Finally - 16 months after I dropped them off with local breaker Ryan Cook @ 403 Box Breakers, our group submission finally arrived yesterday, and was able to pick them up at MLS today. Here are the results:

2003-04 YG's - The MAF came back exactly where I figured it would, but with so few of his graded YG's available, I thought it was worth submitting. Burns came back stronger than expected.

2010-11 Seguin YG's - When I submitted these, the Stars had just come off a trip to the Stanley Cup Final. Seguin then misses almost all of the next season, and was off to a slow start this year, so his YG's have really dropped off, but still nice looking cards, grading a bit better than I expected.

2013-14 YG's - Both of these had foil issues on the front, but with values where they were I thought I'd still get them slabbed.

2016-17 YG's - Happy with Matthews, but don't really see where Marner gets dinged on the edges. Oh well.

Eichel & Makar YG's - Very happy with the True Gem++ Eichel, hopefully he comes back with Vegas soon. Too bad about the Makar. :-(

There was one Flame in the submission - my 2013-14 ICE RC /99. This is in the best 6 of all 43 graded by BGS (3 10's and 2 other TG++). Looks good with the rest of his Flames brethren.

And here were the two biggest surprises of the submission - both BGS 10!

2005-06 Henrik Lundqvist BGS 10 - Top 4.3% of all 558 graded by BGS (25 10's incl 1 Black Label)
2014-15 David Pastrnak BGS 10 - Even rarer as only 6/291 have been graded 10's by BGS (and no Black Labels)

All cards are PC, but I'm thinking of swapping the 10's for 9.5's if I can upgrade some of the BGS 9's in my collection. Trading post to come...
 
Worth the wait on those last two alone, holy crap!

If that Pastrnak ever hits eBay let us know. Would love to see the final number on that banger.
 
Overall- pretty good. Getting two 10s back in the same submission is also really nice. Thinking back, the only 10s i got back were a Nail Yakupov YG and a Frank Corrado Titanium....
