Mail Day: Vault Card Club (Take 2)

Last Tuesday I opened my first (and probably last) Vault Card Club subscription box.

As I mentioned in that post, I didn't get the "Vault Club Pack" (or whatever) that was promised as part of the package.  Today VCC made right and delivered a pack of hits to complete that order.

I am glad they stuck to their word and completed my shipment, but I'm still not overly impressed.  Three cards, they are all autographed, and I did finally hit on a Phillie.  But I still don't think I got $30 worth of value out of this box.

The 3 "hits" I got are all pitchers, 2 Bowman and a Donruss.  We got a 2014 Matt Imhof on-card on a Bowman Chrome, a 2011 Bowman Chrome Matt Burke (both are "1st Bowman Cards), and a 2014 Donruss The Rookies' on-sticker for Stolmy Pimentel.

The whole experience with Vault Card Club was a let down.  The packs were not that impressive, and these 'hits' didn't exactly set the world on fire.

So I'm going to confirm my original grade score of Vault Card Club as a C-.

Vault Card Club Review

I decided to give Vault Card Club a try after watching one of Jabs' unboxing videos.  I wish I had not.  On the website, which is laughably amateur, they advertise a "Vault Pack" which is all "hits".  To get a vault pack, you have to add a note to your order, which I did.  However, I did not get the vault pack.  Instead I got 2 packs of drafts, 2 recent series 1 packs and 2 recent Heritage packs.  Hardly worth the $29.95 I paid.  Not hardly, nowhere near.  The quality of packs was disappointing.  They say "5-7 packs", I got 6 and they replace one pack with the hits pack.  So if I had gotten that, would I have not gotten one of the higher end Heritage packs?  Or would that have been the seventh pack?
