1 Box of 2008 Donruss Threads - George Brett!

MrOpinion · 01-13-2010, 01:09 PM

Today I broke a box of 2008 Donruss Threads at my LCS (i sure have been breaking a lot recently...I should slow down)...I love the product for what it is, and for '4 hits', I think it's a decent buy. I love it when I beat the odds though. Makes it that much more worth it

Engel Beltre AUTO /465
Josh Tomlin AUTO /875
Brian Friday AUTO /1249
Emilio Bonifacio AUTO /1874
REDEMPTION for Matt Mitchell AUTO /240
Diamond Kings Materials #17 Drew Cumberland/ 250

My parallels were almost all Diamond Kings as well!
Century Proof Silver #22 Bob Feller /100
Century Proof Green #19 Tom Seaver /250
Diamond Kings #57 Rick Porcello
Diamond Kings Framed Red #6 Josh Vitters /100
Diamond Kings Gold #29 Bobby Doerr /100
Diamond Kings Silver #38 George Brett /250

Not only did I get a nice George Brett DK Parrallel, I pulled this...

Jerseys Prime #27 George Brett /25

No book value, so I have no idea what I want for it (not sure if I'm keeping it or not)...I just wanted to show it off.

I'll have scans of everything else up later tonight.

Nice break! Congratulations! Its a good product for the money and its true when you beat the odds, it sure does feel like a victory!

Very nice! With 6 hits, is this box just heavy on the hits, or would this be considered the hot box?

The product info says the following:

PER BOX ITEMS:
4 Autographs or Memorabilia Cards with at least two autographs
1 Green Century Proof
1 Century Stars
1 Century Legends
1 Diamond King

And 6 Others of the following:
Parallels
Generations
Century Stars
Century Legends
Dynasty
College Greats
Diamond Kings

Soooo....comparing to my Box I got:
4 Autos + 1 Redemption Auto + 2 GU = 7 Auto/GU
1 Green Century Proof
1 Century Star (pete rose)
1 Century Legend (Carl Yastrzemski)
1 Base Diamond King

Then Throw in:
2 College Greats (Seaver and Fred Lynn)
4 Additional Diamond Kings (3 parallel'd)
1 Silver Century Proof (Feller)
1 Baseball Americana /500 (Eddie Murray)

I don't know if it's a Hot Box, but it's still darn good!
