I bought a case of both of these when new. They were very expensive for cards back then. I bought them with the idea of opening half of them and selling the rest unopened. Well, guess what? I could not stop breaking those boxes. Fantastic product that many collectors may not know exists. Been buying boxes and cases since 1978 both for resale and my PC. This product was one of the most fascinating of them all.
Well, I am old and 2009 is a long time ago.lol. I think it may have been $80 a box. My mom only paid 5c for my first pack! It was a 5c pack '57 Topps baseball.
Chi city pulls/lively collector and yourself are two of the most knowledgeable and genuinely good spirited people when opening! Its really a breath of fresh air! I really gotta give you buys both credit for being true collectors.
After being heavy into vintage for 40 of my 44 years so far on this earth - love seeing others who truly appreciate the hobby and share the love for it and the game! Congrats my friend!!!
Thanks for sharing your trip with us and share your love of the hobby! Thanks Chi for hooking your brother up. There is something spiritual about seeing cards go to the right home!
That was a great product-thanks for sharing and appreciate your passion for the hobby. You can always tell the breakers who have the heart of a collector-appreciate you RGL!
I totally know how special that Ruth is. I pulled fabrics of the game Ruth back in 2001-2002 couldn’t believe what I had pulled biggest hit ever. Congratulations
wow those were some incredible cards in those pulls..........Kennedy, Robinson, Gehrig, Ruth...........everyone of those would be a collector's all time highlight.......you did all four in one day
Those are some sweet looking cards Rungood. But I really hope you're not dumbstruck, I really hope your awestruck 😆 cards got you so nervous you can't talk!
Congrats man! I know I did collectively about 1.5-2.5 cases of this back in the day. Brings back so many good memories when products were CHOICE and quality. Awesome hits 🔥
Really appreciate your knowledge when opening these packs up. UA-cam seems to be full of guys who just rip open packs with no idea of what they’re pulling - you’re a breath of fresh air. Congrats on the great pulls!
I'm old enough to remember when Upper Deck put the first babe Ruth relic card in packs. As I recall, it was a game used bat and it was numbered, of course, out of 3. Years later, I've still never pulled a Ruth relic. But I did, in a group break, get a Lou Gehrig quad relic /3. Despite it being probably my 3rd or 4th most valuable card,first thing I did when I got it was rub the jersey. I'm a sucker, and always have been, for baseball history, and Lou Gehrig has always been my favorite historical player. If you get the time, look at his numbers from 1938. He was, at the time, literally dying and having his body break down as a result of ALS, he would get diagnosed early in the following season. What Gehrig did in 1938 is, imo, the single most impressive year any athlete has ever had. I look at what he was doing and I am completely in awe. He was truly an inspiring figure. Just some of his stats that year: 107 Walks against 75 Strikeouts Slash, including OPS of .295/.410/.523/.932 132 OPS+ Dying, he was 32% better than an average hitter in 38 32 Doubles, 6 Triples and 29 Homers 114 RBI and 115 Runs 4.7 WAR The guy was the definition of a cheat code.
Nice job RGL.. you deserve it buddy! Chi.. you are a hell of a friend man. This close knit group you guys have along with Hitman. Is what makes the hobby so enjoyable to be a part of with you guys.
Sincerely thank you for sharing this with the community. You could of PC pulled this in private or with buddies. Those hits are amazing and I'm shocked they are not worth more as they are national treasures (no pun). Cheers.
Very cool and unique break. Would love to know what a box like that sells for these days? Especially the murderers row which has to be a significant premium. Great channel awesome break and sweet hits.
Awesome Boxes, weird to see not autos though. BTW, I asked for you to send me a box with a Genesis in it for the Mosaic Blaster I won in a giveaway, and you did. Lol Kyle Hamilton True RC Genesis, The 1st I've ever pulled. Thanks!!!
That Ruth is a card I would pass on to my kids, it’s a reminder of why we do this , so happy for you man!!!
That Gehrig is no slouch either. Couple of heirlooms from that one box if you ask me.

I am curious what did you pay for them, I you don't mind me asking?

What an incredible opening to watch in 2023. Thanks for sharing this!
