Donruss Threads Baseball




I will let the videos speak for themselves, but let me describe the break this way just to prepare you:

"This break is like when you wake up in the morning and before you open your eyes you get excited because you remember you took home this hot chic from the bar and she is laying next to you in bed. Then you open your eyes, roll over for some hopefully good morning fun and you scream in horror. The girl lying next to you was not the one that you thought you were taking home. Horror! Absolute horror and you can't turn back." (for those female readers who might happen by, take the story and insert guy for "chic")

Part 1:



Part 2:



Part 3:



Here are the scans of the cards I would consider the 2 best of the break:






Here is the randomization video:



Oh and by the way. Cards are already packaged up and on their way to people's homes. Worked on Saturday and so I could take the afternoon off and did the break and have been busy getting the mail out and uploading the videos. Hope everyone enjoys their cards.

    Wow, that blows on the first box, make sure to contact customer service and they should send you a new box for the damage and the shortage. God, I hate that.

    The Mays is AWESOME, congrats to whoever got that!

    This product was a huge let down for me. I had 5 hits in a box I bought, but I also had damaged cards and a ton of doubles. Thanks for doing the break. I look forward to the next one.

    I had bought a box of this crap, and actually got six hits in the one box, but 5 of them were crappy prospect autos. My thought is that if you are going to go through all the time getting aaron, mays, and joe jackson relics in your product don't dilute the product with these shitty autos, i mean come on. And getting one hit in a box is completely unacceptable, they really need to do something about this.

    That first box was craptastic, but at least it produced that Shoeless Joe DK. I am stoked about the Mays!

    I have opened a box of threads football, gridiron gear football and after having watched this break, I am so not impressed with Donruss products this year. The Mays jersey was nice but the doubles, the terrible autos, the questionable jerseys lead me to believe that Donruss was out to make as much money as possible on their products without regard to having a repeat customer base for next year.

    I can't complain about this, considering I got an Auto, a couple of RCs, and a fair number of inserts, including a Tony Gwynn /25.

    I'm curious...who had the Rangers? I'd like to talk to you about those 3 Ryan cards when they show up ;)

    Houstoncollector - I had the Rangers and I'd be happy to work something out with you. I'll just have to check the BV first. (Just kidding)

    To whoever got that Mays card - I'll give you ALL 4 Johny Pesky base cards I got for that 1 Mays. I don't see how you can turn that down.

    Thanks Double H for doing the break. I know it was dissappointing, but you win some and you lose some. Maybe Donruss will see it and send you another box or something. Also thank you for throwing in your own pulls to even out the boxes. The short wasn't your fault (obviously) so it was unnecessary, but it is very much appreciated.

    (Is it OK to call you Double H? I think it sounds kind of cool, but maybe it's too much like that wrestler guy.)

    Nice job but dang quit rubbing your fingers all over the jersey cards. Its kinda creepy and if it were mine I would not like it.

    Motherscratcher- Double H is fine....I am not a stickler with my names (I am thinking about changing it to "The Creeper" in honor of "J"'s comments)

    J- I am a creep. Okay I am kidding. You are right and I would probably be the same way since I am a stickler for my cards. I can't remember if I did it with the prospect card or not, but the Mays jersey was so intriguing because I haven't seen a material like that. I apologize and from now on guarantee to keep my fingers only on the edges of the cards to shuffle, etc and to point out horrible damage if there is some. Thanks for the input as I do what everyone to be satisfied with the experience.

    To everyone. I am not sure what I am breaking next but I do know that it will be a football product and run on the higher end (I plan to rotate between $25-45 per slot and then a break running between $10-25 per slot). I will have the new break post sign-up and product info up sometime this week (probably on Thursday---possibly tomorrow)

    Oh and "J" the "Creeper" comment in response to Motherscratcher was a joke also...just having fun with the comment because it made me chuckle (just using the term creepy...made me laugh for some reason). (Made me think of it like being a "card molestor" or something.
