    Just give us the details.

    Thanks.

    im getting a bad link

    Fixed it now. Suffice it to say I hope the guy is a Jessie Winker fan. For those who can't pull the link, it's a box of Bowman Sterling (18 autos in the box) and 17 of them are of Jessie Winker. Oops in the old quality control department.

    You could go to Ebay and buy those same 17 Winker cards for less than it'd cost to buy the unopened box.

    I know... I DEMAND that I'm able to sell the contents of every box I open for MORE than the cost of the unopened box! I would never buy an unopened box for more than I could sell the contents for on eBay! image

    Oh wow this guy is from Orlando.

    Nice to see a local guy get drafted in the 1st round.

    He might have done better than any other box though, looked like auto's and refractors in every pack. They HAVE to be worth more than base cards

    Not sure how much the box cost but 17 base Winker autos would net you about $170 after fees on eBay.

    Try $100 more than that.

    Is it me or is the guy man-handling these cards?

    Personally I would be ecstatic more than disappointed. Thats if it was a personal box. Autos for Winker are going anywhere from a buck to $20, depending.

    During the first pack when he said out loud that there was a redemption card, what was up with him taking the cards out of the camera shot before "squeezing" the name of the redemption?

    I realize he may have been grabbing another card to cover the redemption for the "squeeze" effect, but still it would have bothered me that the card went off screen before revealing the name.

    The guy is pissed because he personally didn't pick Winker's team for the group break. Wonder if his response would have been different at all if he picked Winkers team?

    Yeah, he did that a few times, skipping over the top card immediately to expose the Winker cards. But he never named off some of the cards. I dont know if he was shooting for dramatic effect with the redemption card or if he was swapping it. Also someone off screen said dont open anymore packs. I think I understand the gamble - you buy a team, regardless of what you get, you get all Reds cards. So someone won 17 Winker autos. Needless to say I would have been upset if they stopped opening the box and those were my Winkers. LOL (that can go in the wrong direction real quick).
