LIVE!!! A TON of boxes part V! Kern county edition

07-08 SPA, packs 1-12

Like the previous SPA break, I'll do a live box now and then another box I already broke.

Not bad. :) I really like the Holo FX series and I'm glad UD is continuing them. And this year's looks even better!

07-08 SPA, packs 13-24

Just a ho hum box but definitely not a kick in the junk. The FW /999 I can use in my set. I'm really stoked that UD has made the RCs and the SP Notables all /999. That seems to be the magic number for collectiblity (not a real word!) at least for SPA. I like Doug Wilson too.

07-08 SPA, 1x box

Now this is good box! Check out that sick patch and even an additional Limited card and of a great player too!

I can even use the Halak in my SPA set collection!!

PS - That's my FIFTH Hrudey SOTT from this set, lol.
 
08-09 UD S2, 1x box and about 15 packs

I really should just break a case of this stuff but with so many chances at Kings RCs and the parallels, I just can't resist opening loose boxes...

And I get rewarded with a Doughty hit! This is the only Doughty I can open anywhere near So. Cal.

06-07 SP Authentic, packs 1-12

Again, a half and half box live break and then the contents of another box from earlier. :)

Wrong Bruins center!! But I needed it for my set so that's good. Also, nice dual auto! That's definitely a wave 2 from 05-06. I already have this card from the 05-06 redemption. Also, the dual auto came from a decoy pack. I thought it was a patch auto because the decoys from that year are almost white on the sides, like a patch, and not brown.

I also needed the FW non-auto too. Happy :)

Cheechoo...TRY HARDER!! Signing and playoffs, haha. For the sake of your family in Ottawa, who are your number one demand source of your cards. :D I needed the SPN for my set too. Happy to get 3 cards I needed this box. This was a real good box for me, five autos and three cards I needed for sets.

06-07 SP Authentic, 1x box

A so-so box. But here it is.

The Meszaros is wave 2 and the wrong Penguin as always. But luckily I needed him for my set. :D

05-06 SP Authentic, 2x boxes

The stuff is horribly overpriced now but I love the product so much. The entire last four years have treated me so well on this product.

Yet another patch auto and these were much tougher to pull. I also needed the Gorges and it hadn't expired just yet. It would have been worth a hundred bucks back in the day but oh well.

I was happy to get the Sturm as I had traded one away and wished that I had it back. The Lehtonen is by far the best auto on a SOTT that I've ever seen...I have busted 5 of them too.

And I'm happy to get the Ward too. I have it already but it came back only a 9.0 from BGS so I hope this one is gradeworthy.

Some nice stuff here...

I noticed your comment about putting the 05/06 Rookie Threads set together. I have done the same thing. Mine are all color minus Josh Gorges and Sid the Kid. I pulled a white swatch of Crosby, and should have bought a colored one long ago, before they went up... But oh well, as for the real challenge; that is a colored swatch of Josh Gorges. I have been earching since that product came out for this card and no luck. Never even seen one. I have asked for help many times and told its a series rare find. Good luck my friend and if you find two please let me know... As I am still looking too.

Sweet cards and thanks for sharing this massive haul!

Awesome! We should scan and share some time!

Man you made me dig for that binder, lol. I don't have a Gorges at all, he's one of 4 players I'm missing. But the white Lundqvist was one I needed. :)

06-07 BAP Portraits

This one isn't live or from Bakersfield but I opened this box about 2 years ago. I had promised myself I wouldn't promote an oddball product with cards not normal sized with my money, but one day my dealer only had this and was willing to sell it super cheap. Anyway, I loved this box but had put it away and forgotten about it. So this is the first time anyone has seen these cards since the day I put them away. I found them when digging for my Beehive oversized cards. If I get some spare cash during the off-season, I might just buy a case of this stuff.

Just the highlights...

That's probably the best looking AO card ever.

And the mojo!


I really don't mind these stickers because they are so big that they're almost the size of the card. The autos are like big 05-06 SOTT autos and large enough for the player to have needed to touch them to sign them.

And speaking of Beehive...
 
Long ago; before the color swatch craze set in me I started to scan them. But I stopped very early in the set building. Some scans are in my bucket link below. Check out the Rookie threads link. Obviously anything you see white (other then Crosby) I have doubles and would surely send to you if you need/want them. Like I said this is an old attempt at scanning some of these, Its well outdated!!! :o)

I need a few extra hours some day!
