Well, I went out and visited my compatriots at the Transit Rd store in Williamsville today, went just to visit, but came out like a bandit. Three boxes total today:
#1 09/10 Heroes and Prospects - If you've seen any of my other breaks, you know I really REALLY like this product, for a very good reason. Well today gives me even more reasons to like it....

Landon Ferraro Jumbo Jersey Black - Looks like stains, blood?

Jonathan Bernier Jersey Black - Nice 2 Color

Now, this would normally be #1 hit any other box...
Evander Kane Jumbo Emblem Silver 1/3 - Almost the whole puck from the CHL Logo!!! -GONE

But....here's hoping Taylor Hall is taken Second Overall...

So I next decided to get the last 08/9 UD Ice box they had...I just had a hunch it'd be good...

Rookies:
Alexandre Bolduc /1999
Tyler Sloan /1999
Shawn Matthias 999/999 - Kinda cool

and the really good hit of the box - Level 1 James Neal 62/99

So I've done really good at this point, and decided to press my luck with a pretty low risk box...2005/06 ITG Heroes & Prospects Series 1 Arena...a little old $19.95 special box
I've always loved the way this product looked and figured why not, at least try and get a base set. Now autographs are 1 in every 48 packs in Arena, so 1 in every 2 boxes. There are 190 different autographs, 175 singles and 15 duals, so the odds of pulling any 1 particular autograph is 1 in 9120 packs. So I get about 18 packs in and one of the cards is sticking to back of another...its an autograph. As I slowly peel the cards apart, I see a Rimouski Oceanic and their logo...yep...I was shaking

Thanks all for the comments, they're greatly appreciated! Still can't get over the fact that that Sid auto was sitting in a box for $19.95...might go back and try for the Ovie now haha
 
LJ - I hate you. LOL!!

Funny, Transit was where I pulled my Crosby auto from 06-07 H&P...


OK, I just gotta say it once...... HEY! I WAS GONNA BUY THAT BOX!!!
 
I am going to have to hit up that store someday after the Hamburg one closes.

Definitely, or if you're in the south towns the one on Sheridan near Niagara Falls Blvd might be closer. That one is just a few blocks from home, but I was out in Williamsville, so glad I stopped in haha
