07/08 Upper Deck series 1 4 tin break

[richkulach]

Not sure if this has been posted here before but Walmart here in Regina has last years UD tins on for $5 a pop so I decided to grab 4 of them.

Here is what I picked up.

Almost a full base set.
Oversized: Latendress, Kovalchuk, Havlat, Vanek
Hometown heroes: DiPietro, Raycroft (x2)
NHL's Best: Crosby, Lecavalier, Miller (x2)
Lord Stanleys Heroes: Pronger

Game jerseys: J.P. Dumont (white), Pronger (white)

Young Guns (in the order they came out, 2 per tin):
Tom Gilbert, Brady Murray, Tyler Weiman, Cory Murphy, Rob Schremp, Milan Lucic, Nicklas Backstrom, Patrick Kane!

Not bad if I do say myself. The last 2 YG's and Pronger game used all came from the last tin, glad I grabbed a fourth.

So what do you guys think? Have you guys found any good deals?

Also, everything is for trade for Nash cards I need.

You certainly got your money back and more

I would say you made out really well

$5 a pop? That seems like an awesome deal! Where do you get them? Are they unopened packs?

Yeah, they are the sealed tins from Wal-Mart. 8 packs per tin as well as 1 oversized card. They are in the toy department but the WalMarts here seem to have a card section near the tills as well these days.

Wow you did great!

So I did it again! The wife sent me out to Wal-Mart for milk and they just happen to have 4 more UD tins on for $5 so I thought 'why not?'.

Oversized: Latendress, Naslund, Malkin, Lidstrom
Hometown heroes: Latendress, Getzlaf
NHL's Best: Brodeur
Lord Stanleys Heroes: Getzlaf, Selanne
Award Winners: Malkin, Datsyuk, Brodeur

Game jerseys: Lundqvist (blue), Kovalev (black)

Young Guns (2 per tin again):
YG Checklist, Denis Tolpeko, Jared Boll, Jack Johnson, Daniel Winnik, Peter Mueller, Sam Gagner, and some guy known as Carey Price! Wow!

Can't believe the luck I have had with these tins!

I brought 2 tins and got no YGs. What is up with that?

 

[richkulach]

None? Thats really odd. I seemed to get 2 young guns, and 2 other inserts of some sort such as Hometown heroes, Stanley Cup heroes, NHL's best, Award Winners. Did you get any of them in yours?
