2008 Topps HTA Case Break - NCAA Promo

[iluvfish2]

Yes...the Tourney is done and I'm just getting this posted (Bought this as part of the NCAA Promo - unfortunately Oakland University didnt make it to far). Busted the boxes probably over a month ago. Here are the results.

Have one other case to recap - expecting similar results once sorted - Highlight by far was a Verlander All Rookie Team Auto /25 - Being a Homer, this was a nice hit for me. Still unsure on what price to put on it.

No specific order on boxes as I busted them and put the cards back in the boxes, so order could be off, but content should be accurate.

Two Hits per box: 1 auto (odds are for the 2007 Highlights) and one relic (either the manufactured sweaters or other) – typically 4 Sweaters and 2 Relics per case
