for those of you who broke boxes/packs of Champs...

[warsawknuckles]

i have a question about the autos that you may have pulled. i bought 5 boxes and about 8 loose packs and got 12 autos. one is a redemption, 10 are black backs, and i did pull a red back of Tomas Holmstrom. of the 10 black backs, 9 were signed in blue ink with some sort of sharpie or felt-tip, one is signed in black with the same type of pen, but the Holmstrom is signed with what appears to be a red ball-point!

just wondering if anyone pulled anything similar to this...



ps. if anyone has any of the Erik Johnson mini parallels FT (that aren't black back), lmk.

Couldn't tell you...but I hope to by later today.

I am headed down to grab two boxes this afternoon - I'll post the break here for all to see and hopefully give you some information.

The ink on the Front is not a "variation" to my knowledge but the color of the writing on the back is. If you read the info on the packs it shows the odds of the variations. I thin it's Red back 1:case, Blue 1:2 cases, Purple 1 in a million... Hope this helps. Mike

There are variations with the backs but there have been different color of inks used for the signature... there are 2 or 3 that have been signed in blue or black with one signed in red.


He might have run out with one pen and just grabbed something to finish off a few cards

I pulled a Holmstrom and mine is signed in black.

the ink used to sign the cards isnt what distinguishes between the parallels, the ink they used to print the back of the cards are.

i pulled a jp dumont purple back auto

I knew that. I was just letting them know that there are different ink colors used as well.

I pulled a red back auto of Wayne Gretzky :dance:

doesn't anyone actually read the original post before they create a reply post? :|

i mean, jeez... gimme some credit for having at least half a brain... "red back" variation is pretty distinguishable from "red ink"... just wondering if anyone else got one signed in ball-point.

I know, that's why i replied saying that mine was signed in black ink. I knew you were asking about ink color not the color on the back.
