Part of ~lance's adventure in Piniglarism
When I was younger I was always drawn in by stores that sold “grab bags.” Usually these stores put random junk into a brown paper sack and labeled them in big letters, GRAB BAG. They usually had a sign that told the one prize that everyone hoped to get. My favorite type of grab bags were those that had baseball cards. Most grab bags were always filled with plastic junk or common baseball cards (no valuable ones) and I can’t remember ever getting anything good. For some reason though I kept purchasing these early bags of crap.
I have this “friend” who decided to send me an email about this company that sells items at good prices. On this particular day they were having a bootleg bag of crap sale Yugster mystery box sale. The cost of the mystery box was $15. (Box Contents Plus Shipping). You didn’t know what you were going to get but you had the chance to win some cool gadgets.
My mystery box finally came and all I got was the same junk that my friend got. No variations, no cool gadgets, nothing worth $15! Check out this picture to see all of my junk! http://shallowthinker.com/2008/01/you-get-what-you-pay-for/
