this is much better than not selling Box A and being in the hole for $100
Exactly Steel and thank you RichieRich14 for pointing that out.....like he said some boxes sell higher then others.....I get a case for under 2K now...sell the mystery packs for $400...then get a Mantle and Bonds which is $500....then get a SP which sells for $200-300...and then simple guys like Arod or Pujols I get $200 for also...as well I have a lot of people who buy my stuff off ebay so for each case I buy for under 2K...I reg get $2100-2200 average for each case.....I have completely sold 8 cases and working on the other 13 which most are gone already...reason I am getting 4 more on Tuesday...

So you dont open any of the boxes yourself? You just open the cases and sell the boxes and mystery packs? That's no fun

My local shop had this whole Sterling sell booklet. Some of those cards look ridiculous! Hopefully, the actual product looks as nice. Although, there it stated only 5 autos/case. They guarantee a 1/1 per case but hopefully there will NOT be printing plates...but I guess for this product that may be ok as it only contains superstars.

Say you pull a huge box, like a Ruth. Do you sell the box or bust it? I know the box will sell for more, but the cards also have to sell high, is it worth the chance?

Or do you start busting the other boxes to weed out the case hits to see if the Ruth contains one?
