My 3 box bust (or "how I fell in love with collecting again"!)

[Matty76]

Hi gang

Will cut to the chase

Bought 3 boxes from footycards.com.au

Major highlights

Steve Waugh GEM
Glenn McGrath GEM
Don Bradman Legend GEM
Peter Siddle Elite Signature redemption
Andrew McDonald Elite Signature redemption

I am stoked beyond belief!!!

awesome mate, nice work. looks like i'll have to fork out the coin for a bradman legend gem as i think ive brought my last box.

WOW you did unbelievably well!!

I kept praying "Not Shane Watson....Not Shane Watson" - I was relieved when I turned the Elite redemption cards over and saw the names on them.

I emailed the bloke a thankyou note and he said he picked 3 boxes at random for me - I now must decide whether to partake in more or count my blessings!

Why dont you like Watson i reckon he is the 2nd best behind Haddin then Siddle well done.

 

[Matty76]

For me, collecting is only meaningful if I end up with cards of players I like (this is basicaaly all I collect), and I just cannot in any way admire the way Shane Watson carries himself on the cricket field. Consequently for my own purposes, I wouldn't exactly find his Elite Signature card to be a great "get".

[GMB#8]
