I was in Maple Leaf Sports here in Calgary the other night, busting some Beehive as I do every year at this time. Working towards the yearly master set, which keeps me continually busy for years down the road.

Well, 4 boxes didn't give me much in the way of excitement, maybe a few I needed, but nothing of great note.

So, after I finished, I asked the owner, Darren (Clark 17), what I should crack next. I think I asked him whether or not I should open a box of Hot Prospects or Between the Pipes... which would I enjoy most and give me the least chance of buyer's remorse.

Darren pointed to a box of BTP and suggested it since I'd already opened a box and was working towards the set.

Plastic comes off and the first pack yielded this...

Darren tells me that the first row seems to pay off in most of the boxes he's seen.

A few packs later gives me a Dan Cloutier Mask card - while playing for the Kings. I didn't know he ever played for them. The things you learn from reading the backs of hockey cards...

About 2/3 of the way through, a nice, stiff pack contains...

1/10 !!!!!

I figured I hit my box odds (I got my Forgotten Franchises insert as well), and was ready to finish off the last 2 packs with base cards...

Out pops this SP

Pretty happy, to say the least.
All cards NFT... they're already spoken for.

However, I do have these from another box which I can part with...

You did very well with the 2 BTP Boxes....the Hasek Stick & Jersey looks to be the gold version /10
 
wow awesome breaks, please tell him to unplug his internet to give the rest of us a chance at some clarks on ebay heh

either that or to send me a couple of the 1/1's he's picked up this year :p
 
Hey Lawbick,
Paying $85 CDN for Beehive at Darren's.
Always pretty good prices there.
BTP was $119.
where do you shop in Calgary?

Michael, great pulls man, WOW!:eek:

That Roy is a beauty and my favorite but I imagine Kendall is close to removing the door from it's hinges for the Fleury. What a fat seam on that one! And good to hear Darren taking care of things, he's a solid hobby dude!;)

Congrats again buddy!:)

That sure was a loaded box... :cool: I'm a mightpartial to all of the purty INK'ed items.... :cool:

I'd have to agree with you, Darren has his moments... ;) Congrats on your rippin' results and goodluck with your BeeHive set!

Brian
 
VERY nice pulls! Congrats!

BTW if the hasek is not the gold version I would be very interested in sliding some PayPal your way for it. LMK
Thanks,
Don
