(4) Blasters 2014-15 MVP

[neo1370]

Broke four boxes yesterday with my girlfriend. Here is the breakdown of what we got

12 packs ea. x 4 blasters = 48 packs x 5 cards/pack = 240 cards

Base doubles: 64

Base SP's, Stated odd (1:2): 24

Parallels, Stated odds (1:2):
Silver Scripts (1:2) - 24, including 8 base SP's
Gold Scripts (#'d /100) - 2, Vermette and B. Richards base SP

Three Stars, Stated odds (1:13):
Weekly (1:13) - 4
Monthly (1:96) - 1, Khudobin/Kessel/Pavelski
Rookie of the Month (1:80) -1, Raanta

Souveniers (1:2880): None

Prosign (1:1320): None

Rookie Redemptions (1:3840): None

Overall, I was pretty happy with the break. None of he long-shot hits but the odds were pretty spot on and it was nice getting the 2 Gold Scripts.

I bought some of these blasters (5). I hadn't looked at the odds before picking them up, or the checklist. I guess I was expecting that it would be similar to MVP in the past. Jersey odds were like 1:48, autos about 10 times as scarce. I definitely figured that there would be tons of rookies in there, I didn't realize there were only like 8 rookies on the entire checklist.

I was super disappointed to find out that the colors and contours inserts were hobby only.

The gold scripts are nice, but the player of the week/month and rookie of the month cards have little to no value on the secondary market.

Overall, the only thing that makes this set worth buying for me is the colors and contours subset, and they are hobby only, so retail to me is a bust.
