So 2 "Random Boxes" of Equisite Football were given to Beckett directly from Upper Deck
And 2 of the BEST pulls came from those to so called "Random Boxes"
Watch the reaction of the guy on the right, almost like he "Knew" it was going to be there

    I was just reading of this over on the Beckett board. I'm not interested in watching the video but I'm aware of the hits. Did they say that the boxes were given to them by UD or are they claiming that they were randomly selected at a random hobby shop?

    The 2 best possible cards were "randomly" pulled from 2 boxes giving to beckett directly by Upper Deck.

    I watched about half of it? From the little I watched I also think it looks fake and I just got to card #2. They pull like an Adrian Peterson signed jersey RC 1 of 1 and no one acts excited? I pull a normal base Peterson RC and I am like "Cool, Peterson!"

    Doesn't look right.

    Idiots are sliding those cards around on the table. Idiots.

    Upper Deck knows exactly what is in the boxes they are giving to Beckett.

    In 2004, I had the good fortune to be in a card shop when the Upper Deck rep came by to talk to the owner. This shop did quite a bit of business in new wax. There were 4 customers in the store at the time, and the Upper Deck rep went back to his vehicle and came back with a box (4 packs) of SP Game Used Football and handed out a pack apiece to the customers.

    It was a hot box - everyone got a pretty big hit. Mine was an Eli Manning rookie #/425.

    The "promotional samples" are always going to be better than random boxes.

    This one just got out of control.
