1) Awesome stuff but a few concerns
a) Will you get anything for your redemptions (I am guessing NO?)
b) Could these cases be possibly resealed. I like the seller feedback with no negatives but what happens if they were what could you do to protect yourself. If I knew the guy I would have no problem buying them but since I never heard of them would pass just to be on the safe side.
c) Research would need to be done to see the vet content versus the rookie content as your not going to get a lot of good rookies which can be had cheaply on the bay.

just my two cents.

Yeah, I'd be weary.

I bought a case of 2006 SP Authentic back then, and in 12 boxes, pulled a redemption in every third box (4). Plus, the case did not have a premium rookie, back then, or now. The best card I pulled was a Jay Cutler Chirography (at least for the Bronco PC) redemption.

Pulled auto patch rookies of;

C. Whitehurst / Chargers
D. Hagen / Dolphins
M. Lewis / Jaguars (probably the best of the four, with the best patch)
and a one color patch of T. Wilson / Browns

And one triple Chirography auto /20 of Laurence Mulroney/DeAngelo Williams/Joseph Addai

And my best veteran auto was TH Houshmanzadah

Probably spelled that wrong off the cuff

The plus is every auto was on card, but I just didn't get any of the bigger stars. Exquisite will also be on card, and there's plenty of vets that can make a case worth it, but they are far and few in between, and you'll likely need to hit two or three of them to justify $800.

Especially if your just looking for bait. My guess is you'll lose money of that's your goal.

Unless of course you hit a Cutler rookie, (and find someone really willing to shell out $500 for it) plus another bit hit like Barry Sanders that should sell for top dollar. It's possible.

I never had that kind of luck. I didnt' do much better in my case of 06 Contenders. A big box of stickers I wish I never bought. Actually, I could have spent the money on both those cases much better on singles for my PC.

So again, if your searching for PC hit, you'll need to be very lucky.

Never bought this really high priced/few cards stuff. A box has what, 8 cards?

At the bottom of the listing there was a single box for $500, so this seems like a pretty good price for three, but I still think you'll need to be really lucky to break even on this.

My 87 cents.

I wouldn't be too shocked to see football Exquisite sitting around especially from a super hyped rookie class year that has totally fizzled out. The guy probably was hoping the case would have made him rich if he sat on it long enough and now he sees no future for it. The redemption cards just kill old products like this because even if you hit a great card that is expired you get SQUAT for it.

I did forget that the 2006 draft class - all hype, no sizzle...

That is why I am still trying to get rid of my Maurice Jones Drew cards!

I would stay far far away with that $795 case price. Maybe at $395 a case I would take a chance.

It had some sizzle until Bush and especially Vince Young tanked. It was probably the most hyped class in long time in football (they kept comparing it to the 1983 draft if IIRC and it just fell flat after a couple of seasons). This draft class and the next year with Jamarcus Russell set back the "investing in rookies" market on the NFL side for a long long long time. Too many guys took a bath on outrageous prices for Vince Young, Reggie Bush, Cutler, Leinart etc that nobody really wanted to put loads of money into guys who haven't done squat in the NFL.

Still a very nice set and case but other than basketball these things really don't pan out in other sports IMO. Just too risky with the rookies and not enough of a market to keep high end popular whereas basketball could just stuff Lebron James and Michael Jordan autographs all in the case and nothing else and it would still be a winner.

After the nightmare I endured regarding the Jameis Winston "holy grail (National Treasures shield auto'd 1/1 RC) I NEVER intend to ever open another pack or box, let alone case, of any product containing redemption cards ... I just despise the whole concept.
