We’ve had a couple of 2013 Panini Certified Football Hobby boxes sitting in inventory for the last few months now with absolutely zero traction from the community on them, despite selling them at a loss, so we said f@#k it and decided to break those puppies ourself last night and see what we could pull. Now the 2013 Certified hobby boxes guarantee four hits, with at least one auto per box, so obviously, we were secretly hoping we would pull a Russell Wilson Mirror Gold Signature, or an Emerald...

Being a prospector means I am always on the lookout for insane deals and under the radar auctions that could produce good amounts of profit either on raw resale, or turned into investment pieces through grading.

In my recent return to sports card collecting and prospecting, I have discovered live box breaks and pulls. I talked about pulls recently in my article ‘Exercising Patience for Higher Profits’ but today I will be looking at a box break that I did with an Instagram card seller recently, which ended up producing a great hit! The box in question was a blaster box of 2020 Donruss Elite football – I paid $37 for the box, including shipping, and watched as the host ripped my packs. There were some...
