Benchwarmer Affiliation Update - Mary Riley Visiting SCF!

Remember group box and case breaks can only be done by staff members.

so if someone buys a case and opens it they can't post what they've gotten? I've seen it tons of times on breaks where people open up their cases and pst the results

Group breaks, as in many people buy into it as someone was suggesting (I think!) :P

oh ok, well just to be clear on my end, if I end up buying a case I'm opening everything myself

haha...I'm there with you duwal. I should have my case mid next week so I'll post my breaks then. It's been awhile since I broke some benchwarmers. Been distracted with sports cards.

jubei - you should have waited and spent that money towards a 2009 Limited Case. 2006 Series 2 is ok and you could pull something big, but most of the nice regular autos are SP. Hopefully you pull something decent (I'm sure you saw the potential of a Bettie Page auto and that is what drew you to that series). Even though the odds state 2 kisses per case, I pulled 4 in mine, and the exact opposite for 2006 series 1.

PS Hopefully you get a good case topper!

I'll have a test run with the 1st 2 boxes. If they seem pretty good I'll get the case with the extra cards. I want to see what years are included in the free autographs. Then possibly have a huge case break on here if the first couple boxes are good!!

2002 Series 1 is weak over all that is why they are giving autos away (Same with 1997). Series 1 only has a swatch card and no kiss card per case. 2002 series 2 has a lot of potential with a kiss card and swatch per case and some great limited potential autos. I will tell you this, 2002 is a very painful year to bust a case. 36 packs a box with most of the cards being stuck together so you have to break them apart. They also have problems with rough edges on the base cards (can't remember if it is both series or series 2).

I think Series 1 at least put the autos and inserts as the last card in the pack, compared to series 2 where you had to search all the cards and with them being stuck together it is easy to miss the auto the first time.

Even though it's painful to open, I wish I would have bought another series 2 case off of ebay for $130 when I had the chance to try for some of the limited autos I still am looking for.

I'd guess that the majority of free autos would come from 2005 Signature series seeing they are 1 per pack, but we'll have to wait and find out. (Offering 60 auto and 50 auto lots would mean a lot of busting if it wasn't)

[jubei777]

yup, i would've put it towards 09 limited but too pricey for me now. i was looking for a cheap break of something that i haven't already busted and this fit the bill. i'll have to break it outside since after about 2 boxes the fumes from the cards start to get to me. *_*

Hopefully you pull a Jennifer Walcott Auto'd Bikini Swatch!

There are a lot of decent Bikini Swatches in series 2 along with some sweet case toppers. I guess if I was going to go with another case for that price range it would be 2006 series 2 in hopes of that Walcott Auto Bikini.

Hopefully you get 4 kiss cards like I did in series 2.

thats pretty cool i guess they had a change of heart since this is the second time?
