Fourth Of July Box Breaks: 4 Boxes of 2018 Stadium Club and 2 Boxes of 2018 Museum Collection Baseball

 

Got my Stadium Club order in yesterday afternoon and my Museum Collection order in Monday. Considering I doubt I'll have any time to open any product this week (we're having a big family gathering this weekend) I figured July 4th would be the perfect day to open some baseball boxes, especially since I'm off for the day. As to what to expect...who honestly knows. The volatility of my luck has been all over the place so I'm not even going to try to make a prediction. Here's hoping for the best though! We'll start with Stadium Club

Overall Thoughts: It's been a while since I've been able to say this but this was a..mediocre to average break. The break actually started off pretty awesome as the first two boxes yielded a case hit Judge (Beam Team Red Foil) a Members Only Parallel, a Super Short Printed Photo Variation of Cal Ripken Jr. (They sell really well), A couple Ohtani Base Rookies plus an Ohtani Red Foil Parallel, A Instavision case hit of Buster Posey, and a Gold Minted Refractor of Freddie Freeman. As great as those two boxes were, the last two were equally as bad. Not to mention all the auto pulls were terrible, but that's expected because Stadium Club has such a long checklist of scrubs for their autos. In fact in the 3 years I've bought Stadium Club, I don't think I've pulled one decent auto. Overall though, still a fun break as the photography is AWESOME. I'll show a sample of some of the base cards. Museum Collection will be a much more riskier break coming up. Here's pics of the cards

Overall Thoughts: And Museum Collection is enough to sink this break from mediocre to average to crap. Gross break. The Albies is OK and the Felix Patch is cool looking..but for the price it was pretty bad. So we're back to shitty luck looks like. Look at the Museum Collection cards
