Pre-order price is about $2400 direct from blowoutcards. So it is really $240 a box, and with a jumbo patch per case (in the mystery packs) that will get you a nice penny. Then the junk boxes get you $100 per box, the mid level players get you $200, legends $300, CMG guys prob $400, and then the Ruth which I will speculate at $2,500
Its gonna be a good start to the new year, planning on pre-ordering a lot of cases.

So this price range for a case is definately good based on your math. The other point that was made about some of the "junk" boxes are of players that have never been in the product, they might sell for more than we think. To me a Mattingly, Munson, or any yankee box is a big hit so that will lessen my odds of what I think is a junk box.

Check my updated post above...If I did it correctly we have 19 new players.

No clue....who are the CMG guys?

And I may have gotten 0 Seavers, but I also barely got any Morneaus, and I think I got 26 Mantles in those cases, a lot of Ted Willaims and Joe D....I did pretty good on my cases.....but still have like 10 Ichiro and like 8 Tony Gywnn and Car Yastremski that im having problems getting rid of.

[JasonH]

This is the list of cmg guys that are in this years sterling:
Jackie Robinson
Ty Cobb
Thurman Munson
Roy Campanella
Rogers Hornsby
Lou Gehrig
Cy Young
Mel Ott
Jimmie Fox
Honus Wagner

I would say they will pick one or two guys from the 38 total and say they are gauranteed in each case
