Opening 2008 Playoff Absolute Memorabilia hobby box

Because I am heavily collecting 2008 Playoff Absolute Memorabilia, I bought an unopened hobby box for $51. 4 packs with 4 cards each.  "On average" 4 memorabilia or autos per box. Here's how I think it will break down: 8 base including 1 superstar 3 parallels 1 insert 2 Rookie Game used stuff--1 I will have, 1 will be okay but not fill a need 1 redemption card 1 decoy card sigh. Here's how it broke down: 8 base.  Superstar -- Ray Lewis, oh boy 1 insert -- Stargazing Ray Rice 9/25 2 rookies -- Shawn Crable & Reggie Smith (have both) 1 parallel -- Devin Hester 27/100 1 decoy card, but it did not effect things Chris Long rookie auto 25/99 Darren McFadden Stargazing giant patch 16/25 (HAVE -- damn it) John David Booty Stargazing jersey number cut 22/25 Kevin Smith Rookie Premiere Materials NFL 144/199 (have) 12 out of 16 needed.  Not worth it.  drag.

Opening 2006 Upper Deck Rookie Debut box -- Final

I got the complete base set (#1 - 100) plus 23 doubles. 28 rookies, plus 2 GU, 2 Autos, 12 inserts, 1 parallel, plus 8 advertisements All in all, about what I expected.  Nothing great, although 4 GU or Autos is better than I guessed.  Hoping for more inserts.  Probably worth the $9
