Hey all.

I was only planning on grabbing a couple boxes but my LCS owner offered me a decent price and was able to convince me to get a case. It was a fun break and I really like that they changed up some of the insert sets as they just look better than previous releases. Since they're so nice, I'm actually going to try and complete most of the insert sets for the first time.

The case had quite a few doubles and triples which I found kind of odd. Anyways, you'll see all of that in the show!



First off is the Shooting Stars inserts. Nice cards but I was never really a fan of these cause I always thought it was kinda dumb how you could only get certain cards from different types of boxes. This makes it pretty hard to put the set together which is why this is one of few sets that I'm not interested in completing. Everything is available.

Red (The Red Defenceman are apparently quite Rare)

Also not interested in doing the Canvas set so these are all available as well.

I'm looking to complete all the other sets so I'm only going to be posting the doubles I have available.

And now everybody's main interest, Young Guns. The case left me 5 cards shy of a complete set with 27 duplicates! Anyways here's all the YG variants as well as the doubles.

Would have been nice to finish the YG set but I'll take two double Hughes any day. I'll be updating my trade thread with everything I need from Series 1 later today. Thanks for looking and good luck on your breaks!

Very nice!

Don't forget to check your base for the variants. Not sure there is an easy way to spot outside of looking at each one.
 
Do you know what too look for in the base cards? I was more thorough while going through them after the easter eggs from last year I but didn't notice anything different or anything that stood out.

Not to hijack your case thread, but are the variations in the "hit" spot?

And to the OP, do you have a list of needs for insert sets?

That's a good question. I imagine the variations would be an extra hit and be in a pack with another insert kinda like some of the exclusives and clear cut cards. I just updated my want list with all my S1 needs. There's a link in my sig f you want to check it out.
 
Congrats on the case break! Some sweet cards in here.

Edit: Maybe I missed it, but I guess you didn't hit any of those 3oth Anniversary Buyback 1/1's? There are a lot of them floating around out there right now.

Also, make sure to check for those base card variations.

Wait, you didn’t get a full YG set in a case? That’s unsatisfactory. You’ve always got a complete set from a case. That is a huge bummer.

This isn't the first time I was missing some YGs from a case. I was missing Mantha and Hyman from my 16-17 Series 1 case. This time I'm missing 5 and one of them is one of the better ones in Ryan Poehling.
 
I've been breaking cases of series 1 and 2 for nearly 10 years and I've always got a full set of Young Guns if I don't get a full set this year I'm going to be pissed

Hopefully you get the full set. Maybe I just have bad luck cause out of 3 cases of series 1 and 2 that I've bought I've only ever got a full set once. I was still really happy with this case since I hit some decent doubles. If I would have just hit 1 Poehling I'd have been over the moon. Would only need a few of the lower end Yg's to finish it then.
