1 Case of Spectra 14-15

[nvk1980]

For the first time as a collector, I decided to go on a bit of a splurge (or a very expensive risk, if you ask my wife )... I decided to buy a whole case of a product. And with Spectra arriving a few days ago, I went ahead and bought one from Cherry. The cost wasn't prohibitive -when you compare the prices of all the different products available- and I opted for quality over quantity.

Anyway, I'll open a box at a time (total of 5 boxes) and post the results straight away. Let me know what you guys think

BOX 1

Kevin Garnett Base 07/75

P.J. Hairston RC Prime Patch Auto

Walter Davis Franchise Fabrics 17/25

Julius Randle RC Prime Patch Auto

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Franchise Fabrics Prime Patch 08/10

Gary Harris RC Jumbo Patch 12/49

Aaron Gordon RC Prime Patch Auto

Nikola Mirotic RC Global Icons (This series celebrating international stars is very rare, one of these cards per case on average - I was hoping for the Greek Freak but Mirotic is also looking very promising )

good luck mate! ready and watching... the randle and especially the kareem are beautiful so far!

 

[Aronzo33]

Wow you did bloody great with that first box! And you have 4 to go!

 

[jwill7]

Randle, Gordon and Mirotic (not to mention Kareem GOLD!) in one box...I'd say that's a solid way to start a case break!

RODMAN MOJO!!

 

[Billyhoyle]

Very nice mirotic

This stuff looks amazing. Best stuff I think I've ever come from Panini apart from some NT or Flawless stuff. Even then it's up there because of the shiny patchy awesomeness. You go for Flawless/NT for the simple yet quality designes, logomen, diamonds etc then this for the other stuff. Amazing.

 

[OutlawNinja]

Love that Kareem. Mojo for the other boxes.

 

[zeeman]

Good luck fingers crossed for some awesome hits! (and maybe a kyrie or two)

Glad you liked em guys!
Unfortunately I had to get called in work this morning, so I had to go to bed earlier than expected I did open one more box and -dare I say it- it probably is even better than the first one! Photos will be uploaded tonight, with the other 3 boxes. So, patience lads

As I posted in a different thread, I am not really that keen on the card designs. I think that other higher end cards are a lot more slick and have a more classic and timeless fell to them (immaculate and flawless for example). But when it comes to hits and getting bang for your buck, Spectra is the way to go, especially if you don't won't to get a second mortgage
