For those of you who were watching, one of the guys who won the Beckett contest busted their Exquisite box on the BMB. I predicted the box would be nothing special because it is just one of the other boxes from the All Day 1/1 RC Patch auto case. It contained normal stuff, a nice Olsen patch auto, a Stanton Auto and a Rivers quad patch.
For those of you who missed my prediction, I said that Beckett was sent 4 boxes with a special note. The note explained which boxes to bust and which to save for the contest. They were sent the full case containing the AD 1/1 and a "special" box containing the two 1/1s (Payton/Piccolo cut, Tomlinson 1/1 base). Explanation can be found here.
If you still think this is all luck, I hate you. You make this hobby a shitty place. And dont you fucking say that this proves anything, because it doesnt prove shit. I just dont get the people who refuse to believe that they were had by the biggest bunch of assfaces in the industry. At the very least, when was the last time someone pulled three, yes three, 1/1's in a two boxes? The answer is never, because its fucking impossible. Whats even more suspect is why Beckett was sent the 4 boxes instead of the normal three boxes in a case of Exquisite. Gee, I wonder why?
Either way, Im done with this shit. You guys know how I feel. Ive already wasted too much space explaining this crap to the stupid people who dont know their ass from a hole in the ground. Fuck me.

Beckett is NOT Vindicated!

Believe it or not, I pulled two 1 of 1's from 2007 Finest.
ReplyDeleteAh, good times...
Oh come on, you love talking about it. Venting feels oh so good.
ReplyDeleteMario, you are still one short.
ReplyDeleteBesides, venting does feel good until you realize that no matter how much breath you waste, nothing will be changing.
That is, unless you work for DLP. Then, that is all you care about.
The labels ALONE are worth the trip, but then there's the venting and the irreverence and the funny. Hmph. This is a great blog.
ReplyDeleteI just hit a 2006 UD Rookie Debut Hot Box. This is the first time I have had "real" luck with a mid-range/high end product.
ReplyDeleteI am posting details of the box break at Topps Message Board:

Nothing will change man. The hobby will continue to die and who knows, maybe that's a good thing.
ReplyDeleteJust to put things into perspective a bit. I don't think the Hobby will ever die as long as there are people like us who were raised on sports cards and the Upper Deck started insert craze.
ReplyDeleteWe are all addicted to it like gambling. (Probably a reason I won't go to the Casino....I keep wanting to go for the "Big Win")
Here's something to cheer you up Gellman. Pepper Hastings no longer works at Beckett. Now if only "hack" ler would go the way of the dodo.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I would celebrate that day like it was my birthday!
ReplyDeleteHi Gellman
ReplyDeleteWell Congrats on getting married bad news for your collecting habits.
I have a dilemma with Beckett and Tuff Stuff. The problem is this and hear me out before you get mad.
I buy both magazines for the reason men buy Playboy the articles. I could care less about prices but the articles are pretty decent> The problem is am I damned by Gellman because I buy the mags or forgiven because of the reason I buy them. Thought you might like that pne .
Have fun,
Bill
dude, feel free to buy whatever you want. Just because I have sworn off those douchebags, doesnt mean I will have less respect for you if you dont. My goal is for people to look at them with open eyes rather than looking at them like infallible gods of the hobby.
ReplyDeleteWell I thought you might get a kick out of the Playboy article joke but seriously the question should be why does everybody believe those two mags are the end all be all of collecting. I can go on ebay and get most of those cards in Beckett and Tuff Stuff and pay like 10-20%. I just don't get those two mags.
ReplyDeleteAfter seeing some box breaks on youtube I thought what the hell. So I went to a local hobby shop and bought a box of 07/08 ultra basketball. This was the first box I had busted in almost 15 yrs. Now I remember why I quit collecting. Between insane box prices and a million and one inserts, I'm just tired of it. This whole beckett thing was really the last straw for me. Thanks for opening my eyes. Although I do miss the excitement of opening a pack, I will probably just buy singles on e-bay for a whole lot less than what those insider jagoffs at beckett tell you it's worth.
