Default Donruss Celebrity Cuts

I have 2 boxes arriving today. I am split on if I should open them or just recoup the money, I paid and resell. I ordered them, then thought maybe this isn't a good break.

Any thoughts on what to do?

This stuff is crap. Don't open it. Resell.

But I am biased because I only bought one box and got roasted

Not a huge investment for 2 boxes.

I would open them and take a chance. Good Luck.

I opened 3 boxes. The first box I bought I pulled a 1/1 Auto of Lindsay Wagner which sold for like $70. I thought I did good so I bought another 2 boxes down the road. First of the two I pulled a Ricardo Montalbon Auto Letterman that sold for $50. The second was a total dud. Sooo out of $350+ I spent on the 3 boxes I made maybe $150. I wouldn't open it but you might get lucky. That is the thrill of ripping.....

Thinking you need to hit an auto or dual/triple from either the cast of Star Wars or Star Trek to make any loot on these breaks.

Thats the problem. I've got an itchy rip finger. I keep telling myself and the LCS Owner that I want to save up for a few boxes of The Cup but I can't wait that long and need to rip.

Don't forget. I will be ripping 3 cases of The Cup come late July(too bad I won't be able to keep anything.......unless we hit a Marty) Even though I may have to invest in a box from my LCS before release to test the waters......lol
