March 2012 Affordable Group Break - 1995 Topps Finest Update (part 2)

Let's go ahead and get this one out of the way.  I'll be honest when I say this box was a stinker.  I'm not happy w/ the outcome.  The collation is HORRIBLE so don't be surprised to see 4 or more of some cards in your stack!  If you don't want all of your teams' doubles please let me know!  If had the extra money I'd buy another box to toss in...that's how bad I feel.  The break does get better w/ the Screenplays and Invincible boxes however so hang on.

Well if there was a silver lining to this box it was that there were 3 Refractors instead of 2.  At least all 3 went to teams that were claimed (White Sox & Brewers).  On to the last half of the Invincible box w/ more exciting cards...I promise!

  1. I'm okay without my doubles for this at least. I had no vested interested for the Finest going in, so it's no big deal for me. Really cool that I walked away with a refractor, though! I'm hitting pay dirt over here.

  2. That box would have killed for a Tiger's collector like me... if Sean Bergman had ever panned out. Those mid/late 90's Tigers were brutal.
