1998/99 Hobby Box Break Live!!

[Mamboblue72]

Another retro box for the breaking! these are expensive but rare! And you are guarenteed a signature!
Quality is not bad although there is only 24 packs in the box, not sure if you can put a set together and i think you need 4 boxes to coplete the gold set!
Really looking forward to getting the Steve Waugh World Class and the record breaker cards
Lets Go!

7. Mulally Gold, Healy Record Beaker (not bad i guess)
8. Atapattu Gold, McGrath World Class
9. Such Gold
10. Cork Gold, Taylor Record Breaker
11. Jayasuriya Gold
12. Adam Hollioake Gold, Taylor World Class

Wow 4 hits in 5 packs, me thinks the 2nd half of the box will be as barren as an English Trophy Cabinet!

14. De Silva Gold

Nice break.... how much did the box set you back?

 

[Mamboblue72]

$200+ A lot really but they were limited to only 1600 boxes
100 cards in the set, box broke down to:
1 x sig redemption
2 x Record Breakers
3 x World Class
18 X Gold (1 Double) That means you need more than 5 boxes to even have a hope of a complete gold set!
114 silver cards, still missing some to!
That is tough love

 

[Mamboblue72]

pricey boxes but atleast a guaranteed auto

marsh is a nice pickup, dont think he signed in any other release.

The Heroes set was one of my fave Select auto sets.

[1967Sharks]

They also have cases of them. Pretty expensive but would be sick fun

 

[Mamboblue72]

Wow that is serious committment! I would drag out the process and catalog each card just to make the experience last!

Hah Hah we are a mad lot!

 

[Mamboblue72]

Oh the tragedy!! The 2nd box was a dud 19 of the 26 inserts were the same!!!!!

Did get a Doug walters Redemption and another Steve Waugh World class

Needless to say i will have many card for trade that i will list this weekend!

(a Fool and his money is easily parted!!)

Keep busting
