The SCN "REAL" MARKET REPORT:
With 6 hits per box, the per hit price is high but the early pulls have been excellent. Plenty of $400-$1000+ singles. Seems alot of the boxes are loaded with oldtimers such as Ruth, Cobb, Mantle ect. Solid product and collectors are happy with the early breaks so far.
