We bought a hobby box this weekend hoping to get a good number lacrosse players. I am admittedly long out of the hobby but my daughters and I liked the box. Ended up with a complete base set 1-200, a few parallels, 1 lacrosse auto (base) and a memorabilia card (softball) but cool none the less.
Wasn’t pulled by me specifically. I was in a 2 different 3-box breaks with OffBallLax here on RU-vid and IG. I decided to not watch the break and do a blind opening of the mail he sent me. It was quite the surprise! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vwhu7InCUGM.html
Son and I are really just getting into the hobby, so the parallels, inserts, chrome, relics, and all these are still pretty new to us... hobby has changed a lot since the junk wax era I grew up in. Honestly, even with all the value in the chase cards, I still find the most enjoyment in completing the base set, with possibly one or two subsets (like the award winners or 1952s). Personally, I feel like the big 1/1 inserts and autos just take away the value from the rest of the cards and give you FOMO for cards you'll never own. Tough lesson for kids who start looking at these packs like scratch-off tickets.
Those GoalGetters seem like a crazy rarity, at least compared to the other non-numbered inserts (1952s, Field Generals, etc). I forget which one we pulled, but I would be surprised if ends up being more valuable than all our relics and /99s combined.
I thought I was missing a rainbow foil too but it was the Ryan Tierney in front of the mem card I skipped right over. But, yeah, pretty sure the Image Variation took place of a numbered parallel in the box.
My son was just 2 base cards short of the full 200 card set after his first two boxes. I was pretty happy with that, although we'll probably keep ripping through two more boxes just for the inserts. Still haven't pulled an image variation yet, or a parallel better than /99.
Great video! I got a video going up tomorrow afternoon from my boxes. If you would be interested in moving on from that Withers, let me know. He actually plays for my local NLL team
Yeah, I am enjoying this Project 2020 series for sure. Followed a couple of the artists prior to the Project, so to see their work on these cards is pretty cool.
