I believe that this set break was back in November. I suppose I'm a little behind on posting!
I participated in my second set break with
Burl's Sports and bought three spots for his 1956 Topps set break. I'd previously picked up some spots in a
1957 set break and though I didn't hit any of the big cards, it was nice having a shot.
If you like vintage, I suggest giving it a whirl. Even if you don't end up with the monster, you will have vintage cards that you can trade or do whatever you like with. I don't get that dirty feeling like I had all the times I was burnt in box breaks. If you join, make sure to tell Justin that I sent you. He does give away a free spot in each break.

I don't know why, but Justin elected to throw in a bonus card for me. I'm not asking questions why and just enjoy having the additional card in my collection.

I suppose it's hard to be disappointed when you end up with such wonderful vintage, no matter who or what. Definitely something to consider.
ReplyDeleteThat is exactly how I see it. Would I have preferred ending up with the Mantle? Absolutely. In the end, I still get a great vintage card and I at least had a shot at a card that I otherwise wouldn't. Let me know if you get into one of his breaks.
DeleteYou picked a great set, 1956 is a favorite of many collectors (myself included) Team cards are tough, I think. And you cant beat a freebie with a pair of HOF greats. I might have to look into these set breaks and see if I can get in on the fun.
ReplyDeleteThe 56's are great and the Fence Busters is probably one of my all-time favorite cards, two giants of the game in more ways than one.
ReplyDeleteI'm a big fan of 56T... but that Fence Busters bonus card takes the cake.
