How did it go?

[scottglevy]

Well the good news is that it was a really nice way to meet a lot of fellow collectors. I enjoyed the connection and chitchat. I also loved the anticipation of ripping open a Christmas pack ... something that I’ve never done before. The net results were less than impressive. 1 significantly difficult high number SP and 11 commons. The condition was also on the lower end of my hopes averaging closer to Ex than the ExMt. No beaters but I don’t think any card would be at the NM level.

I was seriously considering buying a few more Christmas packs ... but after seeing what was inside of this one I probably won’t do that. I had not expected to pull a superstar but certainly hoped for some semistars or lower end HOFers.

Will post the formal results shortly

It was fun, but predictably like it was back in the day when we pulled those cards out of wax packs . . . mostly disappointing, right? Didn't Charlie Shultz feature Charlie Brown pulling card after card, saying, "Rats! Another card of Joe Shlobotnick!" That Peanuts segment has always been so hilariously close to the truth for me!

Lot's of fun, thanks for hosting Scott. And great to see your kids take part!

I got #184 Hal Brown, a card I didn't have, so it turned out great for me.

And I do have a Satchell Paige already. It's just a little rough and I was hoping for an upgrade

Thanks again, Scott. It was worth the price just for the anticipation and getting to chat with some great collectors. The Fannin now has a cool story attached to it!
