    I keep looking in the pack for my 4th card to see if Lebron is hiding in there. Or worse, checking the back of the other 3 to see if he melted to the back of one of the other cards as it sat in my mailbox and got baked in the Arizona heat. Guess the Topps factory just didn't want to fill up this pack that day.

    My pack yielded:

    8 Antoine Walker
    53 Marcus Camby
    119 Mike Sweetney

    Oh well, not every lottery ticket is a winner. I had a blast with the anticipation and huge thank you to ndleo for putting this together.

    OK. I opened one of my two packs - Dajuan Wagner, Corey Maggette, Keith Van Horn, and a rookie card..............Maurice Williams,

    This must mean the odd of second pack have a Lebron just went up? ha ha

    I ripped mine and didn't get anything. I did get a RC - #158 Devin Brown, so needless to say the Lebron is still out there.

    1/3 down no Lebron. I guess my 2 packs have a 1/17shot. need better odds before I do it though not to mention it goes against my moral fiber to open packs. But I can be bought.

    Nothing from mine. I don't really collect basketball. Just playing along. Anyone building a set that might want to purchase or trade for Braves? PM me if interested.

    I wonder if there would be any interest in making this sort of thing a monthly happening?

  • secretstashsecretstash Posts: 1,396 ✭✭✭✭

    No dice on Lebron or any of the stars.

    Looks like around 24/48 packs ripped and no Lebron. Anyone else rip and not post yet?

  • BeRoyalKCBeRoyalKC Posts: 413 ✭✭

    My 2 are still waiting for the odds to improve. I'd say after 46 of the 48 are opened and no Lebron I might do it. Then again I might resell them as the ultra rare 2 packs left from the CU Forum box breaks where no Lebron has been pulled yet so these have to be the ones packs. Do you thing BBCE will authenticate and wrap them for me with that description?

    If Lebron wins tonite, I'll rip
    But not til tomorrow
    They been sitting next to a box of UD Hockey (McDavid) that needs to get torn through if time will ever permit

  • Re-selling???? I thought we got a good deal to have fun in this tread and rip?

  • OddRodzOddRodz Posts: 645 ✭✭✭

    Dude, yur 2nd pack has the gold refractor Brady. That was my pack before I doofed myself out of contention.

    You could pay BBCE 1k a pack to authenticate them and wrap with the description as you mentioned. Would suggest though altering the flip text to read: 'CU Forum repacked box break consisting of packs gathered together from other boxes a Lebron had already been pulled from'.

    I bet BBCE would do that for 1k a pack.

  • MULLINS5MULLINS5 Posts: 4,517 ✭✭✭

    BBCE does not authenticate and wrap packs unless they are submitted through PSA.

  • I busted my pack. No big hits on my end which is par for the course with my luck of opening packs lately!

    I have no collecting direction. I just buy stuff!

    I still have mine sealed. We'll see how long I can hold out.

    The biggest lesson I've learned in this hobby, and in life, is that if you have a strong conviction, you owe it to yourself to see it through. Don't sell yourself, or your investments, short. Unless the facts change. Then sell it all.

    opened my pack with my daughter--sadly got no LeBron

    did get a Carmelo rookie but--THAT'S NOT WHO WE WANTED

  • galaxy27galaxy27 Posts: 8,203 ✭✭✭✭✭

    i sure hope someone pulls a Bron Bron, otherwise this may very well be the biggest tease i've experienced since junior high

    just 1 pack for me.

    2 packs stashed for me as well. And those that responded to my last post it was a joke. I wasn't really planning on selling or sending them to BBCE. Thanks for letting me know though.

    I have been away for the past 3 weeks and decided to rip one of the packs open. When in front of my eyes who does appear?

    Nice hit!

    Shame its off center since all of the other cards shown showed promise.

    Just out of curiosity, were the other cards in the Lebron pack centered the same way?

    The rest were centered nicely, maybe not perfect but PSA 9 worthy.
