Unopened boxes

BigRedMachine

Several years ago I bought a blaster box and decided not to open it.

Today, I bought my 35th. I'll get bored some night and go crazy, but for now I like the display.






















It's my Poor Man's Griffin's collection!!

My daughter topped it off with my own sign.

This picture makes me think of Bill(lsutiger). Standing beside BBCE at the National he started twitching like a crack addict needing a fix because he wanted to bust some wax.

Think of all the redemption cards that are about to expire in those boxes. Nothing like hitting a great item and then not being able to redeem it. Now get ripping. Oldest stuff first.

Steve actually allowed me to use his computer behind the counter at National. I had to type with one hand and sit on the other hand so I wouldn't be tempted to "accidentally" rip a few packs while I was in there.

Umm...Bill, that was you in your hotel room giving yourself a stranger

I got in the habit of buying two of everything. I would open one and keep the other.

I realize the odds of a big hit are slim in these retail boxes, but at least the possibility exists. If I wasn't so unlucky, I'd get to busting. This way, at least in my mind, my boxes have a big hit in there somewhere. I just figured I'd look later.

Even when I open a box, I usually save one pack to display...............














Hanging stuff on my wall gives my wife something to complain about too.

Jesus, This thread makes me want to rip something.

Here is a quick snapshot from my inventory room showing my shelf with some boxes. Most are crappy early 90s boxes not worth opening...maybe 15 or so 1991 FB boxes that I picked up for almost nothing....but have Favre RC's waiting inside for me.

that is exactly how and why my pack and empty wax box collection started!

It's a preemptive strike- gives them something to focus on instead of something you don't want to hear about!

Holy crap Shawn!

That makes you a "Master Blaster!"

"This Blaster! Twenty (boxes) enter, only him leave!"

You've inspired me!

I have to confess, I still have unopened 90s stuff in the closet!!!

I'm saving it to burn when the earth freezes over.

You know one of these days when your time on this Earth is over and you go to that "Great Card Show in the Sky." Wouldn;t you hate to leave behind unopened boxes of cards for someone else to rip?
