Seeing everyone having fun with the Retail stuff gave me the itch.
We didn't get any of the Parkhurst Bonus pack Retail boxes, but we did manage to get some of the Tins. At $35.00 CAD these are great value. You get the same amount of Young Guns for roughly 70% of the price of Hobby.
Enough of the chat, out of 5 Tins, I hit the regular amount of Inserts, Canvas and Young Guns. These are the more notable hits:
Winter Classic Jumbos (Capitals v.s. Blackhawks):
#1 Brouwer
#5 Green
#6 Keith
#7 Backstrom
#9 Carlson
Game Used Jerseys
#GJ-CP Carey Price (Group B)
#GJ-JB Jonathan Bernier
#GJ-JD Jonathan Drouin
#GJ-TJ Tomas Jurco
Canvas YG:
#C112 Larkin
Young Guns
#203 Plotnikov
#208 Fiala x 2
#212 De La Rose
#225 Kenins x 3
#236 Noesen
#241 Baun
#245 Medvedev x 2
#247 Miller x 2
Noteworthy: One box produced YGs looking like this.
Those of you who pass the eye test will see that the Young Gun Foil has been labeled over the player name.
Normally I'd complain about getting the same YGs over and over in the space of 5 tins, but those who have broken enough Series 1 know that Kenins, Fiala and Miller usually lead to one more chap.
Needless to say I'm very very pleased.
All cards save for the McDavids are available. I haven't decided what to do with them yet and might send these two for grading.
Thanks for looking!
