Got a nice package from D & A's:

2x 3" Navy Hockey binder
2x 100 Ultra Pro silver sleeves

3x 2006/07 Between the Pipes Hobby Pack

1x 1997/98 Be A Player Series B Hobby Box
1x 1997/98 Pinnacle Certified Hobby Box
3x 2005/06 Parkhurst Hobby Box
1x 2006/07 Be A Player Portraits Hobby Box

I beat the odds on the BTP packs and the 90's boxes, plus the last Parkie box. Let's see what came out of the wax (most of the stuff is or can be made available):

3 x 2006/07 Between the Pipes Hobby Pack

Base
Mask IV #M-35 Jeff Glass (Canada)

These really look nicer in person than I thought they would.

1 x 1997/98 Be A Player Series B Hobby Box (16 packs)

Autographs: Hicks, Skalde, Mike Sullivan, Nemirovsky, Marleau, Ron Sutter, Kron, Billington, McGillis, Peake, Black, Lindgren, Cunneyworth, Millar
Prismatic Die Cut Autographs (should be pretty rare with a /100 print run - I got two): Mike Sullivan, Craig Millar
One Timers: Selanne
Stacking the Pads: Salo
Take A Number: Mogilny

Just love the insert design...they really stand out, as inserts should!
Very weak autos, though the two Prismatics were nice (bad players of course, but still.)

1 x 1997/98 Pinnacle Certified Hobby Box (20 packs)

Certified Red (1:5): Richter, Verbeek, Hebert, Derian Hatcher, Travis Green
Mirror Red (1:99): Kariya
Certified Summit Silver (1:29): #S2 Paul Henderson
Certified Team (1:19): Keith Tkachuk

Beat the odds on quite a few of the cards here. I like the look of the Summit Silver cards!

1 x Be A Player Portraits Hobby Box (6 packs)

Base: Jagr, Hasek, Phaneuf, Savard, Toivonen, Lundqvist
Portait Premieres RC: Stastny, Kessel x2, Welch, Williams, Thoresen
First Exposures Jersey: Boogaard, J.Jokinen x2, M.Koivu, Cam Ward, Wolski
Signature Portraits 8x10: Marleau x2, Cam Ward, Paille, Bouwmeester SP, Vokoun
Dual Signature Portraits 8x10: Khabibulin / Ruutu

Got some of the better RC's and OK autos, but didn't like the fact that a box with a total of 25 cards has three doubles - and a jersey, a RC and an auto at that. Wouldn't have minded base doubles as much.

This was actually much better, with one extra auto and two decent /100's. But what makes this box a most definite HIT is this:



















Oh right, first you need to see scans of the other great Parkie cards I pulled :D

Thanks for looking, comments appreciated :cool:
 
It looks like you had a nice day.

Can I ask you how much you paid for the Certified box? I'm thinking since a while about getting a box of that stuff, I really like how it looks.
 
odjickfan: The Pinnacle Certified box cost me $15, very nice stuff for such a price.

Dominator: The only thing I saw was the Parise SPA AU RC.
