Cardfest Day 10 Recap

I think I'll be able to knock out everything but the master case of Revolution today. The only lengthy break I see coming is the 2 boxes of Bowman Draft Jumbo. Let's get started! We're going to start with a product that I've already opened in the Cardfest alone on two different instances. It's also our first football product since opening a variation of this product Christmas Day.

 

We've opened the collector boxes and the blasters already, it's now time for the FOTL Hobby Boxes. Should be a short and sweet break with only 6 cards per box. Really hoping I pull a nice exclusive rookie out of here!

It was short...but not that sweet. Football is always a tough product to break..just soooooooooo many terrible rookie autographs. The Chubb Auto is the highlight of the break, and that's really not saying a ton. The Josh Allen Purple Stars parallel is cool too. The other autos outside of possibly Jaylen Samuels...GROSS. The type of players where parallels don't matter because they sell for crap regardless of numbering.

Josh Stowers (#70/150)

This was a VERY time consuming break, knocking out basically the whole day. Just like Elite Extra Edition, this is a wait and see kind of product with a ton of speculation on these prospects. From my brief, limited research the Stowers and Larnach aren't too bad of pulls.  The Larnach will at this time end up a Top 10 pull for Cardfest as it sells in the $40-$50 range. We'll see what happens with these guys down the road.

Autographs Blue Parallel
Walker Buehler (#30/75)
Whit Merrifield (#16/75)

This was one of the most confusing, headache inducing breaks I've ever had. I did not enjoy it one bit and will never break High Tek again. Wayyyyy too many patterns and backgrounds within patterns to deal with. The only thing that could've saved this break were the hits and NOPE that didn't happen at all. This is the 3rd Buehler auto I've pulled during Cardfest (along with Jack Flaherty, tied for most) and he's not a BAD rookie to pull, but damn, would it kill anyone if I pulled a higher end name? Very disappointed to say the least.

And now the next 4 products are basically SUPER hit or miss. 

 

Now I didn't do TOO bad last go around with this stuff. Pulled a Pedro Jumbo Patch Auto and a Gary Sanchez Green auto. Let's hope for similar luck.

LUKA DONCIC (#6/25)

So did Absolute deliver?? ABSOLUTELY IT DID! THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT! After a huge lull, we FINALLY a BIG card!!! That Luka is A HUGE PULL and it's such a great looking card! I needed that pick me up big time as it wasn't looking too good! Obviously the new #1 card pull for Cardfest and it's going to be TOUGH to beat, especially with only 3 more products left. Pics of the cards!

 

 

 

 

 

 

So, I'm actually going to end the day on a GOOD note and not press my luck since I'll doubt I'll top the Luka tonight. I'll save Playbook and Immaculate for tomorrow and also the Revolution case. WHAT A DAY!!
