KM - Just cause a Dimaggio photo is pictured, doesn't mean you'd get that or something that nice. You could wind up w/ a Luis Sojo 8x10.
Same goes w/ the graded card, bobble head etc... For $30 its not that much to gamble, but don't expect to hit the big payday...jay

Sorry what i meant is what company is putting this out? is it not a scam?

qualitycards · January 24, 2004 11:47AM

I'm sure its 100% legit, a marketing company assembled 1000 graded cards, 1000 signed pieces, 1000 bobbles, 1000 gu cards, and made 1000 4 item boxes. They entice the buyers w/ nicer items that will be distributed at random, so there is a chance to get a great item, but more then likey the items were factory over runs like the bobble heads, and they probably contacted show promoters that had excess of auto items etc... So at $30 or so a box, theres money to be made by them if they purchased right...jay

Thanks for all the help!!! other people on this board are so quick to not help and be sarcastic. i might take the 30$ gamble seems like you can break even at least!

KM - Glad I could help!
The thing about buying a batch like this and figuring you can at least "break-even" is that you will no doubt get items of value, but under ideal circumstances you'd never purchase these on your own.
Let say you got ....
Auto photo of Paul Blair
bobble head of Jason Kidd
graded card of Wizards rookie Jarvis Hayes
and a game used bat card of Mo Vaughn
if you were to look for these individually, it would probably exceed the $30, but I doubt you would ever buy these 4 items without the mystery of the grab bag box. And by the way, your 4 items may not be as good as the 4 examples that I just made up.
But if you have $30 to burn, its your call, you may hit the jackpot. Nowadays, some packs are $30.00. if you do take the plunge, let us know how it turns out...jay

Like i told other people i do own a store and part owner of a huge website! but cards is like gambling to me im starting to have a strange addiction to this stuff.

KM - Everythings a gamble...
Submitting cards to a grading company, as we've all rec'd lower (& hopefully) higher grades that we anticipate.
Everytime we order a meal out, we gamble that it will be cooked fresh, served hot and taste good.
Everytime I talk w/ my wife, I gamble we don't get into an argument etc.. etc.. etc..
