2009 Topps UFC Round 1 Box Rip

bunt · October 18, 2013 10:02AM

Hoping this doesn't turn in to a lesson in futility as this box cost some money ! We'll see Sunday when the box, and I, get ripped while watchng Talledega, football and hopefully game 7's in baseball. Wish me luck dpeck and wrestling card king ! If I get some good stuff I might have to get some more history and dive in to what I previously mocked - those cards you have with very large half naked ugly men on them. Ha HA.

wrestlingcardking · October 18, 2013 10:35AM

I'd start ripping now!

SumoMenkoMan · October 18, 2013 10:52AM

Concur! Good luck!

Dboneesq · October 18, 2013 10:55AM

Board Rule is as follows: If you intend to RIP a box, it must commence with 90 minutes of posting the box.

ReggieCleveland · October 18, 2013 12:19PM

Tough box. Good luck.

bunt · October 19, 2013 1:05AM

Had to open 1 pack. The Herb Dean card is thick like a memorabilia card, but no memorabilia on it ! In checking the pop report not many cards graded of this and I can't locate UFC stuff in the onlnie price guide anywhere. Will have to get some of this graded and myabe build a base set.

I don't recognize the names below but am thinkin' any one of these guys could probably beat my *ss in well.. 1 second ?

Dboneesq · October 19, 2013 1:29AM

Bunt ... just an FYI ... when I opened a 2010 box, in addition to receiving that Georges St Pierre Octagon chip/card that I showed in the other thread, I also received 5 of those thicker cards you mentioned. ("The Herb Dean card is thick like a memorabilia card, but no memorabilia on it.") I know there were 5 packs in the box, but not sure if it was 1 per pack or not.

bunt · October 19, 2013 3:52AM

thanks Dboneessq - it's looking like one thick card per pack. The Josh Koscheck gold card here is one. They probably have 1 in each pack to mask the packs with real memorabilia from pack searchers. I like that medal card you got - hoping those are in here.

At least I've heard of Royce Gracie in this pack. And LOOK, a chick card ! and she ain;t so hot

What dpeck said on another thread about these guys coming and going every couple years is important. There really aren't any that last more than a few years with this right ?

sportscardstop · October 19, 2013 3:58AM

That's a bad pic of her. Arianny Celeste is very hot!

ReggieCleveland · October 19, 2013 6:23AM

Who chose the photos for these? That Liddell card is horrible.

How many packs in the box?

bunt · October 19, 2013 8:02AM

No kidding ! That picture sucks

I only know Liddell, Lesnar and Gracie so far, the other cards I really don't know who is who.

The box has just 20 packs in it, so for what I paid, it averaged out to 36 bucks a pack ! Oh yeah ! Smart buy here so far !!!! Unless some mombo huge pull comes today or tomorrow I think I'll end up very much in the hole. Some of these cards are numbered so will need to check pop and price reports somewhere once all packs are opened.

Next -

cjaccardi · October 19, 2013 8:14AM

Agree these pictures are horrible

bunt · October 19, 2013 8:19AM

WAIT ! Hold On ! There is actually only 16 packs in the box, not 20. Average pack price of purchase: 45.25 !

wrestlingcardking · October 19, 2013 8:31AM

Yeah they improved the pics in the following releases.....I'd take that Arianny....

bunt · October 19, 2013 8:50AM

I better quit today, while I'm far... behind

wrestlingcardking · October 19, 2013 8:54AM

You have to have a signed card in there somewhere

Dboneesq · October 19, 2013 10:25AM

Man ... these must be different than what I purchased. Mine was a blaster box from 2010. I think I paid $20.00 for the box.

bunt · October 19, 2013 11:25PM

Doug, am going to go after some 2010's after this. More sane of a purchase ! I'm thinkin'' though these crappy pictures kind of makes them cool (?)

Still no auto card.. But a couple St-Pierres, who I have heard of. And the chick card again, this time, this card is the thick one. That's right, I said the chick card is thick :0

ReggieCleveland · October 20, 2013 1:20AM

You don't seem to be a big UFC fan, I gotta ask, why are you ripping the box?

goraiders · October 20, 2013 1:39AM

<< <i>WAIT ! Hold On ! There is actually only 16 packs in the box, not 20. Average pack price of purchase: 45.25 !

>>

So a box is $ 720.00 with only one auto??

