I'm curious - about how much did you spend total on the 9 blasters + 11 hangers? And how much would you have spent either at an LCS or online auction on a single card that you would have hoped to pull?
Im guessing around 300.00 in total. When I buy singles, its generally vintage. I buy wax because im a junkie.
Thanks pulled the Smoltz Auto out of series 2
i like to say My name is Dave and I'm addicted to crack......cracking packs
But at some level you admit you could have picked up at least a couple of gu/autos of players you like for what you spent on breaking.

Jay Novacek '17 Vertex Upper Tier Sigs. 71/99
An absolute mainstay in football cards from the mid 60s to the mid 70s. He was picked 2nd in the 1965 Draft just ahead of Dick Butkis and Gale Sayers. Many of his pictures in football cards had him posed with his off arm as a stiff arm or a club.
Just looked him up and he was quite a baseball player in college. He led the ACC in home runs twice and is credited wtih hitting the longest home run in Tar Heel history at 525 feet. Quite a 2 sport athlete with his accomplishments.
Ken Willard was a good solid fullback, racked up over 5000 yds - which got me to thinking about how and when the RB position transitioned away from fullbacks to halfbacks. Little, Csonka, Harris, Campbell were still in the FB mold. By the time ED came around in the mid 80's, FBs were vanishing. I think of The Bus as maybe the last true FB. Derrick Henry is a throwback to the bruising fullback of yore.
Good question. After the 9 year run of fullbacks leading the NFL in rushing, I think the late 60's were where the transition started from Fullback to halfback...........a term you never hear anymore. I think LeRoy Kelly, OJ, Payton and Dorsett finally broke the hold fullbacks had on running games. Certainly there were some prominant fullback or fullbck types like Csonka and Campbell but after them the position kind of faded away.
Think of the postions you neer hear about anymore. Fullback, halfback, flanker, defensive end, nose tackle, Middle linebacker, outside linebacker. DEs and OLBs are now known as Edge. Flankers are now Wrs. Lots of changes in my time of following the NFL;
