Broke my case today. Not that great. Pretty gross really.


Base and Rookies:

Base/249 - Yzerman, Clarke, Giroux, Niemi, Kadri, Ovechkin
Rookie Auto/249 - Connor Carrick (x2), Marek Mazanec
Rookie Auto Patch - Damien Brunner, Danny DeKeyser, Brock Nelson, Charlie Coyle, Nick Bjugstad, Ryan Murphy, Matt Nieto, Elias Lindholm
Rookie Autographed Gold/25 - Jonathan Huberdeau
Rookie Autographed Rainbow/85 - Martin Marincin
Rookie Auto Patch Rainbow /Jersey Number - Alex Chiasson/12, Mark Arcobello/26, Freddie Hamilton/75
Rookie Plate/1 - Ryan Murphy (Artifacts Black), Jonas Brodin (SPX Yellow), Jack Campbell (Black Diamond Black)



Jerseys and Autos:

Jersey Quad/10 - Lucic/Krejci/Marchand/Chara
Rookie Brilliance - Boone Jenner
Program of Excellence/10 - Dougie Hamilton
2012-13 Signature Patches/75 - Patrick Marleau
Signature Patches/99 - Kari Lehtonen
Limited Logos/50 - Jeremy Roenick
Auto Rookie Draft Boards/25 - Beaulieu, Strome (redemption)





And I guess the top 3 hits (in no particular order):

Signature Sticks/35 - Sidney Crosby (redemption)
Base Patch Auto/10 - Mario Lemieux
Signature Patches/99 - Alex Galchenyuk



All in all not that great. The other case that was busted next to me wasn't that much better, and he got 3 doubles on his RPAs (2 Spooners, 2 Chris Browns and 2 Scott Laughtons). Had a great Mario Limited Logos though and a Brodeur Signature Sticks.

Not really sure what my case hit was. Out of 2 cases that were busted not one low numbered rookie either and his case was loaded with enshirnments and base jerseys. At least I got a load of rookies and the Nelson can turn into a pretty nice card.

I scanned the cards, but they scanned in black and white so I will scan again when I get a chance (SCANS ADDED NOW). All cards are available for trade or sale. Please PM me an offer with a price. I will not respond to "how much for" messages.

Actually, you did quite well on your patch RC's which is going to be the driver for this product and where 99% of breakers will make their money back....

Rookie Auto Patch - Brock Nelson, Charlie Coyle, Nick Bjugstad, Matt Nieto, Elias Lindholm
Rookie Autographed Gold/25 - Jonathan Huberdeau
Rookie Auto Patch Rainbow /Jersey Number - Alex Chiasson/12, Freddie Hamilton/75

Those are all great pulls, and if the patches are nice, even better. Personally, I think that was a very good case.....

I saw that as well That was a big case hit top 2 of /99 rc's disappointing they put as redemptions. But that's prob a 600-2000 card

thats not the true rc /99, just from a signature patch set

oh i just caught the names of the RPA you pull, no scrubs there, which made the case pretty solid

Sorry the pics were added late. If I got the Galchenyk /99 I would be over the moon. I guess the case rookies are pretty solid but nothing stands out as an overall awesome hit. A bunch of alright cards, doesn't make for a great case. Calling a Crosby a case hit at a $200 card max, not really a great hit when then doesn't even come close to paying for a pack. Believe me though I have opened worse cases then this. Maybe just a little disappointed after National Treasures which was cheaper then this and so much better to open.

Completely agree! The Chiasson is probably the top card and the patches on several are quite nice.

PM incoming!
 
Mike , it's really not that bad but do agree your NT bust was better

Congrats all the same

so where are you finding Crosby scripted sticks for less than $200? I think I've seen 1 sell for under $200.

also, there are no case hits in The Cup.
 
I'm REALLY confused as to how this was a bad case...I'm not sure this WAS a case...you got 18 Rookies in a 6 tin case? Oh and the Crosby and Lemieux suck, so I'll take them as donations please and thanks.
 
Not a bad case, but I get what your saying, no real WOW factor like pulling a /99 rc, a crazy auto patch or a shield or something.

IMO not too much to ask when dropping major coin on a product.
