Went to the Dave and Adams inaugural Good Customer show on Sunday with Geschrocks33 and made a couple decent pickups on the cheap.
First, got these 2 McDavid OPC Platinum Rookies for a song (both FT/FS)

Got a couple other small items not really worth mentioning, but...
I'm sure a thread like this exists but figured I'd start one just in case.
E-Pack has been met by many with mixed reactions. Some love it while other HATE it.
Here's my 2 cents on it first, and then I'd love to hear from all you guys on what your perspective is.
Pros:
For me, now that I live...
With no hobby shops within a reasonable driving distance of me in my new town, I was thrilled to go home to Buffalo so I decided to head to Dave and Adams with my good buddy Derrick (geschrocks33).
First up SPA:
Legends -
Mario Lemieux
Glenn Anderson

Not sure why I seem to keep buying so much 14-15 Artifacts but I must admit, it's been kind to me for the most part.
These Artifacts breaks came from Breakaway Sports Cards - I HIGHLY recommend them, thanks as always Chuck!

GUs/Autos:
Nice to pull...
Busted a few boxes of 13-14 and 14-15 Artifacts recently and finally found the time to scan my hits.

At that point, I was already somewhat pleased as I had hit a decent rookie in Tarasenko, a couple patches, and some decent GUs...
Was really excited for today's Series 1 release as I pre-ordered a box for the first time ever.
Can't really say I'm thrilled, but at least a bonus hit made me feel a little better.
Started off with the 24 packs of 14-15 Series 1:

Jordan Eberle

Phil Kessel x2

Went to a local show in Buffalo while I was in town this morning with Derrick (geschrocks33) and boy am I glad we did!
Was able to land some HUGE pieces for my PCs and found some stellar bargains to boot!
First off some traders:
Filip Forsberg 13-14 Score RC
Evander Kane 13-14 H&P 10th...
Before I get to the reason for the title, let's take a look at some group break hits and PC Pickups that've come in the past couple days!
The Kessel Jambalaya was definitely a nice surprise.
The Ekblad is the level 2 /399 and the Barkov is /125. The 2 McCabes came in an AWESOME trade with...
Home sick from work today with some time on my hands so I finally got around to scanning a TON of stuff that's come in over the last few months. I'm sure I've shown a couple things before but I'm sick and can't remember so deal with it!:P lol
On with the show! Everything for trade besides the...
Sadly the LCS closest to my apartment carries virtually NOTHING for hockey so I've ventured out to local Walmarts and Targets and got a few blasters.
Here's what I got:
13-14 Select Blaster
Henrik Sedin Cornerstone
Steve Oleksy RC
13-14 UD Series 1 Blaster
Probably the best of the...

I did this case break with my good friend Rich (Walter_Sobchak) a few weeks back but I've been busy unpacking at my new apartment so I'm only just now getting around to posting my hits lol.
First though, got a GREAT deal on an ebay lot.
All those are available except the Granlund/Dumba...
Went into an LCS today and saw they had a mostly full box of SPA. Ended up buying somewhere around 18 packs or so and cleaned out the box.
What was weird to me, is that in those packs, I got all the stated inserts and such, FOUR FW non-autos and only 1 auto. Anyone ever see that before? I...
I've mostly been out of the hobby for almost 2 years now as college loans have taken priority in my spending (rightfully so lol) but I went a little hog wild the other day at the new Dave and Adams store with Derrick (geschrocks33)!
First up a tin and blaster of 13-14 UD S1/2:
Overall pretty...
