Box/Pack Breaks: 4 Boxes of 2019 FOTL Diamond Kings Baseball and 8 Packs of White Sparkle Prizm Football




 
So we end this weekend of breaking with two more breaks. First off 2019 Diamond Kings FOTL Baseball. I usually go for most FOTL products and even though Baseball is the least desirable because of the non license, I had a blast opening Diamond Kings last year so I was in for this year's too. You get 1 numbered auto to 10 or less and 1 memorabilia card to 10 or less in each box. I've seen some pretty solid stuff pulled so far. Hoping for the best.

Overall Thoughts: Another fun break! Value wise, yeah nothing gigantic, but tons of inserts, and I really love the Verlander quad patch and Auto/Patches of Boggs and Smoltz. I don't have autos of them so those are definitely staying in the PC. The Corbin is cool as it features a button as well. I have no clue who Myles Straw or Luis Ortiz are, and looking from past sales, they aren't that great, but nonetheless a fun break. Pics of the cards

 
 
 
 
 
 
 

And now it's time for the final break of the weekend
 

High risk, high reward. These are the Panini Prizm White Sparkle Football Packs. They were available via Panini Direct. $50 a pack and you only get 3 cards per pack. The big draw here would be to get one of the better rookies, Baker, Darnold, Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, Saquon as the cards are supposed to have a print run of 20 or less. Also there's a small chance at #1/1 White Sparkle Autos. This could be very brutal for sure. So here we go


Vets Patrick Mahomes
Ezekiel Elliott
Joey Bosa
Mike Evans
C.J. Mosley
Melvin Gordon
Devin Funchess
Ryan Tannehill
Jameis Winston
Jerick McKinnon
Marquette King
Quincy Enunwa
Kareem Hunt
Vontaze Burfict
Jay Ajayi
Geno Atkins

Rookies
Saquon Barkley RC
Sony Michel RC
Jaire Alexander RC
Mike Hughes RC
Deontay Burnett RC
Kalen Ballage RC
Carlton Davis RC
Dylan Cantrell RC

Overall Thoughts: FOR ONCE THE OLD ADAGE SAVE THE BEST FOR LAST COMES TRUE!!! What...a break!!! If you're going to hit a vet, it might as well be the reigning MVP of the league, Patrick Mahomes who's on FIRE cardwise. Plus a little PC action with the Zeke and yes I hit a SAQUON!!!! To finish the break off I even hit Sony Michel who's a great rookie to hit as well!! A great way to end this weekend worth of breaks!! The Barkley is a sure fire Top 5 pull, and even the Michel might end up on the list, depending on what I can get for it. Very happy to say the least with this because at only 3 cards per pack and a 300 card set...it's very easy to get murdered on this stuff!!! Pics of the cards!!

  1. A ton of great cards and a good pull. The 300 cards stick out though all the Diamond King look pretty good. Congrats on the football pull. Such a thrill when it could easily go South on you.

    1. Definitely..its a little nerve wrecking to open 3 card $50 packs knowing its a big 300 card set. Thanks!
