    Prestige Blaster Theory...input needed

    I have read things about people selecting boxes based on the NFL Hologram serial # on the box. some people were saying that every # ending with an odd number for 06 SPA had a rookie au/patch.

    anyways...I hit a GU in a Prestige blaster and noticed that the NFL holo ended in 99. So, the next time I bought one I thought I would look at the numbers and got one ending in 66 and there was another GU in it. And now today I bought one ending in 33 and there was GU in it also!! Maybe this is dumb luck or maybe there is a pattern, just thought I would see if anyone wanted to test this theory by checking your local retail outlets and if you take a chance on one, grab one with a serial # ending with the same 2 numbers (i.e. 11, 44, 55 etc). I will also keep looking for similar serial numbers just to test my theory. I hope no one takes offense to this as "pack searching", because its not. it is just a theory and maybe it is all coincidence for me, but I would like to investigate this

    Although I haven't bought a Prestige retail box this year, last year I bought 1 or 2 and hit a gu in each. GU cards are becoming common enough that I think you can expect to get one in every retail box priced $19.99 or higher.
    Just my opinion though. Not based on any research or investigating.

    hey, i have a really good friend/dealer and he purchased a hobby case of prestige. so one day i run into him at the post office and he tells me he's bought a case of prestige and that's he's got 2 "special" boxes that has different serial #'s then the rest. so he offers me one and of course i took it :-). he said if i pulled something huge he wants a cut of the money i got from it. so we open it up and i pulled a sidney rice auto/50. nothing great, but a decent pull especially from prestige. i'm gonna open the other one this weekend so i figure maybe there's something even bigger :-).
