Nuttin But The Hits:2015 Certified Football Hobby Box (Nice Box)

2015 Certified wronged me the first time as I hit a really poor box, this time however, it treated me much better.

There are 10 packs per box of Certified and boxes are still running roughly $70. There are 4 hits per box and some colorful parallel treats sprinkled in as well.

Some numbered parallels here. Hit some solid players too.

 

Inserts with Mariota and a numbered Fitz.

 

And even landed a Mirror Gold of Marcus Allen /50.

 

Hits. This Greyson guy keeps stalking me.

 

Twice in this box. This one however is /25.

 

Nice three-color patch auto of David Johnson. Great design, layout and player. He could be a beast next season.

 

And if the rest of the box wasn't enough, a sick 4-color patch of Devante Parker numbered 10/10

 

 A much better box break of Certified this time around. Lot's of color, sweet patches and decent players.

Thoughts on Certified or my box break?

Breakin Wax:2015 Panini Black Friday 3-Pack Break

For the first time ever, I actually had the chance to open some Panini Black Friday packs, a hobby dream of mine. Yes, I dream small.

So with a purchase (which I will show the results of at a later date), I managed to land three packs. Yes, it was sadly only three packs, but three is better than zero. You can only fit so much into your budget.

In every pack of 2015 Panini Black Friday packs are two cards and one "filler" card. You can land these through different online sites, eBay or by visiting your LCS on Black Friday if they are participating.

Pack 1: Not bad, Beastmode and Anthony Towns.

Pack 2: Not too shabby either. Tom Brady and Bears first rounder Kevin White.

And the final pack had some boom. Nolan Arenado and then Devante Parker cracked ice Breast Cancer Awareness towel prime swatch. This card has a place in my collection. My Mother In Law went through chemo and radiation this year for it so it's a great card to have to celebrate her braveness and the card looks sweet.

Here is the hit up close. Really nice looking card done by Panini here. I like the uniqueness of the towel swatch too.

 

Overall, can't complain with this three pack break. Some big name players and a nice hit. I am not sure what the numbering is on these as Panini doesn't like to release that info but I would assume /25 or less.

 

Now I gotta ask, how many of you busted some Black Friday packs? If you didn't, what are your thoughts on my break?
