All singles, no breaks.
For the Topps chrome release, I decided that I wouldn’t do any breaks and only buy singles. Specifically all of the Detroit Lions Lightboard variants with the exception of Montgomery now that he’s gone, sorry knuckles! The print run is around 225 so pretty rare and cool looking.
Sticking with this is admittedly easier with the lack of love the lions got on the big hits(Kaiju, Tecmo). If there was a Barry Sanders Tecmo(there should be) I’m not sure I could’ve withheld gambling to hit one.
My all in price for these cards was $384.51, or about $38 per card. This is with shipping and tax and was all from eBay. I did buy some blue one touch holders to make the cards look even better but am not including that on the price.
It’s likely the values will dip a little the further out from release day, but I’m very happy with the PC add, and absolutely got a better rerun on investment than the majority of breaks I’ve done.
Perhaps as an experiment, I’ll spend $384 on Cosmic breaks to see what happens!
