POS Sweet Spot Classics Signatures Tin
Ok, Ive said it before, but this is IT for me opening boxes, from now on, Ill open retail if I get a fix to break a pack, and buy the singles I want. 110 down the toilet on this awful break...
Auto
Bill Moose Skowron #d 89/175- ok, its a cool looking piece, if I hadnt paid 110 for the box, Id be pretty ok with this pull. He is a legend, even if he isnt in the hall, and the auto is nice- I will likely end up keeping this...
It gets worse.
Jerseys (2 per tin)
George Foster
Goose Gossage 2 color
ok, neither of these guys is what id consider a legend. Gossage, maybe, but Foster was an overpaid overrated mediocre player for great teams
#d /575
Roy Sievers
Burt Hooton
Sievers- a solid vet...Hooton, a pos
If I had paid 50 for this tin, id be annoyed, but ok with it. at 110 Im fuming
Im done with sealed boxes, this is ridiculous...Last edited by palantri; 08-22-2007 at 05:00 PM.

On a serious note, the card companies need to really look at what they put into boxes. $110 is a sh1tload of money for a lot of people, and to not make your money back in terms of SV for a box is weak. No too mention that most of the game used cards or patch cards are never in mint 10 (gradeable) shape.

agreed completely. I understand that not every pull will be worth 1000 bucks, and i wouldnt have been that upset with the auto (it does look ok) if the rest of the box had been decent. two jerseys that are gonna book for 8 bucks each and 2 #d cards that will be .75 each just doesnt cut it. the companies can claim they dont know whats going to be worth a lot all they want, but they know- they knowingly get jerseys and autos of less desirable players and put them into high end products, knowing that they are going to, in effect, dupe the buyer most of the time. they put in just enough good stuff to get people to go out and give it a shot, like i did today

i feel for you palantri,it seems like ud takes pride in the amount of pos players they can cram into a high end product and then when someone pulls that needle in a haystack cut auto or top player auto it gets so much publicity that fools like myself will go and get a box,then after i pull my clete boyer auto and some junky gu i remember why i don,t spend anything more than 75 bucks a box,just never seem to get your money,s worth from high end,once again sorry about your break take care spuds

Broke 2 boxes of this myself. Dwight Evans and Al Kaline were my autos. Kaline is alright. Evans, meh. The jersey cards are horrible throughout the product.

Yeah, from what I've seen, this product is a waste of money for 95% of the people out there. Even Skrowron signs for free TTM (usually).
What is Juan Morillo doing in a 200+ buck box of Topps Triple Threads? David Murphy is in there too, and I'm sure there's others who don't fit a high end product.
