    That is actually a pretty good break (If he would've opened it 12 years ago), considering that he did get 2 refractors in that box, normally you would have just gotten 1. But honestly, it's only a Great break if you are able to get the refractors of Kobe, Iverson, or Jordan, or the #138 Kobe regular Topps Chrome and have it sent to be graded hoping it will come back as a 9.5 or 10. Otherwise, you're setting yourself up to fail by opening this box, since there are no guarantees what rookies or refractors you are going to get.

    Also, yeah, I found the gloves kinda funny, but these are condition sensitive cards, so it makes sense.

    I bought a pack of this about a year ago for $50 by mistake. Worst choice ever lol. Wish I would have bought some as a kid but back then I didn't know these cards would be worth a lot in the future!

    i dont see what the problem is. he just doesnt want to get prints on them. i hate seeing breaks were the guy would touch the surface.

    That was my point.
    But the way he's bending them and touching the fronts with those type of gloves he's still risking damage.
    They make softer/special gloves for photos/film and books.
