To change it up a little bit, I bought 5 boxes of modern FB at the National - x2 2015 Leaf Metal, x2 2015 Leaf Trinity, and 1 2014 Exquisite. I got the Leaf from Blowout, they have me a discount since I buy way too much from them. The Exquisite came from SteelCity, the prices was 1/2 of the release price.

Box 1 - Got two color refractors. The Tevin Coleman Purple is #10/15 and the Matt Jones Green is #3/10. Not too bad, Coleman has a shot to be the starting RB for the Falcons and Dupree will probably start for the Steelers. I think the inserts in Metal are among the best in any product. I wish one of the big boys would make an insert as nice as Touchdown Kings.
Hit a Mariota Armed & Dangerous! I've bought about 2 cases worth of Metal through different dealers and I've probably pulled 9 Winston and Mariota Autos. They were distributed at least 1 each per case, so my strategy of spreading the wealth has worked. I only buy from the large box dealers since they are less likely to search for the hot boxes and sell the losers.
The Blue Hardy is #34/50, I think I have had at least 4 of the Blues.
I've opened about a 1 1/2 cases from several dealers and it seems like there are fewer patch cards this year than in 2014. They still have some crazy patch cuts, mostly multi color.
Got saved on this box by the Amari Cooper. Alabama fans are strong buyers.
Woohoo! Hit a pretty good box. The Amari Cooper Plate #1/1 is a great hit, I've noticed that consecutive boxes occasionally have the same big hit player. I wonder if Mariota is short printed because I've pulled 2 Winston Patches, 1 Inscription, and 1 Pure Glass but no Mariotas.
This is it for now, I'll post the Exquisite later today.
