Broke open 2 boxes of 2010 Topps Tribute. Horrible QA on this product. In 2 boxes I got 2 damaged cards, 1 of which was a Auto Jersey of Clayton Kershaw. I had a base of Ty Cobb with the chrome peeling off. The packs were wedged into the box. For over $200 per box, I would think the packaging would be much better. Heck, A&G had better packaging.
Here are the pictures of the break.
Update on sales of this box:
I am at a loss of 67.61% right now. Still waiting on payment for a couple of cards that were recently sold. Just hoping at this point to not lose more than half my money spent.
This is my blog about my experiences opening cases of sports cards. I have been selling on EBay since 2001. I have been selling sports cards since 1985. I love the hobby, and to me it is a hobby, not a business. My point of the blog is to let everyone know what cases I am opening and if I was able to profit from them. Hope everyone enjoys the blogs. If you are interested in purchasing any cards, let me know.

2010 Sport Kings Series D 3 Case Break
I finally was able to get through all the cards for Sport Kings Series D. I broke open 3 cases and it was probably the fastest break ever. Love the cards. Pulled 3 cut autos in 3 cases (2 autos in 1 case, 1 in another, 0 in the last).
Sold the Phil Jackson cut auto for $500.
Here are pictures of the cards that I pulled. Everything is listed on EBay.
Update on some sales. Sold the Rosa Parks cut auto for $375. Sold the Johnny Unitas cut auto for $425. Sold all my empty boxes for $15 per box. Sold Muhammad Ali mini parallel to a NFL player for $67 (that was cool). Sold a Dennis Rodman auto for $24.
Update on more sales: Sold the 2 McGwire auto jerseys for $167 & $152. Sold the Quad Jersey of Ali/Nicklaus for $139.
I am beginning to wish I bought more of this product. Overall right now I am down 2.3%. However, I have about 50 more base cards to sell. I am thinking I might turn a slight profit on this case.

2010 Score Football Case Break
Broke open a 20 box case of 2010 Score football. Got a Tim Tebow autograph, that was definitely the case hit. Pulled a Toby Gerhart autograph. Other autographs included Mike Jenkins, Austin Collie, James Starks, Andre Dixon, and 2 LeGarrette Blount. Got 1 redemption for a Joe McKnight autograph. 9 total autographs. Let's see how I do on this break. Thoughts, predictions?
Here are the pictures of my break:
UPDATE ON SALES:
Sold the Tim Tebow autograph for $99.99. Sold Toby Gerhart autograph for $18.38. Sold Joe McKnight redemption for $13.08. All other autos sold for under $10. Sold a Hot rookies set for $20.75. It's tough to get a read on this. Can't predict if I will be able to turn a profit or not. Will be close. Right now currently stand at a 35.3% loss on this product, even with the Tebow sale. Many more sets and all glossy and rookie cards left to sell.

2010 Allen & Ginter Case Break
No Strasburg's. Opened 1 box that had no insert cards (auto, jerseys, silk, etc). This case also did not have a rip card. First time that has happened to me with a Ginter product. Overall not happy with this case at all. Most everything has already been listed or is currently listed on EBay. I have 1 more case to open. That should be completed tonight.
Here are the cards I got from the case:

UPDATE ON SALES
Just sold my 2 rip cards for $200 for Jason Bay /25 and $100 for Colby Rasmus /99. That helped reduce the loss. I also ripped open a rip card and got a mini Matt Garza that sold for $28.13. Still have many sets to sell and mini's. I am thinking that the total loss for this product will be about 20%. I am not buying A&G next year (unless another hot rookie shows up).
Currently I am at a loss of 53.6% on this 2 case break.
2009-10 Upper Deck SP Authentic Hockey Break
Broke open 5 boxes of 2009-10 SP Authentic. Sold 4 boxes, and still have 3 boxes left to sell. Currently I am at a -35.34%. I project a loss of about 10-11% on this case. I did not hit any big rookie auto's. Probably one in the remaining 4 boxes. If you want one, email me an offer. indcolts1@yahoo.com
Here are the cards I got from the 5 boxes I opened.
