How sweet it is...

So as a lot of you did, I pounced on some of the after xmas specials that a few of the online retailers were offering. The first installment of that arrived today.
DA had 2008 UD Masterpieces Football Hobby boxes for $36 ea. Because they're small, I grabbed two.

The very first pack of the box had a nice green framed jersey card in it. I'll show that to you later.
But so you can sleep tonight, I'll show you pack two of the box.

First card - Kevin O'Connell, Patriots. Really? In a low card # set, I get Kevin O'Connell?
Card two - Franco Harris, Steelers. Now we're getting somewhere...
Card three - Johnny Unitas, Colts. Only The Greatest Quarterback to ever play the game!
and what's this? a red border?
a freaking DeMarcus Ware two colour patch numbered /50?!?!??? WOOOHOOOO!!!!!! One of my favourite players!

I don't know if Jeff needs this one or not.... I hope not. I know he's close to the set, but I want to keep this bad boy....

a question of satisfaction...

For all you box breakers out there.... you know who you are... I want to know what you look for when you bust open a box? Is it a complete set? Hits? Jerseys? Or is that Jersies? Maybe autographs are your thing? Shiny parallels?
And at what cost? How do you rank whether you've just opened a good box, or a bad one?
I'm just looking for opinions here.

For example. You buy a box for $30. In it you find a complete base set, an auto,
and a four colour game used patch.
Are you happy?
The reason I'm not showing what product this is will be revealed in my next post where I will post my box break review.
Let me know what you think now, AND after you find out what these came from. Your opinion may change.
