07-08 Ultimate Collection

Probably not a wise decision and it wound up being a kick in the junk, but I got a real nice Jack Johnson auto for my collection.

Mason Raymond looks real good in the playoffs too.

08-09 SP Game Used, packs 5,6

This box could have really easily been a kick to the junk but Mason saves the day.

[GrimUSMC]

Yeah that was a kick to the junk until Mason came along.

 

[Rorschach]

Yeah, the dealer only had one pack left and a whole box and I didn't really want to touch that box. I think I got the patch out of that box already last time I was there, was a spectacular Modano patch.

08-09 Champs

I got to really hand it to Karvin this year, I love so many of the products despite the weaker rookie crop. Champs is awesome. I bet next year it's over ordered though...

Ahh, the CURSE IS BROKEN!! I FINALLY OPENED A DOUGHTY WHILE IN LA!!
This box was great for me as nearly all the SP cards were ones I needed for my Champs set.

I also pulled 8x Natural History cards (I love these, I got the Puffer Fish!) along with the 3x mini RCs so I'm pretty happy. Also, was a brown back Gagne.

The bone came in the mail the other day, it was part of an earlier break.

BTW, you see this sick-*** save today????

You're UNBELIEVABLE, WHOA!

I'm not a big fan of that product and the dealer wouldn't open it for me.

No luck yet on Doughty letters either, Tim.

That fossil is SWEET. Thought you pulled it jsut not for a sec. haha

 

[Rorschach]

08-09 SP Authentic, packs 1-12

My fave product, you will see me opening this stuff for the next four years probably. Half a box at a time...

Nice hit on the Brunnstrom but ironically, it's the Lewis that makes me happy. I still need to break the Doughty though.

Nice job to UD in making the /999 non-auto FWs have some more value, simply by mixing in the numbers with the auto FWs. Every year, UD misses out on some rookies autos like Penner, Armstrong, Rinne, Green and such and in 05-06, those cards are worthless because they are /1999 and separate from the main auto FW RC class. Now cards like S. Kostitsyn actually had value because the cards are similar enough to the auto ones.

Yeah, boy, save those THICK Champs packs for last!! lol.

08-09 SP Authentic, packs 13-24

So the dealer was asking me, how many autos do you get in a box of SPA hockey? Like 2? 3? I'm like, you get 3 or more it seems. My last two boxes I pulled two patch autos, one box the patch auto was the 4th auto.

And here we go, a 4 auto box.

I feel sorry for people who open basketball, pay $20 more per box and get only 2 autos, haha.
