Finally pulled the trigger on a box of National Treasures...

rj.cataldo · 05-09-2013, 01:22 AM

I have been resisting the urge to bust a box of 2012 National Treasures for quite a while now. While I do bust a decent amount of wax, I usually prefer to put more money into singles. However sometimes, buying singles just doesn't match the fun of busting, so today I caved and bought a box that just came in to my LCS.

As I suspected, the box was FAR from paying for itself, but I certainly think I could have done a lot worse. Pulls are as follows:

Base:
Brandon Marshall /99
Warren Moon /99
Tiki Barber /25

Autos/Jerseys:

Joe Adams NFL Gear /49
Ed Too Tall Jones Jersey /99
Lance Briggs jersey /25
Matt Kalil Pro Bowl Colossal Star Patch /4
Juron Criner Auto RC /49
Lance Dunbar Auto RC /99
Joe Flacco Auto Jersey /25
Mohammad Sanu RPA redemption /99
Robert Turbin RPA /49

So I ended up getting two RPA autos in one box, unfortunately they both sucked. So maybe all in I took about a $300 hit, but it was worth a shot.

All cards will be FT/FS, however I will be traveling for 2 weeks so I likely wont be able to complete any deals for some time.

Doesnt look too bad to me. Turbin doesnt suck either.. The patch is the butt end of the seahawks logo. Not the best but pretty good.

I'd like to Buy/Trade for the TurbinPM me when you get back and Lets make a deal

Its not bad man. I have totally seen worse!

jumbogorilla · 05-09-2013, 12:48 PM

if selling lmk on the dunbar.

truchatterbox · 05-09-2013, 12:52 PM

not bad at all could have been far worse, trust me I have busted them lol

rj.cataldo · 05-09-2013, 12:55 PM

Thanks guys. Like I said, I could have definitely done worse. I don't think that Turbin sucks as a player, I just think from a value perspective hes hurt because he's behind Lynch (for now). I leave on Monday, for a two week trip, however I am getting married this weekend so I will have limited availability to message back to people. If anyone is interested let me know and I can have the card shipped out by Sunday if the deal is completed before then.

Could you let me know a price on the sanu? Thanks man and congrats on the marriage!

BoxBreaker72 · 05-09-2013, 01:27 PM

Not a bad break.

The problem is the singles just aren't doing that well on the secondary market. They need to find a way to release this product in December. Just imagine how hot some of these cards would get IN SEASON.

Congrats on getting married!!! I'm getting married at the end of June myself. I am interested in the dunbar and turbin lmk if you like anything or what price you are looking at. Congrats again man!!!

Jayrod16 · 05-09-2013, 04:08 PM

Let me know in the flacco

Oilngo · 05-09-2013, 04:41 PM

I'd hold onto the Sanu, they are really high on him and plan on using him a lot.

Cubsbball25 · 05-12-2013, 02:04 AM

I'd take a price on the Sanu whenever you get a chance. Thanks

badsims · 05-12-2013, 10:26 AM
