hi guys, i think it's called beginner's luck. seeking advice!!!!
So this is my story and why I'm here at the SCF. Well i just started collecting cards about two months ago i started collecting donruss optic buying exclusively retail loose packs and blaster boxes and watching group case brakes on YouTube. After a few hundred dollars of getting ripped off buying retail crap only getting a few bronze autos amd like two Orange #ed cards i get my tax refunds back so me and my wife decide to go to are local card shop and buy there last collectors box of optic 2017 in witch we did pretty well on finding a few red and purple parallels and a gold aka insert i was pretty pumped up from pulling my first low numbers card and me amd the wife decide to buy anther box and contenders optic sould have been showing up from ups any time but this solo box of select football2017 was calling out to me i couldn't stop come I back to it i asked the shop owner how much he tells me 169$ holy ™™™™ i sead but since its my birthday in a week and it was tax refund season we sead ™™™™ it and splurged the wife tells me i have to wait to open it tell we get home i sead as ok fine whatever so well I'm putting the cards from the optic box i just opened away my wife went next door to the beautyshop as I'm waiting out side for her i decided to be a bad boy and open one pack witch i pulled a Orange aaron rogers right then my wife walks out with a angry face and sead well sence you opened a pick i get to. I laughed and she picked a pack she rips it open suffers a few cards and her eyes light up she yells "the first hit of the box" she shows me a green 5/5 auto patch of patrick mahomes in witch i ™™™™ my pants.you know after that we had to keep ripping them packs open i pull my next pack and bam i see gold a andrew luck 10/10 right as I'm about to hoot and holler my wife yells "the 2nd hit of the box" well in my head I'm thinkin this gold andrew luck isn't a hit? She shows me a gold large patch of john Ross in with i ™™™™ my pants again i also opened a of 25 auto a few packs later i was just wondering what you guys think its worth and if you think the 20$ appraisel from Buckitt be worth it
