Cardfest Day 9 Recap

Ok, so I think the majority of the rest of the break shouldn't be AS time consuming (save for the Revolution 16 box master case of course) as a lot of the product left don't have a ton of cards per box outside of Archives Baseball. We're going to start with this for today


To be honest I have no clue what to expect here. I probably don't know 95% of the subjects in this product. I just bought it to get some prospects cards to possibly stash and 8 autos per box sounded like a good deal. Let's see what's inside

I think I did decent, but not really sure. The Hoerner is actually a solid card from what I've seen and what they sell for. It's actually a good enough card to make my top 10 pulls. It seems like Nova and Seigler could have some potential, and Wander Franco is a popular name and though I only pulled a mem card of his, it's still cool to have. We'll see down the line how this break pans out.

Cards are cool looking, but very underwhelming break. Obviously, if you're only getting a box or two of any product, there's a good chance you'll strike out so to speak. Cool to  get a low numbered framed parallel (which the autos look SHARP, just wrong players) but the players leave a lot to be desired. Ah well, onto the next one!






Next up is Bowman High Tek, basically Topps Tek but more geared towards prospects.

Another cards are cool but terrible break value wise.  The different patterns can get quite confusing as well. I'm hoping Topps Tek is a way better break than this was.







Alright, so the next break might be a slight more lengthier since it's the traditional 24 pack per box. It's 2018 Topps Archives.

Sandlot Auto
Wendy Peffercorn

Archives is always a fun little break. Don't expect much autograph wise since it's full of lower tier "fan favorites" but I got lucky to pull an auto of the actress who played Wendy Peffercorn in one of the greatest baseball movies ever made, The Sandlot. This was a big selling point of Archives, as it's the Sandlot's 25th anniversary and they included autos of most of the cast. I pulled a photo variation of Kris Bryant as well, and although they are considering case hits, they don't sell too well. The Peffercorn auto is definitely a Top 5 pull of Cardfest now. Here's pics of the cards!









So after 4 straight baseball products, it's time to swing back into Basketball. We're getting down to the nitty gritty so to speak as I believe we have about 8 more products to go through which includes the 16 box master case of Revolution. Here's what's next on deck


Hoping to pull a sweet Luka!

The problem sometimes with holding product to rip, is you buy way too early and the product ends up flopping and going down. Case in point, certified, I bought my boxes on presell and they were around $90 a box. Now? About $70. $20 difference and the secondary market shows for it. I did pull two Luka Base cards, and I do like the cards. Most of the autos were lower level junk, but I pulled my first Collin Sexton auto (and surprisingly this on card auto doesn't even sell for $10!) and the Lonnie Walker IV Patch/Auto is SUPER sweet looking. That could be a sleeper cards if he realizes his potential with the Spurs. Overall though, not too good and definitely looking back a regrettable purchase. Should've waited to buy this stuff. Pics of the cards and that will do it for Day 9!  We're almost getting to the end!
