Slooooooooow 4 box break of 10/11 Prestige plus tennis

[fritzfreddie]

Pack 5: Kveta Peschke, Katarina Srebotnik
Pack 6: Gold (Bronze maybe) stamp Phillip Simmonds

Going to start box 2 of Prestige tomorrow. Of the rookies I have pulled for tennis so far, doesn't seem like many went on to do much.

Blowout Box #1
Pack 1: Larry Sanders Prestigious Picks /99
Pack 2: John Wall Draft Picks Rights /999 (card 211)

So got another nice serial Wall but no regular rookie in either pack is scary. Technically I got a rookie per pack like you are suppose to but both were serial cards and pretty sure that is line is talking about the regular rookie cards since if I get a hit/serial/insert of a veteran I'm not going to get a rookie if this continues. And it is real scary to wonder if it is this whole box or maybe it is all three boxes that I got from blowout if they messed up an entire case. So far I have kept to busting 2 packs a day pretty well and now I badly want to rip open more, not because of trying to find the hits but to see how bad this is.

Haven't been doing any video taping doing two packs per day but guess I will tape tomorrow so there is video evidence that I am not getting the regular rookies. Not sure if they would do anything if that happens to be the case or not.

Very weird on the Rookies, but nice Wall! The other Wall is definitely out of my range, but I'd be interested in this one if it's available.

Pack 3: Kobe insert
Pack 4: Granger insert

Video recorded hoping it was just a 2 pack problem, well, might not be a box problem or a 3 box problem but certainly not a 2 pack problem now. Did video tape it and opened a request to customer service yesterday asking them what I should do or if there is anything to be done. Don't want to save wrappers if in the end they won't do anything with them. Really a bummer to not see a RC in a pack.

Pack 5: Jason Kidd Bonus shots /249
Pack 6: Felton insert

Another slow starting box hits wise.

Pack 7: Prestigious Pros Zydrunas Ilgauskas /499
Pack 8: Kevin Love Franchise Favorites /25 auto

[fritzfreddie]

Pack 9: Greg Oden Prestigious Pros /499
Pack 10: Chris Paul Franchise Favorites jersey /249



Have family flying in that I am picking up right after work so not sure if I will be doing this for the next 4 days.

Congrats on the hits. The Love Auto is nice since its out of 25,

[fritzfreddie]

Thanks key2win, also nice since I have been living in Oregon since the days he was being recruited and saw him play in high school. Love vs Singler was fun to watch.

Opened up 2 packs before heading to work, just didn't think I'd get to it later.

Pack 11: Brook Lopez insert
Pack 12: Danny Granger Franchise Favorites jersey /249, Demarcus Cousins bonus shots /249 (card 215)

The Granger looks the same as the one I got in the group break so not going to take another pic. Hits came out fast and furious the last couple days but sadly not 1 rookie hit yet. Not to diss veterans but like many, I'm looking for the new rookie class and so far in this box, no base rookies, 3 serial cards, and no hits is a bummer. Granted 2 of the 3 serial cards were top picks but still feel like need a big rookie hit to save this box in the second half.

Broke two packs a day but didn't have my laptop out to post. Since was half way through a basketball box, did two days of tennis and then returned to basketball. Here are the 8 packs from Friday to today.

Tennis:
Pack 7: Nicole Pratt, Ana Ivanovic insert
Pack 8: Stephanie Dubois, Marat Safin 'jersey'

Pack 9: Aljoscha Thorn, Melinda Czink
Pack 10: Marion Bartoli, Andy Roddick Aces auto /125

Basketball:
Pack 13: Avery Bradley Draft Picks Rights /999
Pack 14: Patrick Patterson Draft Picks Rights /999

Pack 15: Evan Turner Draft Picks Rights /999
Pack 16: Campy Russell insert

Good weekend overall, Roddick auto and 3 rookie serial cards including my first Turner. Also got a response from Panini and it seems they will do something about the missing RCs after done opening the box and go through their process.

(If pics are huge, not sure why, resized them like normal)

An Andy Roddick Auto!!!! Holy Crap!!!! I bet you were pumped!!!!

[key2win]

Congrats on the auto!

[fritzfreddie]

Thanks guys, certainly was a thrill to see Roddick come out. Felt like I just slammed home a match point.

Pack 17: Xavier Henry NBA Draft Class signatures /292
Pack 18: Duncan insert

Well, another good day. That's the 4th hit so 6 packs left and hoping for an extra.

[fritzfreddie]

Pack 19: Josh Smith insert
Pack 20: Pau Gasol insert

Still hoping for an extra hit or a low numbered Bonus Shots, haven't had any below /249 yet in this box, just a /99 Prestigious Picks.

[fritzfreddie]

Pack 21: Brendan Haywood insert
Pack 22: Xavier Henry Bonus Shots /249 (card 162)

In the mail from an ebay win I got a Brian Zoubek Bonus Shots /49. Only one I have seen up so far for purple for him.
