Figured I'd try my first "Group Break".. Could get two randomized teams out of 28 for less than the price of a single box, and needed some trade bait for my missing Osgoods, so thought it would be fun.

Ended up with Toronto and Vancouver.. Sweet!

Nothing outstanding, but nice cards just the same:

Rookie 267/999 Matt Frattin
Rookie 042/999 Joe Colborne
Rookie 066/999 Ben Scrivins
Rookie Emerald 75/99 Ben Scrivins
Rookie Redemption
autofacts Brayden Irwin

Rookie 520/999 Jann Sauve
Rookie 578/999 Cody Hodgson
Legend 722/999 Markus Naslund
Star 008/999 Henrik Sedin
Star 448/999 Ryan Kesler
Star Gold 14/25 Roberto Luongo
Rookie Redemption
Tundra Trios Luongo/Kesler/Edler 145/149


So what's the scoop on these rookie redemptions? Are they better (trade-wise) to keep unredeemed or should I redeem 'em, and hope for something nice?


NO idea what these might be worth, but again I had fun, so I can't complain too much.

All would be available, but preference goes to any cards I need from my Osgood want list. Thanks for the look!

The list for the redemptions usually come out in December sometime, usually. I think that is when they came out the last few years with the list. I could be wrong and it comes out around Jan/Feb. I do remember that the cards are in the "being made" mode @ UD around then.
 
very nice hits from your gb

was this in person gb or online? if online how fast was the shipping?
 
Thanks to everyone for the replies!

Not bad, the Canucks triple is nice.
Thanks.. I wasn't expecting much, but when I could get two entries for less than the cost of a single box, I thought it was worth a gamble. When I ended up with two Canadian teams, it was even better! No "Huge" hits, but still a lot of fun to watch!

Interested in the two Frattin and one Scrivens RC's
There's only one Frattin, but there are two Scrivens..?

PM me an offer!

interested in the Hodgson RC and maybe the vancouver Redemption

PM me an offer!

Thanks for the info.. Now; is it worth holding onto them until they're available and then list/trade them? Or should I move 'em now while the product is still hot(ish)?

This was an Online case break from C'n'C. I did the break on Oct 14th, and got 'em 2 weeks later. Not screaming fast by any means, but bear in mind that mail takes at least a few days extra arriving when you live on Vancouver Island.. :|

It WAS postmarked for the next day, so they got 'em out as soon as they could.. after that, it was at the mercy of Canada Post.. :P
 
Not bad Mike.... but little bit to much blue, white and little green for my taste ;)
kidding of course..
