    To Bust or Not to Bust?

    I won a pre-order box of SPx on eBay, was just delivered today. Since I got it so early (3-4 weeks before it was released), I got a really good deal: $101 shipping and all. Now they're selling for $140-150.

    So obviously I can bust it...I've seen a lot of nice breaks and very few bad ones, so it seems like a good product to bust. Or I could resell it, make about $40-50 profit, and spend the $140-150 on a couple of boxes of Topps Chrome or something like that.

    What does everybody think? And why? Not saying I'll listen to ya, but I wanted to ask nonetheless.

    I'd say open it....2 boxes of Topps Chrome won't yield you better results than 1 box of SPx would.

    That's a very good point...plus the fact that I rarely have the money to buy a box that costs that much to begin with. Getting it like this is really the only way I could.

    I would do the SPX but the only downfall is you wouldn't trade any Chris Johnson's if you pulled them.

    Ha! Very true...a nice Chris Johnson Triple GU/Auto would make the box for me!

    Has anybody seen any bad breaks of SPx this year?

    Not really, at worst you could sell the triple auto/gu and get 15 back.

    Since Chris is taken, I'll call dibs on Jags (which as a Titan fan i'm sure you don't want) Kevin Smith, Calvin Johnson and Marshawn Lynch.
