I opened a box of SP Legendary Cuts the other day, and am just now getting around to giving my take on this product. I don't mean to come across as entirely negative about this product, but as you'll see, I got screwed every possible way on this box. For about $90, you get more or less 60 baseball cards. Yeah, $1.50 per card is what you pay. Rest assured you can buy pretty much any base card on ebay for $1 or less. But of those 60 cards you're guaranteed 4 memorabilia cards. My hits were absolute crap, and by crap I mean, players that are suspended or don't even have a team to play on. When Grady Sizemore is the best player in your box, you know you're screwed. I also got a Manny Ramirez, Pedro Martinez, and Tom Glavine/Steve Carlton. So two players without teams, a drug user, and a lower level star. Fantastic! This is easily the worst box of Cuts I've ever seen, and I will not be opening another box this year. The owner of the card store I frequent showed me some hits that people got recently, a Griffey Auto, Tris Speaker cut, so you can get some nice cards out of the product. But aside from the Griffey auto, which looked really nice, the cuts are just horrid looking IMO. Barely any actual design to the card, it's like pulling a piece of paper out of a pack of cards that's signed by a player. Not impressed... So there you have it, my opinion on Legendary Cuts, hopefully I never speak of them again this year...

The Glavine/Carlton isn't so bad, but yeah that's like $10 worth of cards. That would assume that anyone would seek those cards out.
ReplyDeleteAre you interested in selling or trading the Sizemore ?!
ReplyDeletethe glavine/carlton made me mess my pants. i'm frantically checking your want lists to see what I have to trade.
ReplyDeleteYes, any of these cards are for trade/sale... My want lists may be badly out of date. Perhaps I will get these all updated this weekend. Since I focus mostly on Longoria's, updating the lists to finish sets usually gets ignored.
