I joined a buddy’s break just before Christmas. He’s an up-and-comer on Whatnot, and he always breaks a hobby box or two of the latest products. Because he’s a fairly small streamer, his breaks always go for great value (check out @bigapplebrkszn if you’re interested).
I bought into a break that had a 24 Bowman Draft Jumbo and a 24 Topps Chrome Update Sapphire box. Chasing my teams, and I landed two of em (Angels & Giants) on random team spins. Paid around $35 each. Went in one last time and landed on the Reds for $38.
The Draft box served me very well. I hit Chase Burns and Christian Moore refractors, and TWO James Tibbs autos, a base and a green refractor, out of the same box!
Already happy with the break, I wasn’t expecting much out of the Topps Sapphy box, given my teams. With only one auto, the chances that it would be the biggest chase (Elly) amongst my teams was rare.
Although I didn’t hit the auto, I definitely hit the nuke outta the box: a rookie debut Elly card to /5! Merry Christmas to me!
