Living The Americana Dream Part 3: Box 2

In my latest trade with the great Shane from Project Pedro Blog, I was able to trade for some boxes from him from the Black Friday sale on Dacardworld.

I could have chosen baseball, football, basketball, hockey or any other sport. But what did I end up with? Well, three boxes of 2015 Panini Americana.

My love of non sport cards continues to grow and my love of this product has as well. The price of a box being around $25 and under along with four hits is so enticing you just can't ignore it. The checklist of autographs and wardrobe relics you could hit has a good mix of superstars and people you may not know as well but it was enough to entice me to want more.

Today and Tomorrow I will break down the hits for the final two boxes I opened. Now we are onto box number 2.

Once again we kick it off again with another Freeze Frame. This one is of Hulk Hogans daughter, Brooke,

This box actually had a bonus parallel I hadn't ever seen in five boxes I broke, a green parallel. These are numbered to 25 and this one is of Audrina Patridge who was best known for her role on The Hills.

My first autograph find was of Alexis Knapp. She is best known for her roles in the trio of Pitch Perfect movies. Which by the way are pretty funny. I was thinking a corny girly singy type movie, not at all. Well worth the watch.

My next pull was this Laura Prepon relic. I best know her from her red head days on That 70's Show. She is now on the hit show Orange Is The New Black.

My next find was Ali Larter autograph.  She was in Varsity Blues, if you lived in the 90's you definitely have seen that film, and played on many sitcoms of the 90's.

And finally, you don't have eyes like her. She has Bette Davis eyes. How cool is it to pull a legendary relic like this?

 

Once again, another solid box break for the price.  The autographs I found in this box were well signed as well. Sharp, readable autographs.

Box three will be posted tomorrow so come back for one more!

Nuttin But The Hits:2015 Panini Americana HUGE PULL

I have been waiting to post this break.

Last Black Friday my friend over at Project Pedro Blog helped pick me up a box of 2015 Panini Americana that was a bargain from Da Card World for $30. I was super stoked as I had always wanted to bust a box myself after picking up and trading for some singles.

Each of the boxes have 4 Memorabilia or Autograph cards per box with at least of them being 2 autos per box. You can find names such as Bradley Cooper, Al Pacino, Paula Abdul, Sylvester Stallone, Brooke and Hulk Hogan, Mickey Rourke, Kevin Hart, Jordana Brewster, Martin Short, Alexa Vega, Nick Cannon, Laura Prepon, DJ Jazzy Jeff and Vanilla Ice among many more. So I know there was plenty to find.

Up first my insert parallel pulls. These look super cool. Got some big names as well.

My first pull, a Slade Smiley relic. Multi color. I wasn't sure who he was. But it's a cool relic none-the-less

Then came a Craig Dollase autograph

And my next find is pretty solid because she's got Bette Davis eyes....

Triple Memorabilia card of the great Bette Davis. Pretty sick! Even a piece of thread!

Then to finish it up....play the Rocky theme song...

BOOM! The man himself and one of the toughest pulls in the product!!

For $30 I think I did pretty well. It also left me wanting more. I hope to bust another box down the road. Prices have dipped even more on boxes and when or if I get more hobby dollars and I wanna grab another one or two.

A big thanks also goes out to Project Pedro Blog on the hookup!
