This was my first ever vending case. I got most of the premier cards from the set, including the Clemens and McGwire rookies.
I learned a couple things about vending cases:
(1) There were no duplicates. This could be a positive since it is more likely that this case includes 1 Clemens or McGwire compared to opening packs until you get 500 cards. It is also a more efficient way to complete a set since you will get 500 "unique" cards. But it is also a drawback since you have no chance of getting more than 1 of any card, elite cards included.
(2) Most of the cards aren't in pristine condition. Don't get me wrong - the cards were very nice. But there were few, if any, PSA 10's. I think the reason for this is that a vending case has one layer of protection (i.e., the cardboard case itself) while a box that contains unopened packs has a double layer of protection (i.e., the box AND the pack).
Regardless, I'm very happy with the purchase. Good job 1neatstuff!
