Ozsportsfan's box breaks

[Ozsportsfan]

Well I finally broke my first box. I chose 2014 Panini Elite and was not disappointed with the product. No Manziel, Carr, Bortles or any big guns in terns of the autos. Got one I am happy to have. I have included the inserts in case some people had not seen them and so Muzza could see what my box produced other than base cards. Sorry if the pics are bit poor. As good as the Iphone camera is, there is no improved user function lol.

My 3 Rookies (All running backs lol)- Marion Grice, Terrance West, James Wilder Jnr



Legends of the Fall - T-Sizzle, Drew Brees, Tony Romo, Chris Johnson

Face 2 Face- Sherman/Crabtree (got the base for each in the same pack lol), Jackson/Kuechly, Thomas/Flowers

Elite Series- Gronk, Aaron Rodgers and Victor Cruz

Passing the Torch series - Faulk/Stacy and Brees/Manning
Purple Rookie Diecut - Matt Hazel #/83
Debut Numbers - Devin Street #/299

Profile - Kaepernick
Turn of the Century Jake Locker#/199

Gridiron Kings- Brian Hartline #/199
Sophomre Swatch - Gio #/49

Clarity Insert- Peyton Manning
Turn of the Century Auto - Rajon Neal #/99
Rookie Auto - The black mumba D'Anthony Thomas

At the moment I am not trading anything (busy building up a collection lol). Hope The pics are not to bad and offer some insight (sorry for length, will get better I promise lol)

Very good box mate.
A couple of real nice jerseys and the Peyton Clarity is a beauty.
Thomas is a decent auto, don't know the other bloke.
Overall a great start. Well done.

 

[Ozsportsfan]

Yeah not sure of the guy, might google him. The insert series are pretty sweet. All 40 clarity could be an effort

Nice first box Michael, are you collecting any particular team or players?

 

[Ozsportsfan]

I am a ravens man, appear to one of many on here. Contemplating give this a good crack as a set and inserts. Player wise I am defense orientated, have a nice little junior Seau collection beginning and have started chasing some sapp and Ray Lewis. Also begun with some of the newer defensive players.

 

[Rusty Nail]

I have a load of Ravens base from the last year or two if you are interested in cards generally and not just hits, have got a fair bit of stuff in the Ravens PC and on COMC as well

 

[Ozsportsfan]

Got much old school ravens that is available? Lewis, Suggs, ed reed, ngata, j.lewis?

 

[Rusty Nail]

Like these??

 

[Ozsportsfan]

Yeah like those lol. Some very nice cards indeed

 

[RedskinsFan]

nice break mate, im keen on the thomas if you are moving it, PM me

 

[Ozsportsfan]

Not currently moving anything will keep you but will keep you in mind if I do

Thought I would continue to constantly update this thread.

After the group break with Cherry, I decided to collect this product so I made a purchase

Box 1

Atomics - Brandin Cooks, Tom Savage

Xrefractors - Demaryius Thomas, JJ Watt

The Hits

Andy Dalton Blue Wave 08/99
Robert Woods Auto Patch
Donte Moncrief RC auto patch 70/75

Box 2

Atomic - Allen Robinson, Bishop Sankey

Xrefractor - Jared Abbrederis RC, Robert Quinn

The Hits

Zach Ertz Red? Wave 33/50
Zach Ertz auto patch
Redemption - Michael Sam Rookie refractor autograph patch

Not too shabby of a purchase, will not be working to complete the set (another challenge as well as panini elite). I am thinking I may jump into a couple of breaks to get some cards and chase cherry about the base from our case break.

 

[Ozsportsfan]

Being on school holidays (teacher) decided I needed some top loaders and kind of bought up at DAs.

Felt the urge to rip, so bought up on some retail.

2 2014 panini elite packs - got 4 base that I needed and a duplicate trent murphy RC, Duplicate Antonio Gates LOTF insert. Also got Mike Wallace Turn of the century which was a nice surprise.

First up to be ripped was 2011 prestige retail pack lot - massive amount of cards and RCs. The hits i guess would be

Devin Hester insert
Beanie Wells patch- guess this would have been a bigger hit back then lol

NEXT UP - 2012 Panini Absolute

The hits/ inserts

Box 1

Posey Patch : Brees insert, Lewis and Laurinaitis (PC stuff)

Box 2

Russell Wilson Patch (no number or auto sadly), other inserts that may have been alright back then lol

Box 3

Stephen Hill patch (another was probably sweeter back then pick up) , Reggie Bush as a Dolphin, and Patrick Willis insert (PC)

 

[Ozsportsfan]

2013 stuff
Sorry no pic but ripped 3 blaster boxes of prestige
Box 1

Chance Warmack auto RC and a few other inserts

Box 2

Travis Kelce auto RC and other inserts

Box 3

Mixed rookies (also dubbed the dud box as the only one without an auto lol)

 

[Ozsportsfan]

Won a #PaniniWildCard completion on Twitter. Prize was a free box of panini cards. It arrived today and too my surprise it was a box of absolute.


Having never broken absolute (or watched breaks of it) was keen to see what was inside.

Tony romo/10, cfed to /20. All in all a solid box.

 

[Ozsportsfan]

Posted from phone sorry the pics were not in the post.

 

[RedskinsFan]

Nice pulls mate, keen on the Thomas, nice to get a free box!

 

[Ozsportsfan]

yeah couldnt complain when I went and checked the price to buy it lol.

 

[Tazhawk]

Hadn't seen this thread. Very nice array of cards. Will keep you in mind if I come across any Ravens.

 

[Ozsportsfan]

I have a wide range of collections happening lol. Building some sets, and collect various defensive guys. Have collections for Mack, barr, mosley, Watkins, Lee, donald, verrett, telvin smith etc. going lol
