Really like the design for the S2 Autos. I wish they'd use the de-saturated effect on some more sets in the future. Some base cards you'd be forgiven for not knowing which fighter in the picture corresponds to the name on the card...

Have to say I'm feeling just a bit disappointed...

Bisping Victorious Debut GOLD - BV ($25-60)
Machida Debut Mat Relic - BV ($20-$50)
Machida Debut Mat Relic GOLD - BV ($40-$100)
Wilson Gouviea Ultimate Gear - BV ($8-20)
CB Dollaway Auto - BV ($10-$20)
Rich Clemeti Auto - BV ($10-$20)
GSP Auto - BV ($250-$500)

So overall the hits and the numbered insert are worth between $363 and $770. Not bad, but still less than I paid for the box.

Oh well, it was nice to try the countdown, but not sure I'll do it again.

Very nice pull on the GSP. It was a cool idea and great to watch you breaking all these boxes.

 

[UFCtrader]

On a different note, anyone else see the Heavyweight Title Fight announcement?

1st Fox Main Event - Velasquez vs Dos Santos

 

[eggshen]

Nice work on the breaks dude... Was so cool watching a Round 1 box being broken... Was so hoping youd get something big with that last auto.. I remember my Rd 1 box had 3 ****ty autos in it.. I think CB Dollaway was in every box made lol...

I agree too about Round 2. I love the look of the Relics and Autos... And they have the 1st autos of alot of awesome fighters. Also the Dual Auto Relics too.. Main Event and Series 4 are horrid imo..

I just wish i had the $ for some boxes right now

Have you ever tried the Leaf MMA product? If you know your MMA aside from UFC its really cool imo.. You will get some auto's you will never get in a UFC product in there..

That Round 1 break was saved by the GSP!! Awesome hit. The Machida Gold mat is a nice hit to. I wouldnt be dissappointed with the round 1 box at all actually.

The round 2 box was a bit of a shocker though as far as hits go.

Nice breaks all up though. Very enjoyable to watch.

 

[GiRDS-]

great to watch mate, thoroughly enjoyed it. GSP was a box saver.

 

[siegeandspike]

The Machida mat relic is one of the few that I am missing in the first set. Maybe a possible future trade?

If you mean the base one and not the gold, sure.

Yup, base.

Congrats on the GSP auto mate, very nice hit there!

The Victorious Debuts #/88 are tough to pull, did not get one from the 3 boxes i opened back in the day.

The quality control was much better in Round 1, don't believe i ever saw a box missing hits.

The Round 2 box wasn't the best, 2 no name autos

Great trip down memory lane, thanks mate