WalterSobchak · October 20, 2013 1:58AM

A box of UFC cards costs $720? Jesus.

ReggieCleveland · October 20, 2013 2:04AM

I think BBCE has one for $850.

bunt · October 20, 2013 2:05AM

Becoming a big UFC fan! - recently been watching and it's kicckin' my *ss on coolness. Better to me than anything boxing or wrestling before. I want to learn some history here with this stuff.

So far - NO Auto's

Yeah man, I had some credit at BBCE and bought a box with a little break on cost. But yep - the price was HUGE for this. Let's wait and see if anything happens here but this could indeed be the biggest losing box in history.

Here's the next 45 dollar pack !

bunt · October 20, 2013 2:18AM

Hot CHick Alert ! Hot Chick ! I;d take this one over the other one any day.

The Diaz/Neer silver card is marked 1/1.

bunt · October 20, 2013 2:24AM

Relic card ! In checking ebay for this guy, this card could bring me in like 3 bucks !

bunt · October 20, 2013 2:31AM

Got an auto ! Completed sales for this card go as far up as 12 bucks ! This may blowit for the box - it was suggested I get a 'red' auto

bunt · October 20, 2013 2:35AM

Blumpkin pack

Just four packs left after this.

wrestlingcardking · October 20, 2013 2:45AM

What are the numbered cards that you have pulled?

bunt · October 20, 2013 2:46AM

One mroe relic. The Forrest Griffin card could bringi n 20 bucks.. Almost half way to 100 dollars - leaving only a 600 dollar loss so far

bunt · October 20, 2013 2:49AM

Another auto - Quinton Jackson - past sales have this around 60 bucks

bunt · October 20, 2013 2:56AM

YES ! Thus guy might get mu money back !

bunt · October 20, 2013 3:01AM

Well there you have it folks - a complete box rip with some personal excitement at the end, after dreading i more than half way through.

Allen · October 20, 2013 3:05AM

Nice hit. That seems like one of the best possible hits. If it doesn't have chipping you should grade it.

Dpeck100 · October 20, 2013 3:14AM

<< <i>YES ! Thus guy might get mu money back !

Anderson Silva Chris 'The Crippler' red dual auto with mat relic Yes !

>>

WOW what a turn around!!! You might end up making money on this box!

I recommend you do a Google search for Arianny Celeste and I feel confident you will like what you find.

bunt · October 20, 2013 3:21AM

sorry, back now.. I did do a google search on Arianny after you mentioned it - then needed to 'step away' for a bit

Dboneesq · October 20, 2013 3:40AM

CONGRATS on that hit! For your sake I hope it sells for as much as the one you referenced! As mentioned, if it looks good get it graded ... or you may want to put it up NOW on ebay with a high BIN/Best Offer. Keep us informed.

bunt · October 20, 2013 3:52AM

Thank You

Will get some of these graded. Grading is pretty much free right ? You can send cards in and not worry about spending any money. Three months down the road, which is an eternity, you get a bill - deal with it then

All grading is free is my book based on this theory. ha ha

WCK - will go through these today and post a pic of the grade worthy/numbered cards and let you know some time today.

dpeck - if you are the same dpeck that was in the sports market magazine a while back, the girl you are standing next to in the picture is MUCH more pretty than the two in this card set !

Doing the grading pick through now on this box. Actually ended up very happy.

Dpeck100 · October 20, 2013 4:17AM

Yep that is me. Hot chicks dig wrestling cards! LOL

Thanks for the kind words about my wife.

bunt · October 20, 2013 5:25AM

No idea if the /288 includes thick and standard cards in the total.

ANDERSON EFFIN SILVA ! dual auto with Chris 'The Crypler' Leder red with mat relic.

That is all for thix box break. Many going off to PSA, for return next year some time.

epislash · October 20, 2013 6:28AM

According to my monthly Beckett guide, the silva/leban books for $450. It's too bad you didn't pull a solo silva or GSP red ink auto, books for $1200 each. I'm a huge ufc fan and it's good to see a box ripped here. Silva's auto has gotten a bit cleaner and easier to read since then. I have a 2012 relic auto.

bunt · January 31, 2014 9:31AM

Will await the UFC fans to post anyting further

Buffalo Bills will win Sunday

Dpeck100 · January 31, 2014 9:33AM

You have got your beer and smokes, that is all you need!

Good luck!

wrestlingcardking · January 31, 2014 10:21AM
