Well, to say the least I am not very happy with the $220 I spent at the card shop for the 2 boxes I got.

Not sure if anyone else is having a collation (sp?) problem but this was just plain disappointing!

Box one had 121 cards total. Guess what! 44 of them were duplicate base and many had 3-5 copies.

Here are the "highlights" of box one:
Schremp and Girardi Auto RC's
Moss Reg RC
Lidstrom Red HoloFX die cut
Draper and Prucha SOTT
Modano SP Notables
No complaints with the pulls since I hit the averages but the duplicate base was just plain crazy. Oh and there were 4 cards totally damaged/crimped by the packaging machine.:badmood:

Now onto box two. Total of 123 cards in the box and guess what?! 38 were duplicates again! Only 2's and 3's this time but still give me a break.

What totally P'ed me off was NOT A SINGLE auto'ed RC! You gotta be kidding me....the reason people buy these boxes in the first place and you can't even put one in the darn box? :rtfm:

Here's what crawled out of box two:
Parent and Oates SOTT
Fraser reg RC (crimped bottom from machine)
St. Louis Red HoloFX die-cut
Thornton and Brodeur Blue HoloFX
Lidstrom and T.Esposito Notables
Perreault Notables /100
and a total of 6 more destroyed cards from corners or machine problems.:badmood:

I know they state "on average" for the auto's per box but I think that anyone buying a box and not getting a single Auto RC would be pretty ticked as well.

I am totally disgusted right now and don't know if calling UD to complain will get anything accomplished.

Sorry for the rant guys but I wanted to know your thoughts.

Forgot about the 6 loose packs I opened, they were a little better:
Red Kelly SOTT
Mikita and Thornton Notables

I broke 2 boxes of this stuff at lunch today, my 1st box had the stated odds but the 2nd had a Cheechoo SOTT and 1 Auto RC FW - Milan Lucic. Not bad for a rookie, but only 2 autos in the box :( Pretty bad, but what can you do. Remember, the box states "On average". I feel your pain...
 
No, no....I wouldn't wish boxes like these on anybody! ;)

Just got off the phone with UD and I am sending a letter with the issues to quality assurance. He said it will take 6-8 weeks to get something started but he said he has seen "complimentary products" go out for similar problems. I will believe it when I see it!
 
haha I was looking forward to reading this break today! Too bad for the horrible luck.
