2016 Panini Classics Case Break

GimmeSomeJimmyBreaks

I’ve been wanting to do this for a while now.  I’ve tried other breaks and didn’t really think it was worth the value but when I saw this one and had to take a chance.  Also I like giving Dave and Adam’s Card World my business for a couple of reasons, first they have great customer service and second, they are a Buffalo company.  It was just under 30 dollars for one team for an entire case break.   The break was happening live from the National Sports Collectors Convention in Atlantic City.  Each spot also came with 2 Panini NSCC Silver Packs.  I bought two spots. As they randomly selected the teams, I hoped for Buffalo as one my teams but it wasn’t meant to be.  And with my luck, I got the two teams I’m not a fan of.  But they both had some value.  The Cowboys (with super rookie Ezekiel Elliott) and the 49er with the possibility of pulling a Jerry Rice or Joe Montana autograph.  I tried to Trade the 49ers for the Bills or Panthers but there were no takers.  The live break started at Noon and took about 2 hours to complete the entire case.  They […]

The Loot Locker – July Edition (Again)

GimmeSomeJimmyBreaks

So I guess I’ve been calling these by the wrong month.  It appears that the July Loot Locker actually comes the first few days of August.  I’ve been calling them by the month they come in, but I digress. Yesterday the “July” Loot Locker came in the mail.  I broke it open and found the following packs. Three packs 2015 Panini Contenders 2015 Panini Certified 2016 Donruss Elite 2015 Panini Contenders 2015 Panini Contenders #207 Chris Conley Autograph Variation Playoff Ticket Numbered 75/99 2015 Panini Contenders #28 J.J.

2009 Donruss Elite – Opened 7/9/2016

GimmeSomeJimmyBreaks

I picked up this box at a card show about 3 months ago for 4 bucks.  It’s been sitting on my desk and I finally got around to opening it.  The box contains 40 cards and promises at least one rookie and two inserts numbered to at least 899.  Take a look at some of the base cards. #21 Chad Ocho Cinco #36 Aaron Rodgers #63 Eli Manning #76 Ben Roethlisberger And here is my loan Buffalo Bills card… #10 Trent Edwards I have to admit that I have a Trent Edwards Buffalo Jersey.  It picked it up for 15 dollars after he was cut from the team.  It also came with a #5 Bills hat.  Now I just tell people it’s a Tyrod Taylor jersey.  Let’s Go Buffalo! Rookie card as promised. #204 Alex Mack – Browns Inserts Prime Targets #14 Justin McCareins 755/899 Stars #24 Ben Roethlisberger 027/899 At 250 cards (100 base veteran, 150 rookies) and more inserts than I can list, it’s not one of those sets that has me wanting to go grab a bunch of boxes and try to complete it.  I pulled a few nice cards to add to some trades and/or send […]

All My Cards: Part 2

GimmeSomeJimmyGeneral

After a couple of weeks of opening packs and entering data into spreadsheets.  And going back and counting and entering my mid-80’s Topps Football collection, I’ve crossed the 15,000 card mark.  So I thought it was good time to update again. I’ve got a pretty sweet spreadsheet going.  It’s full of tabs and rows and columns.  It’s full of formulas and formatting.  I told you I was a geek.  I spent about 4 hours counting and organizing my 2015 Topps Football and it turns out while I have one complete set I am 15 cards away from a second one.  And unfortunately I have 10 of one card in the set.  (#382 Tony Romo T60) I’ve now got 16 sets completely entered in to my database, although I have more 2013 Prizm to open.  Along with 554 Jim Kelly cards and 175 Thurman Thomas cards.  I have twelve 1987 Topps Jim Kelly #362 (Rookie) as my most counted card right now.  Pretty fitting to have 12 of a Jim Kelly Card!  One side note is that the Jim Kelly count only counts cards that I’ve separated from sets.  Being a set collector, his cards also appears in the sets where […]
