Verified Trader,
Sorry folks - no pictures as I haven't made the move to an alternative photo sharing source yet. Also, not trading or selling at this time.
I opened one box of retail (24 packs) and 2 hobby boxes. I love the look of the base set and the history involved there and in the high numbers. It really is unfortunate with the notable exclusions.
Between the three boxes, I completed one base set and was 12 cards short on a second - that was pretty lucky on collation for me!
My retail box:
Hit the high number SP's and diecuts as advertised.
ML-JV James Van Riemsdyk jersey (beat the odds on getting a jersey!)
MLM-JV Jack Valiquette Autograph
My two hobby boxes:
Hit the high number SP's and diecuts as advertised.
One gold parallel /100 in each box.
ML-PK Phil Kessel jersey (of all the Leafs I could have gotten, why did it have to be Phil? lol)
MLM-TF Tom Fergus Auto
MLM-LB Laurie Boschman Auto
MLM-KM Kirk Muller Auto (1:107 packs)
MLM-WC Wendel Clark Auto (1:689 packs)
I was very happy with my autograph results overall.
In regards to value, as a Leaf fan, I definitely feel like my break was worthwhile. Even without the Clark, there was good value for those trying to build the entire set, or wax nostalgic about the Leafs. I actually had a, "I can't believe I forgot Muller played for the Leafs" moment.
Good luck with your breaks folks!
