First off, my apologies for no scans ... photobucket still isn't allowing me to upload my scans.
Finished the case last night ... here's the additions of note:
20th Anniversary:
Jokinen (CAR) - yes, a 2nd one
Gilroy (NYR)
Frolov (NYR)
Hornqvist (NSH)
Klein (NSH)
Franzen (DET)
Clowe (SJ)
Stajan (CGY)
Basically got 17 of these 20th anniversary parallels and the best is probably Johan Franzen
Had opened the first 12 boxes and only gotten 1 Auto - the Hot Rookie Cowen ... got two more Hot Rookies Autos in the next three boxes I opened:
Nick Bonino (ANA)
Zach Hamill (BOS)
Was happy with the 3 SP RCs I got in the first 12, but sadly only one more Shortprint RC popped out of the last 8 boxes ...
#554 Tyler Seguin -- a 2nd one, but I'll take it
Must admit that getting to the bottom of the case I was really starting to get disappointed ... it was definitely a fun break with a ton of packs to open, but I was really hoping for something cool like a buyback auto and hadn't really pulled anything striking other than the SP RCs ...
At least the second to last box was nice to me:
#321 Marian Gaborik AUTOGRAPH
Only one box left and I wasn't expecting much ... but to my surprise, out popped this:
...

Hot Rookies #559 Taylor Hall SIGNATURES (Redemption) BAM!
Now that's the way to finish a case

12 boxes into a 20 box case. Fun break, but mixed results so far ... not sure if I'm happy with the break yet or not:
INSERTS
Near Complete sets of ...
Net Cams - missing #2, 17, 20
Playoff Heroes - missing #18
Sudden Death - missing #8
Got a bunch of Franchises:
Bogosian, Miller, Toews (x2), Doughty, Koivu, Tavares, Alfredsson, Richards, Bryzgalov, E. Johnson, Gustavsson
Also a handful of Sno-Globes:
H. Sedin, Ovechkin, Kane (x2), Zetterberg, Iginla (x2), Thornton, Tavares
PARALLELS
Lots of Glossy parallels including about 35 of the 50 regular RCs
20th Anniversary - only 9 in the 12 boxes so far with none that stand out:
Pominville (BUF)
Zherdev (PHI)
Pahlsson (CBJ)
Versteeg (TOR)
Byfuglien (ATL)
Jokinen (CAR)
Shirokov (VAN)
Gerbe (BUF)
Zanon (MIN)
French Backs - only one so far, came in the 2nd box:
Matt Halischuk (NSH) -- who?
AUTOGRAPHS
Only one so far and it took me until the 11th box to get it:
Jared Cowen Hot Rookies (OTT)
ROOKIE CARDS
At least three complete sets of the 50-base RCs including 4 Kadri's and 6 Subban's ... and only 3 of the Shortprint RCs in 12 boxes ...
JEFF SKINNER - CAR
TYLER SEGUIN - BOS
TAYLOR HALL - EDM
At least they are the three that I would want if I only got three.
No Scans Yet ... seems that Photobucket isn't being very cooperative tonight.
Thanks for the look ... just about everything will be available.
