Black Friday 3-box break --got lucky!!!

[stewart20rulz]

It's been a long time (since the fall of 2008) since I cracked open a box of racing cards. I've mostly concentrated on my baseball collection after coming back from my deployment from the desert and just haven't gotten back into the racing much. But, late the other night after work on Black Friday, I managed to find a few good deals on Blowoutcards.com that were still available so I couldn't resist. I picked up their last box of 2005 VIP Hobby Racing, a retail box of 2006 Wheels American Thunder, and a retail blaster of 2005 WAT. All together, the purchase set me back about $32 plus shipping. Here's what I pulled:

2005 WAT Blaster (8 packs)
NOT BAD FOR $5:
-- License to Drive 3-card retail bonus pack (Kvapil on front and #LTD7 Bowyer on back. I'm not sure who the middle card is (didn't open it)
--Medallion -- #12 Rudd, #4 Labonte, #19 K Petty
--American Eagle #1 Jeff Burton
--American Muscle #4 Jeff Gordon
--Thunder Road Sterling Marlin (1:18 packs) NFT

2006 WAT Retail box (24 packs)
Not bad for $15
--Grandstand: #3 Kyle Busch, 4 Dale Jr, #6 Jeff Gordon, #9 Jarrett, #11 Kahne, #12 Kenseth, #17 Mears, #20 Riggs, #22-Truex, #24 Lamar, #26 Hornaday
--American Idol: Truex, Johnson , J Burton, Kahne
-- American Muscle: Mark Martin, Jarrett
-- Thunder Road: Bobby Labonte NFT

2005 VIP Hobby Box (Stole the last Hobby box special for $11.97--crazy price!)
--Making the Show: #2-R Wallace, 5-Dale Jr, 8-Newman, 11-Andretti, 12, B Labonte, 15-Boris Said, 19-Marlin, 29, Mears, 24-Leffler, 25-Bliss, 26-Martin
--Drivers Choice: Smoke , Dale Jr
-- Lap Leader: Kenseth, Dale Jr , R Wallace
-- Head Gear: Johnson , Kenseth, Edwards
-- Head Gear Transparent: Harvick
-- Total Memorabilia Power Pick card: Dale Jr (1:200) EXPIRED



I was pretty happy no matter what I was going to pull with the prices, but I didn't get any Stewart cards I needed for the PC and already completed all my 2005 VIP and both WAT sets from 2005 and 2006 minus the Thunder Road cards and Rookie Thunder autographs so everything listed and the base cards are for trade if anyone needs any....

oh and I forgot my memorabilia card from VIP...I also got this:




Jeff Gordon Gold Signings #ed 27/50 -- oh so close to his car # and my first Gordon autograph I ever pulled from a pack as far as I can remember.

Will be a PC card unless I get a really sweet Tony Stewart card I need of equal value. According to Tuff Stuff it books $150 x2.5 ($375). I haven't had a Racing Beckett in a while so I'll have to see how the Beckett BV compares with Tuff Stuff and the sell value.

Thanks for looking!

$11.97 for the Hobby Box?...and you pull a Gordon Gold Signings? Something isn't right here....

I think you should send it to me....just in case it is fake...afterall...I wouldn't want that to taint your PC....(what are friends for?)

Congrats on all the pulls!
