1 box Topps Magic 09 (brutal break!)
Alright, my first football box break! I've been really looking forward to the Magic set this year, and was prepared to buy a box online from the states, but I put it off because the card show was this weekend. Anyways, I got lucky and found a box at the cardshow and the guy even knocked 20 bucks off the price, woot! Unfortunately it was about the only thing lucky about it, check out the worst break ever!
First off, my 3 autos:
Reggie Williams
DeShawn Wynn
Owen Schmitt
Man, I know they can't all be superstars, but I actually had to google DeShawn Wynn.
Next, base: 11 duplicates! 154 non insert (and non mini) cards (24 packs) in a 250 card set and I got 11 friggin dupes! That's not including the base card of each of my autos. (2 reggie williams base actually)
Not bad inserts though, weird that they're all in sequence (was this box collated at all?):
All Americans
AA3 Bo Jackson
AA4 Ladanian Tomlinson
AA5 Kevin Smith
Alumni
AD-JL Desean Jackson/Marshawn Lynch
AD-SM Stafford/Moreno (PC)
Magic Thrills
MT3 2003 Fiesta Bowl
MT4 2005 Rose Bowl
Magic
M24 Death of a Salesman
M25 Reggie Bush
M26 Matthew Stafford
M27 Mark Sanchez
So...yeah, thanks for checking it out, sorry if my break ruined your day
Everything but the PC is FT, I'll have all the cards in my signature link soon, and will be checking the set building forum for trades!

Pretty rough...that's the deal with Magic though. There are some great autos to be had, but there are some really bad ones too....sorry you got the latter!
If I can give you anything for the Bo Jackson All American I could use it for my set...lmk, thanks!

Haha thanks for the condolences. Is there a point at which I can actually complain to Topps? Not about the autos obviously (these things happen), but about the 11 duplicates.
To the Kraken and OnePimpTiger, I'll PM you guys later about trades!

What's funny about googling Wynn is that he's probably the best player of the three. Tough luck

Haha yeah I noticed that! The only reason I already knew the other two was because Williams is notable as a bust, and I know Schmitt because I'm a WVU fan.
