, he rewards me with little treats for helping him get going on COMC.

Well today I was so fortunate to get these awesome figurines!

Aren't they just plain cool? :)

As for the box, I was telling myself that this $70 would quickly be wasted.
And 3 packs in, I was exactly right.
Then the last 3 packs heated up in a hurry and I ended up with one hell of a box.
Check out my hits....

Malone GU /99
Stockton GU /99
Kobe Refractor 23/49 - Almost #24!!

I'd say it was a pretty damn good day at the shop.

I don't know how much value the Kobe has, but I think he has to be pretty high despite Panini's continuous production of colored refractors because of the fact it's Lakers' Purple and Gold. It's just looks gorgeous in person!

And as I reflect, this 2013/14 Crusade product is pretty much a steal at $48. You get so many freaking inserts, refractors, numbered stuff, and RCs.
It's the perfect product to bust and send off to COMC after you keep the big hits. (In my case, I'm keeping the Stockton and Kobe and sending off the rest)

See you guys around the forums!
