That beats last months one that went for $750. Anyone here buy it ? Obviously slim chance of getting a big hit but worth it to someone. |

nice!! i will say that it was awesome opening the box of rd1 that i opened a few months ago.. but 850 is tough.. i pulled a Guida red auto in my only rd1 box break.. a forrest/rampage ttf gold/88 and silvers of gracie and shogun and still think i 'lost money' at the price of the box.. |

Thats crazy... even if you pull a red auto, unless it's Anderson or GSP you won't be making your money back. $550 was my breaking point for RD1 but I know there are guys on here that are batsh*t crazy about it. ------------- Selling BJ Penn collection! Lots of 1/1's, rubies, red autos, triple threads, dual autos, etc. PM me if interested! |

That's pretty steep, but those boxes are getting rarer and rarer. -------------

It is crazy but I guess for the guys like myself who never opened a R1 box before ...just a couple of packs..it would be fun even if you only recouped half or less. You can do alot worse opening some of the other series. |

Yea, but at $850 you pull a decent Red auto and a 1/1 card and still not brake even. That's crazy.

i truly dont understand why anyone owuld spend that much cash on a box - hell even $600 - most of the cards u can pull froma box at those prices u can just outright buy for less - if ur in the market fora red gsp or spider just add a little to that price tag and just buy it u could literally open a whole case and not pull a major $1k hit - maybe its b/c i only collect a few MMA cards i dont get it but ive seen people spend BIG money on rare baseball packs, and when they bust them they always end up getting burned b/c the cards they pull are worth much less than what they spent - i dunno, id just much rather buy the cards i want then to try to pull that mega hit from a box ------------- |

my lcs has an opened box missing maybe 2 packs in it, sells the packs @ 50 ea and he said he'd give me a discount if i took the whole thing, but my luck and shortage of $ say DONT GO FOR IT :) ------------- http://buymmacards.com/scripts/buymmacards/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7617&title=sirmoonshine - My Feedback & http://photobucket.com/sirmoonshine - Photobucket |

value of the box - maybe $300 thrill of the chase - prices at $whatever you are willing to pay???

| was thinking about this again last night.. i know people paid near 200 for a box of leaf international..myself included. there were only a few cards that you could pull that made the box worth that..and if you hit a khalidov np /60 and some no name red autos..you could lose 190 of your 200..i know 200 and 800 are very different, but sometimes it is about the gamble and the chase.. maybe the guy pulls the cain VD red 1/1 and then his investment was a wise one..who knows? |

Matt I understand the point, BUT THIS GUY IS A COMPLETE MORON!!!
He did one of my least favorite things on Ebay. He paid $850 for a box, when there is one listed at $819 BIN!!! WHY THE HECK WOULD YOU PAY MORE!??!!? I will never understand why people do not actually look at listings. Someone did it the other night with a JDS Rookie Auto auction. They paid like $90 in an auction, and a BIN was listing for $79. IDIOTIC!!! I know where anyone can get a box for $750 each right now.... and there are a few available. Even that is too much!
