Breakin Wax:Jammin JD Sports Cards Superior Hits Pack Break

I am always into trying new things just to see what they are in the hobby. That's what brings us to today's product you may or may not have heard of before.

They are Jammin JD Sport Cards hit football packs. There are three levels to try and currently only football is offered. My pack break is the medium level with Superior. There is also the low level of Solid Hits and a higher level of Elite Hits. All 3 can be found on the Jammin JD Sports Cards website, HERE..

In each Superior Hits pack, you will find 10 cards that will run for $39.99 a pack. Those will be broken down as follows.

• 5 Hits, at least 2 Autographed Cards
• 2 Rookies
• 2 Serial-Numbered Cards
• 1 Insert

Hits in these packs are Jersey Cards, Autographed Cards and Printing Plates.

So let's see how it goes.

Up first, here are my insert finds. The Phillip Rivers is /25 and the Wayne is /49. Overall, a good group of players.

I also lucked out in my pack and instead of that fifth insert, I got an extra hit.

Here is the hit gallery.

49/49. I think this is my first Immaculate card.

Nice looking card with a solid patch. West is having a pretty solid season for Baltimore. I bet Cleveland wished they hadn't let him go even though it would take more than a running back to fix their team. 

I pulled a lot of West and surprisingly don't have this one. Maybe I should PC him haha.

My final pull was a nice 3-color auto patch of Kenny Stills. He has had an up and down season, but will still be a solid add to my rookie auto collection for a just-in-case.

 

Overall, a solid break. If you think about it, each card would have to value at least $4 each and I think in the end they even out that way from some research I did. I do wished I had pulled a Giant, but you just don't know what you will find in these since they are randomly packed.

Thoughts on this break are welcomed below in comments.

Project Pedro Trade Recap Part 7:Swirly Brock

October has officially been named, Cards I Got From Project Pedro Blog Month.

For a few years now I have kicked myself for trading away a Topps Chrome Black Refractor Rookie autograph of Brock Osweiler as I had a feeling he had a future ahead of him. So, how do I make myself feel a tad better, acquiring an autograph to fill the need.

Even if the guy doesn't pan out, I still like his swirly signature.

 

Thoughts on today's card is welcomed!

Trade on Twitter...

Recently made a great trade with a great guy I found on Twitter known as mjb_cards104 ‏@Mjb_cards104. If you haven't followed him yet, you should. Loves to talk sports and the hobby. I don't normally trade and usually when approached I tell them that. But I do consider it sometimes. Its hard to know who to trust in this online world without going to specific sites such as Beckett to let you know if the person is a good trader or not.

This time with a persistent inquiry about this card I decided to take the chance. Glad I did despite some ups and downs with it. By this I mean the USPS system almost killed this trade and my reputation by almost losing my card. His cards to me got to me within 3 days, mine took over a week and the tracking for mine never showed up until the day of delivery. And because of this, I don't think I will trade again online with the risk of it almost being lost. I may reconsider again in the future, but for right now I probably won't.But it was great that mjb_cards104 ‏ understood and waited.

This is the one that he wanted desperately for his Topps Chrome auto collection and rookie QB PC. So he threw me a few offers and we were able to come to terms after I gave it much, much thought because I really did like this card. So he got the Osweiler Black refractor auto #25 and a few Topps Chrome refractor set needs and I got the following:

New Rueben Randles to increase the PC:

Another Eli relic.I only have 2. Now three :)

2 bonuses he threw in:

And one of my favorite cards from the lot despite having been released from the Giants # to 10

This was a trade I couldn't refuse. It helped both of us with our PC's. And I recommend to anyone to trade with him as well!

Let me know how you have done online trading outside of specific sites. And have you found bad traders? A bad time with USPS? And thoughts on this trade as well. Did you think this trade was even or one sided?

BOX BREAKERS: TOPPS FOOTBALL BOX HANGER 2012

Found this hiding in a box of presents from my mother in law. She seems to have a nack for Topps and regular Topps Football. Like I said, I don't argue with her. She's been pretty lucky before and once again did well with this break.

This comes with one pack inside. 72 cards. 16 of which are rookies so it really works to your advantage.

The packaging

Base Cards

Rookies...Trent Richardson, Michael Floyd and Kendall Wright to name a few

You find one of these per pack

Inserts

The nice surprise. Sp Variation Version of Alex Smith

Overall I would rate this break based on cost versus what I got a :

5/5

REVIEW: Topps Chrome Football 2012

This is the box that we won from Topps. Not only is it one of my personal favorites...I know I seem to use that term a lot..but its really truly used here. Just such a great product and 2012 may be the best ever!!

Hobby Box design

Box Breakdown:

• 24 Packs Per Box, 4 Cards Per Pack
• Look for (1) Autograph Card Per Box!
• Around $105 a Hobby box but watch for that number to go up as the popularity does!

 

BASE CARDS: What can I say..I love em! Anything with a chrome finish..wow. You would think with my love of chrome I would love cars as well..but to be honest I can't even do an oil change ;) This is something I would put a base set together of. The rookie cards are my most sought after and my favorite. Our box proved to be very rookieful. On average we believe you are supposed to get one rookie per pack. We got over 35 rookies in this box! All of the great ones except Luck and Richardson. It would take a lot of boxes to get a base set. You don't get many base cards, though no duplicates, you still don't get enough with all of the parallels and inserts you get in a box.

1:52 ODDS SEPIA TONED REFRACTOR

1:63 ODDS BLUE REFRACTOR

1:25 ODDS CAMO REFRACTOR

1:24 ODDS

INSERTS: Loaded with inserts and tons of refractors to choose from this product has a lot to chase. And with all of them having parallels..you can put together many different variation sets. Fun chase to say the least. And they look real nice!

1:2,077 ODDS

AUTOGRAPH CARDS:Only one hit per box..and this was it. Though not the best player..gotta play behind Peyton Manning for the next 5 years before even getting a shot..this was a tough low numbered pull # to 25. These usually do well on the market in terms of sales.

OVERALL THOUGHTS: Go get some! From the base cards, to inserts, to refractors and the fact its loaded with rookies. Whether you buy a retail box (one jersey card on average) or a hobby box..value is here. You will always most of the time get a lot more than you spent on the product which is why I believe year in and year out Chrome is so popular. If my rating scale could be fixed..I would give it all 6's
