This box also was 16 chrome cards short of a base set, but I managed to complete a second set of chromes with this box, and I am now only 1 card of a third full set of chromes.

The golds were mostly Aussie ODI cards and Rising Stars, meaning now I am only missing the Aussie Test cards.

Also pulled my third Warnie WC, mening those of you who have expressed interest in these can expect a PM when the final box is busted

Thanks all - get back to you shortly with details of the next box!!

[crows2010]

[boomboom-84]

wow did you buy a case?

No cases unfortunately I think I would have needed to take out a loan for that... but I do have a couple of boxes to go

Also confirming I did get these from Cardzone - they are listed at $235 on the website.

Who would have thought there would be another Superstar only 2 boxes along from the last one!! Even though it is Mark Waugh again, you can't wipe the smile off my face atm . Greg Chappell also was a fantastic pull .

This box was 15 cards away from a base set of chromes. I now have 3 full sets of chromes, and am 9 cards away from a 4th set. The most chromes I have of any individual card is 9 (a few of the Heroes cards).

Seems however I am out of luck with the gold cards. Only pulled one from this box that I didn't already have, and methinks I've missed out on the Aussie Test team golds - only Poms and Sri Lankans in sight

And I do have to say that I am sick of Ian Healy RB cards. I have pulled 4 RB7 cards and 2 RB4 cards so far - but no sign watsoever of an Ian Healy World Class!!!

 

[BLOWN8]

boomboom thats crazy mate, you have done really well. i must say though you must have spent a small fortune on this series!
ive never seen this card so could you post some pics when you get it back.

 

[COMPO]

The best is still to come. You will need a safe for all that gold, Grant.

 

[boomboom-84]

Tell me about it Ron!!

ATM (after 5 boxes!!) I'm still 22 cards off a full gold set, but I have 50+ doubles - mostly Poms and Lankans....

 

[Mamboblue72]

outstanding!! persistance pays off in the end! Well done Grant

 

[crows2010]

Fantastic box!!! Can't wait for pics

 

[boomboom-84]

Well I've been flat out working out in the scrub over the past 4 days... Just got back into the office and I'm pretty sure its time to go home and bust my last box!! Wish me luck I'll post results tomorrow morning

 

[Mamboblue72]

onya mate! good luck!

 

[COMPO]

Nothing like a bit of scrub work to wet the appertite. Good luck.

 

[BLOWN8]

Not a bad box as far as chromes go - 8 short of a base set which is as good as I have done so far. I just couldnt help getting one more box (and the good people at Cardzone had held onto box 0557 for me!!). If the golds continue on from here (which is no guarentee, but the risk I am willing to take), then I will end up with a second full set of Gold heroes, and only 6 or 7 gold cards short of a set (atm I am still 22 cards short).

 

[COMPO]

Gold!Gold!Gold!
