you're missing the point. does your ONE CASE reflect the overall case breaks for the entire print run?

No it doesn't. so just because YOUR case was good or a handful of other other case breaks on here were good doesn't mean the product "breaks well".

thats misrepresentation.

thats pulling a freakin newdoug for christ sakes. give me a f'kin break

Bohica read his post again. At the very end he says "So we were very lucky."

I agree that the value is just not there in the product, but no need to go off on jbs about what he posted.

doesn't change a thing. they were lucky - yes. so were a few people. but my main gripe remains -a site like scn cannot and should not make comments like "TTT will be a good break" when we all know its not.

Yea and also the guy before said he doesn't know anybody who made ahead of the case, well people who get good 1/1 cards that pay for the case do. You have to remember, that for high end products if you do not get 1 huge card, your case will get you back 50% if you are lucky. Look at UD products, they stink. I still agree with this post, this product will go down to $2600 at blowoutcards (which has a sell for under $2700 this week as they are panicking) and once everything dried up and there are lots of those good 1/1s missing the case will go up to 3K. 2007 Topps Sterling price dropped like crazy cause all of the hot 1/1s and bat barells were gone in a few months, unless in the first couple of months all of the hots cards are pulled, then once the big guys start running out of these cards, and fleabay stops getting polluted with a lot of TTT auctions, it will go back up.
Remember this is a hobby, name 1 product where when you bust the case it yeilds a profit? None of them do, a good case is something that gives you over 50% of your money back and on a good break you get your money back and on a sweet pull you make up for a couple of cases.

And I agree with that, every single word. But JBS was not trying to make a representative statement about the product. He was simply stating that they got a good case and got lucky. See what I'm saying?

i stand corrected (i read things a lot differently)...but im still going to bitch and moan about these reports when the complete picture is not painted for everyone.

Agreed. I think I have seen one of these that were actually useful and that one wasn't even worth reading the whole thing.

Nearly all set building products can yield a profit by busting a few cases. There are tons of products out there that will get you more than 50% back every time. I think the Topps Sterling is starting to get to your head...

its all I think about and like you said about set building products, this is a high end product, so you have to throw out all set building products and stick to high end products, now what yeilds atleast 50% back on high end products?

[otmack2o]

Ahh, the stipulations have changed... OK, how about Bowman Sterling? Is that high end to you?
