I had to order some supplies from blowoutcards to make sure that I had the right toploaders for the 2 Boxes of National Treasures we will be busting Friday evening (coming from AtlantaSportsCards) and so I decided to throw in 2 Tins of 2007 Sweet Spot which were on special for $45 a tin. I really like the Sweet Spot helmet autos and was hoping to get an AP. Well I decided to video it Thursday afternoon and scan the highlights and give a review of the 2 boxes. Here you go!
Overall, I have to be very happy with the 2 tins I got. I have seen some brutal tins and so to have Peyton Manning in one tin and Brady Quinn in the other is very nice. The way I figure it I probably got my money's worth in actual value on this break. I am guessing I could make almost my money back in sale values on the Manning and Quinn and then the other might push me to even or slightly over. The Inflated Book Value's of the Manning and Quinn are $100 and $120 (High Prices) respectively so in those terms it would be a great return, but we all know that isn't happening. Either way this is the first Peyton Manning auto I have every pulled for myself (I have one other Manning Auto from 2001 Upper Deck that I bought last spring the day of the draft that is one of my favorite cards) and also my first Quinn auto for myself so I am very happy.

Can you believe this clown is quoting Book Values. Get with the 21 century dude :)
ReplyDeleteSeriously pretty nice pulls - Quinn has gone for 44 on a certain auction site recently and there may be some upside that makes it worth holding onto.
Cool player auto's, ugly-ass cards. Sweet Spot baseball is pretty nice, but the football is just lame. Not a big fan of the "mini-helmet" autos. Looks like something you would pull out of a box of cereal or a Happy Meal. At least you got a couple of good players. Kudos on the pulls.

Wife loses job, you buy cards. Good to see where your priorities are at.

ReplyDeletetruth is that I am a beckett spy who was sent to destroy SCU by slowly implementing book value quotes, etc.... (I do really like the Quinn and as much as I know it won't happen, I hope he somehow gets traded to the Purple and Gold tomorrow)

ReplyDeleteI actually really like the Helmets and the incorporation of the player image makes it nice in my opinion. But I can understand not being a big fan also.

ReplyDeleteIt might help if you read who the author or the post is.

Glad to see you are coming here Senor Anonydouche. I love people like you. You come here, you read everything, and the anger grows. Then, instead of acting on NON-youtube impulses and leaving, you decide to actually take the time to leave a comment. You are awesome, you are the reason I do this. I love that you think you are doing the cool thing by trying to make a funny comment, but really you just look like a complete jackass with your epic fail. Nice.
ReplyDeleteI opened several tins of 07 Sweet Spot and never got anything that cool. Lucky! Nice stuff though.
ReplyDeleteNice pulls man! If you're interested in trading the Quinn email me.
ReplyDeleteAs for the person slamming the cards: they are actually pretty darn cool in person. I didn't care for them in pictures, but I ended up trading for one and I think it's awesome. If anything, our hobby needs that type of creativity.
Sorry, wasn't paying attention. I was calling my wife.....at her work.

ReplyDeleteI bought a couple of boxes of 2005 Sweet Spot Football a couple of years ago at a good price. I love the Sweet Spot Baseball, but the football version does not impress me. I pulled a Maurice Clarette helmet auto, a Reggie Brown helmet auto, and a redemption card for a Carnell Williams helmet auto and was underwhelmed. I could have pulled a Brady helmet auto and not felt much better. I think they look stupid. It's a paint pen auto on a chunk of plastic. Might as well have been a manufactured jersey patch auto. Just my opinion. To each their own, yada, yada.

way to go on your break man ... i swear i opened the exact same tin way back when i pulled my quinn because i have the same TJ auto also ... NICE JOB
ReplyDeleteGellman, you have serious anger issues. Maybe you should jerk off more often. 10 times a day doesn't seem to be working for you.
ReplyDeleteDick, 10 times doesnt even begin to cover my anger issues. Of course, coming from a guy who actually took the time to type that out, well, maybe you think about me jerking off a little too much.
ReplyDeleteGellman, I'm just a concerned citizen, trying to do my part for humanity. Or in your case, subhumanity. And this is the thanks I get!
