Busted 2 more boxes of TTT09 and got 2 1/1s. ]]> gomiamigo https://www.sportscardforum.com/entries/762-Negative-and-Positive-Variance https://www.sportscardforum.com/entries/389-Variance-is-good-and-bad Wed, 27 May 2009 05:43:00 GMT Well, for the first time ever I got a good case from Upper Deck after loser cases of Black last year, 3 Ultimate, Chrono, and 2 Exquisite yielding ZERO great cards, zero MJs, Kobes, Russells, Birds,... Well, for the first time ever I got a good case from Upper Deck after loser cases of Black last year, 3 Ultimate, Chrono, and 2 Exquisite yielding ZERO great cards, zero MJs, Kobes, Russells, Birds, 1/1s, tonite it tilted back in my favor:

Stockton 1/1 auto!
Rose/Beasley dual to 25 auto,
Beasley to 50 auto'd jersey piece,
Russell/Elgin/West/Oscar to 1!

So after 11 boxes, I have 5 'A' autos + the Stockton. I should have stopped after 9 boxes but you'd hate to miss one. Of course, I ended up 3 Waltons also...got him in an Exquisite Case last year too, sick. ]]> gomiamigo https://www.sportscardforum.com/entries/389-Variance-is-good-and-bad https://www.sportscardforum.com/entries/383-Variance Fri, 22 May 2009 04:58:59 GMT Most people don't really understand the level of variance involved in a case or a single box from a print run of 500-1000 cases or more.

I've bot 20 single boxes of UD NBA product in the past year: 3 MJs, LBJ/10 and Bird/Magic auto'd to 5 Black.

I've bot 32 boxes in cases, and gotten the bare minimum and poor 'a' autos: 3 Durant, Magic, Erving, Garnett and one LBJ/Carmelo. Lowest one was # to 10.

Not a single Kobe or Russell in the bunch. No 1/1s. So I'm either very lucky, or very unlucky, depending on how you look at it.

So, you can never buy 2 boxes, 1 case, or 5 cases and tell if the product is full of good stuff or not -- it's just not possible to tell without seeing at least 15-20% or more of the print run. After all, we know there's going to be tons of base and never-play rookie autos and jerseys. Don't be surprised when they come in your box! ]]> gomiamigo https://www.sportscardforum.com/entries/383-Variance https://www.sportscardforum.com/entries/382-First-post Fri, 22 May 2009 04:52:01 GMT I guess this is my blog.

I like NBA cards - the card to the left is one I pulled out of a pack of Chrono, my first one actually. The next 12 I bot were pretty much awful.

I also have a nice tri-patch auto'd 10 LBJ Ultimate Materials from last year in the PC. Those are probably my two best pulls so far.

If you have Ultimate base or Chrono base cards from 2008 to trade pls lmk. Thanks. ]]> gomiamigo https://www.sportscardforum.com/entries/382-First-post
