Upon opening the box I was pretty disappointed. Most of the packs in there were junk. There was some old Notre Dame pack, junk Score packs, and a bunch of 2013 Upper Deck USA Football packs.
I basically was hoping to just get lucky and hit something in the one pack of Platinum since all the other packs were worthless. I even contemplated throwing all the other packs away without even opening them.
My curiosity got the better of me and I decided to open up everything. I started the weird Notre Dame pack of cards. It was junk.
Then I picked up the 2013 Score Football retail packs. One pack was thicker than the other. I just figured it was one of those decoy cards. To my surprise, there was actually a hit in there!
It was a Ryan Mathews Future Franchise Fabrics relic jersey card! It even had a little pen mark on the fabric too. Has Ryan Mathews become a franchise player? Nope.
I then started to open up the rest of the junk packs. I had no idea what these 2013 Upper Deck USA Football packs were. They looked like high school or college cards. Either way, I figure it to be more retail junk. But then...
I hit this crazy triple autograph! What?! I was shocked. My jaw hit the floor. I've never pulled a triple autograph before. This was nuts. Even if it was a triple autograph from some off the wall set with some unknown players on it, this was still pretty cool!
The three players picture are Addison Olah, Chad Taylor, and Damian Halstead. Apparently they were Canadian high school football players. Now they're playing in college, but none of them appear to be at any top football schools so there is little hope that any of them will be NFL prospects.
For $15, this is one of the most surprising breaks I've ever had. My expectations were practically zero, and I ended up getting way more than I bargained for.
Oh, and that 2015 Platinum Football hobby pack? Yeah, got nothing.
