Showcase Not a Guaranteed Patch Per Box?

I like the Showcase RPAs. Trying to complete last years set. That's why I'm a little disappointed there isn't one in every box this year. But for those that are breaking and reselling, this years configuration is not as bad. The cards look half decent. The common RPAs from the last few years do sell for $5 on secondary markets.

The Canadian market is key for hockey - and when boxes of it the last couple of years have been sitting on the shelves at original prices, something had to give. $160/box you got breakers on the first few days ripping it and then it would sit because if you were looking for something to break, a lot of folks would think twice before jumping into that product. But with Showcase at about $100 Canadian/box - it doesn't feel terrible - and gives an option compared to looking to buy UD1 or UD2 at upwards of $150+/hobby box now.
