Another Hand Seeded Product, Another Disgrace

Please do me a favor and check out the fucking pieces of shit over at Beckett's blog, watch the Razor video and sit back and fucking watch stupidity in action. I say stupidity, because you would have to be fucking retarded to post a video like that and not expect me to bring the pain all over again. At that point you just stick it in the "vault" and never let it see the light of day. Of course, Beckett is comprised of hundreds of arrogant fucks who think that only a "few people" dislike what they do, and therefore dont care if people think this is a scam of scams.

Now, in the video, they pull three cards out of three boxes that were PERSONALLY delivered by Brian Gray of Razor. They proceed to pull Pete Rose, Charlton Heston, and Lucille Ball (1/1), or three monster pulls out of a product chaulk full of unheard of actors and musicians. Three boxes, three great pulls, who would have guessed it right? Fuck that shit Mr. Gray, I hope your products fail like the shit they are.

I would challenge you to find people on this planet who have pulled as many monster pulls out of so few boxes than the cum dumpsters over at Beckett. Lets run down the new list after this box, and I will continue to add to it as they pull more whales. I say "when" because we all know they are arrogant and stupid enough to post more.

1. Vince Young Exquisite RC Patch Auto (Bigger pull out of the set at the time)
2. Joe Dimaggio Topps Sterling Jersey Cut Auto
3. Walter Payton/Brian Piccolo Dual Cut Exquisite Legends 1/1
4. Brady Quinn National Ridiculous Patch Auto 1/1
5. Adrian Peterson 1/1 Exquisite RC Patch Auto (Worth 5-8K)
6. Matt Ryan/Brian Brohm/Andre Woodson Triple Auto Rookie Progression (Best Card In Set?)
7. Charlton Heston Cut Auto Razor
8. Lucille Ball Cut Auto 1/1
9. Pete Rose Cut Auto
EDIT: 10. LaDanian Tomlinson Exquisite Base 1/1 (YES, the list is so long, I am beginning to forget cards)

How long will it be before we can no longer count the scams on two hands?

Seriously though, Im beginning to be more disgusted with their arrogance in these matters than the actual instances themselves. I mean the manufacturers are just as irresponsible. Its like Beckett just doesnt care why we think this is beyond awful, like they just dont understand how morally and ethically irresponsible it is to do what they do. They just assume that they are the number one source in the hobby, and because they are at the top they can fuck whoever they want to fuck. Since I am the only one who seems to present the evidence, it doesnt really go anywhere. I am small potatoes, I know that.

So, because I know that all the manufacturers read this blog, please, I implore you, talk to me for a few minutes before you send more boxes to these idiots. Send me an email and hear me out, hell, send an email to Mario at Wax Heaven, or Chris at Stale Gum, anyone - they will all tell you the same thing. We want this to end.

Its getting to the point where I may just say, "fuck all of you!" and start a petition just so you can
see how many people actually feel the way I do. Yes, 3,000 people may view your break on Beckett, but I can promise you that I can find JUST AS MANY people who will spit in your face.

The king of the douches may tell you that its only a few people because he is an arrogant disconnected fuck with no reason to tell you the truth, but I will not hesitate to spell it out. Fuck Beckett.

Another Comment On The Exquisite Golden Ticket Boxes

When Exquisite Basketball first came out, there was quite a buzz over the few people that got to go to UD HQ and package their own box. Per the rules, they were to pack a box that contained the same collation as a normal box, so obviously, no 5 logomen boxes were possible.

As far as I can tell, due to posts on message boards, this experience was a complete bust. There have been 2 boxes revealed, one box kept under lock and key for eternity, one sold with no report of what was in it, and a few others that were never posted about. Of those boxes, the one kept under lock and key was built by a collector who was not looking to make any money, but rather keep it for his massive exquisite collection. He paid around $8000 to get the coupon to go on the trip. Fine, whatever, ill get to this in a second.

The problem that I see with all of this was the deliberate and secretive plotting and scheming to help those people who wanted sell their boxes. From what has been revealed by the people on the trip, UD asked them to keep quiet until Exquisite hit the streets (understandable - no objection here), but the people took that to the Nth degree and I dont see why. Its like these people swore themselves to secrecy so some money grubbing "collectors" could make more money. That is bullshit, and the contents of the boxes are something that people should be able to find out, especially if they are purchasing the sealed boxes on eBay. Plus, if you were never going to sell the box, why dont you tell people what was in it? Inquiring minds would like to know, including myself, considering the junk that was in the two revealed boxes.

So far, the best cards out of these boxes were a Jordan/Bron dual auto /15 and an MJ Scripted Swatches /10. No logomen, no 1/1s. In fact, one person paid 6500 for the sealed box and pulled about 1000 in cards. That sucks. The fact that these boxes were allowed to sell, with the sellers knowing EXACTLY what was inside, is fucking crap. If the people who were there knew that the boxes were a duds, they had an ethical responsibility to say something. They didnt, and someone got screwed. Again, more proof that integrity in this hobby has no place. In my opinion, this secretive pact is just some bullshit way for greedy people to be more greedy, and for the collecting base to get screwed once more. I dont really know why this whole situation bugs me so much, but it just twinges those ethical bones in my body to the point of breaking.

To this day, only two of the boxes have been revealed, and the others are not surfacing despite all but one belonging to message board users and frequent posters. Its time to see what this experience brought, and I am looking at Upper Deck to tell us if the "collectors" wont. Hell, Beckett was there and they saw everything, possibly even building a box for one of the winners. Have they said anything? Fuck no, why would we expect any pertinent info from them? They never give it on anything else.
