5 bucks a pack for what i would think as containing only silver...Hmmmm.


I do nothing with sports cards. In his listing he shows feedback for HOT packs he has sold in the past. Does anyone know how much "those" chase cards go for?  Would this guy REALLY give away a HOT Sketch/Gold pack???

The thing is I don't think you can tell a gold from a silver through the wrapper. You just know it's a silver or a gold and the odds of it actually being a gold is a 1:1000

Yea right..what's the probability that one of those packs has a GOLD...they are probably all SILVER $3-$5 each now..

I noticed that know one that has bought these lots has given him ANY feedback...positive or negative...a little wierd..

LET'S TAKE A TALLY:

How many GOLDS have been found on the forum??

1. I FOUND ONE - OPENED LESS THAN 4 BOXES..

YOU ARE CORRECT SIR!! SO ITS KINDA MISLEADING TO WRITE - GOLD? SKETCH?

HOW DOES HE KNOW THAT A SKETCH WILL RESIDE WHERE A GOLD OR SILVER MIGHT BE - HAS THIS BEEN PROVEN?? CARDGARY MIGHT BE ABLE TO SHED SOME LIGHT ON THIS ONE?

ANYONE PULL A SKETCH WHERE A GOLD OR SILVER MIGHT RESIDE..NEXT TO A TAG OR MAGENT??

- My sketch card came in one of the "Silver border card - Pack to the Future card" packs as an extra card

- My gold border card came in a pack in the sequence where a  "Pink border card - Movie card" pack
  should have been.  The gold bordered card  replaced the pink border card.

Why are Target bonus boxes selling for nearly $40.00??
Is someone trying to make this a ANS1 target box.
I just saw two in my target yesterday. maybe I should go grab them...

I went to 5 Targets last weekend and only found 3 bonus boxes. Seems as though each store only gets two boxes and that's it. I think people are having a hard time finding them so they say f#¢% it and buy them on ebay for higher dollar. I sold one for $16.99 (after the ebay and paypal fees I think I made 3 bucks off of it) and I have another one up for $24.99, the third one is in my collection, for now anyway. I have panicked in the past and bought bonus boxes high on ebay a few times myself....

The Target I go to had only one, and seems to replenish its supply with one box at a time.

And the cards in there were somewhat curved, as if someone grabbed them with their fist
and "scrunched" them a bit.  Not too serious, but could be better.

I think they are somewhat tough to find but not nearly enough to justify that kind of price.  Also, if you are looking at one of Clint's auctions you need to take the price with a grain of salt.

Don't get it 'bigmuc' selling the non-ltd poster PC7 set = all postcards + poster for $1 + $5 S&H = How does he even make money on that...after ebay and paypal fees and listing fees...seems like he's selling it for free..even if he makes $1 on S&H - lot of work for nothing...crazy...

I have one of those posters for sale if any one needs one... ;D

Well I just won the B4 bonus for $3.00 + shipping so it can't be too rare!  I think it's a little bit of hype on the dealers part.

Initially I though these would be tough and bought one for $10. Now I believe I have about 10 extras. They are not scarce.

He probably just wants to get rid of so many at the lower price and the others sell or keep or open up himself. I've seen this before with sellers listing the same item at a different price. It's either a mistake, a gimmick or just want to blow out some of the extra stock.

One is a hobby box and the other is a retail box. I don't know why they would be different prices though.

Are Hobby boxes worth more than Retail boxes?? for ANS8?? - and how about ANS7?? - the hobby box had a poster and the retail did not...is one hard to find than the other...anyone?? would think both are the same price...clint has ANS7 Hobby @ $49 and Retail @ $39 what's up with that??

Maybe he's unaware that there is no difference this time around. Or it may be just what I said a few posts ago.

They are different prices because the Hobby box costs $10.00 more from the dealers so he's just passing on the costs.  I think Topps messed up with that because with no poster it doesn't make sense to buy the Hobby boxes.  I bought a Hobby case and if I had known I would have made them all Retail.

I think the fear is he might have found a sketch or gold in a case and then decided to sell the other boxes from that same case.

I wouldn't buy a box from him at either price for that very reason.

I wouldnt buy any boxes from anyone selling packs or already opened sketches. I've been very lucky with blisters this time, just pulled a gold from a blister. That makes 1 sketch and 1 gold from 111 packs. 39 of which came from a Target suspect of being searched. I didnt get 1 chase from 39 packs.

My Target had 6 bonus boxes as well.  My mom and I bought 2 to open together.  I've got to get back there to see if the others sold yet, and to look for some more bonus blisters.

Mine had like 5 or 6 bonus blisters a week ago.  I left them all behind as I had bought the three I needed a week before to get my B1-B3.

Is this theory iron clad? That if you pull a sketch from a case - the rest of the boxes DEFINATELY do not have a sketch?

Nonsense.  Unless it is proven that the collation is such that each case only gets one Gold, your suggesting that a previous random event impacts a future event is nonsense.  Are you the type who believes the odds of flipping a coin and getting heads immediately after flipping a coin and getting heads is less than 50/50?

I do know the odds are against you to pull another one so why take the chance? Just sell the other boxes and move on. I would rather play the odds.
