I am Winner, In Something

I was the lucky winner of this year's Gift-A-Cuffs-the box I picked up for the contest had two extra hits and was a foil hot box as well. I can tell you I ripped this box in about 15 minutes. I was wishing it was another foil hot box so I could go further in building it out. No need to have any suspense regarding this-it wasn't. Below I boiled down the break down of the Price box versus the Contest box which is the number in the parentheses. I can say had I paid $120 bucks for this I would have been ticked off. I think better to buy a retail box at $50.

The big difference other than the Foil Hot box was the two extra hits-the Dexter Fowler printing plate and the Bazooka back mini. It was interesting that the Prize box had more base card SPs. I liked pulling the auto but honestly I had to look him up, as I am not really much in to football-except for University of Michigan. Funny thing is that when I opened the pack with the auto I could see the brown of the frame peeking out and was so excited to see who it was. The last two GAC I pulled two women I really wanted and I was hopeful this too would be the case, alas no.

I don’t know about you all but I could use more parallels versus game used from less the exciting people.

I big thank you to Mark AKA the Comish and to Topps for the prize-
