My Next Personal Box Break!

It's been quite some time since I busted a box of cards for myself - going back to Allen & Ginter's release last summer in fact.  I've made a deal with myself that I won't be adding any more sets to my want list until I figure out a way to get a bunch of sets off my want list.  As of this moment, I haven't simply given up and deleted anything...but that time may come before the calendar switches to 2020!  That said, today I have a fun way to both have cards to rip open and (hopefully) make solid progress on my want list.

I have a hobby box of 1999 Pacific Private Stock that I bought a couple of years ago that I'm finally ready to rip.  I had bought this box and put it aside for some reason...and then it ended up getting buried and basically forgotten about until a recent cleaning and organizing of my collection.  I have to admit, finding the box was a fun surprise and ever since I did find the box I've been itching to rip it open!

I have a large want list for the set right now so I'm hoping to make a serious dent in what I need by the time this box is completed.  For the record, here's what I need heading into the box rip for 1999 Pacific Private Stock:
1999 Pacific Private Stock Wants:Base:  2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 12, 13, 16, 18, 19, 23, 24, 25, 27, 28, 29, 30, 34, 39, 40, 47, 49, 51, 52, 53, 54, 60, 61, 62, 64, 65, 72, 74, 76, 78, 81, 82, 83, 85, 88, 90, 91, 94, 96, 98, 101, 104, 105, 107, 110, 111, 113, 114, 115, 116, 117, 119, 120, 122, 124, 125, 126, 127, 131, 133, 134, 135, 139, 143, 145, 146
As you can see, I'm only trying to complete the base set which means any inserts or what not will probably end up as trade bait.  Unlike a lot of Pacific products, the 1999 Private Stock set actually doesn't have much in the way of inserts.  I do like that Pacific made the odds clear and easy-to-read on their box at least.

I'm looking forward to the box rip - both for my own set collecting purposes but also as a way to perhaps distract me from the fact that I have yet to rip a single pack of any 2019 product!  Here's to old stuff, am I right?!

As usual with me, I like to enjoy my personal box rips so I'll probably spread the process out over several days.  While I do plan to show off what I get on the blog, I'll try to intersperse some other posts throughout to keep everyone engaged! 

This ought to be a fun start to my spring break - come back soon for the first packs out of the box!
