2 Boxes 18-19 Artifacts

[geschrocks33]

Opened these at 2 separate times about a week or so ago just getting around to posting them now:


Box 1:

Numbered Stuff:

Vladimir Tarasenko /699
Pavel Datsyuk /599
Derek Stepan Emerald /99
Adam Gaudette RC /999

Redemptions:

Wild Card
New Jersey Devils Emerald


Hits:

Clayton Keller Dual Jersey /125
Toews/Saad/Kane/Crawford Quad Jersey /99
William Karlsson Jersey/Patch /65 (this is really sweet in person)









Box 2:

Numbered Stuff:

Logan Couture /699
Teemu Selanne /599
Alex Pietrangelo Blue /45
Sami Niku RC /999

Redemption:

Toronto Maple Leafs (Traded)


Hits:

Nikolaj Ehlers Dual Jersey /165
Anthony Cirelli Dual Rookie Jersey /499
Ethan Bear Dual Rookie Jersey /499
Steven Stamkos Jersey/Patch /65







Overall, nothing earth shattering but both decent boxes as there's a lot worse I could do than Karlsson and Stamkos patches, and both are good looking patches. The Leafs redemption is traded, I might sit on the Devils/Wild Card but still could be available.


Everything is available FT/FS, preferably would like some Mittelstadt or the Buffalo redemption from this.


Thanks for looking, comments appreciated as always.

The 2 patches and the quad jersey are nice

Off-topic, but is it only me or Artifacts is less broken on HI this year than in the past?

Awesome, nice to get patches in both boxes. I'd be interested in the Hawks card.

I would assume it's because people are sick of the same old junk it delivers. It's the same thing every year.

You did well on those patch cards! The Karlsson could do well with those Vegas fans/collectors

My theory is less and less people are posting their breaks, and they only post if something huge gets hit. Artifacts isn't exactly producing monster stuff in every box, so not many people post their hits.

A few years back it was more fun, no matter what the release was you'd see tons of breaks on release day.

It was fun to see those breaks, and it was also a nice opportunity to start trades. You see a card you like in a break, you contact the breaker and there are good chances a trade will happen.

I break far less than I used too, but I still enjoy showing my breaks.

Sometimes I wonder if people are putting all their money in the high-end stuff and the mid-end boxes are just not selling anymore. I mean, a pack of Cup is the price of a mid-end half-case/case. Someone who was doing a box of most of everything might be opening just a few high-end packs per season now.
