2011 Topps Finest 2 Box Break with NICE 1/1!!!!

[palffy1633]

Busted 2 boxes of 2011 Topps Finest at the LCS yesterday up in Tampa. I have not busted a box in awhile and wanted some Hosmer rookies.

Box 1 was really nice

Brandon Belt Orange Refractor Auto Rookie #'d 60/75
Brandon Beachy Dual Jersey Auto Rookie #'d 121/499
Eric Hosmer Base Rookie
Eric Hosmer X-Fractor Base Rookie #'d 233/299



Box 2 was O.K.

Zach Britton Green Refractor Auto Rookie Redemption
Aaron Crow Dual Jersey/Auto Orange Refractor #'d 94/99
Hector Noesi Gold Refractor Base Rookie #'d 14/50



All and all I was happy with the boxes, but there was one other card that came out of box 1.



Jeremy Hellickson Canary Refractor Rookie Base Card 1/1!!!!!!!

Considering I'm a Rays fan and collect Hellickson that was one of the best boxes I have ever opened. Hellickson 1/1/, Belt Orange Refractor Auto rookie and 2 Hosmer rookies!

But I feel torn by the card, could I flip/sell it and get some pretty cool Hellickson cards; low #'d dual jersey auto or Finest Big Patch card. Or maybe some real nice Hosmer rookie cards.

I consider the 2006 Bowman Chrome Hellickson's rookie card and not the 2011 Finest, but collect Hellickson's cards should I hold it or try and sell at it's highest(since Finest just came out).

Just a little confused, but in a good way. Thanks for the look and any comments could help my decision.

Sick hit.

You got some very nice hits there. Always nice to pull a 1/1 PC guy.

Thanks. I bought the boxes to start a Hosmer collection but ended up getting a Ray I collect. Now I have to bust more, I'm hooked.

Personally, I would hold onto that one. Especially if you are a Hellickson fan. The reason being, if he ends up being great, that card could end up being priceless. It is a little bit of a toss up, but that is probably what I would do. However, if the price is right, I would sell almost anything. He might end up being pretty dang good, so I would be tempted to hang onto it. I honestly think that card would go for quite a bit more money later on, if he ends up being a big star. It's kind of a toughy because if he "tanks," you're going to take a big hit. There you go, my $0.02...Nice pull though! I'm not sure why I never have luck like that.
