So this has easily been the product of the year so far. U did another two boxes and here are the results. I will post the cards in order of how they came in the pack. On a side note I love how the cards tend to get packed worst to best the majority of the time.


I will just this off as saying that I get my wife to open my boxes for me. It is just fun to watch her reaction as she says who the player is and what the card is numbered out of.

BOX ONE:


***Roy jersey /40. When you pull a card of your childhood's favourite player on your favourite team you get happy



***Lazar Maximum Memorabilia /25. Now after these first two hits I am thinking that it has not been the greatest start but not quite worried yet



***Hull / Modano / Leclair patch /12. So I am happy but I do not really collect any of these players. If I was American I may have a different opinion


My wife looks at the card and says "oh cool" so I am thinking it is something big.



***Theodore Rare Materials /12. Now I unfortunately am a little disappointed. Not that the card is a bad card but their are some big hits in this product and my last two must have been my box hits


I tell my wife that even though it is a cool card it is not really a big money card.

Now my wife looks at the last card and says "now this is a really big card"



***Bourque shield patch /3. OK now I am very, very happy with this box.



BOX TWO:



***Esposito jersey /10. Not the biggest of names but hey it is a lower numbered card so decent start.



***Kane Maximum Memorabilia /5. Hey it is nice to hit one of these jumbo jerseys of a good player from the London Knights jersey. Very happy with the start now.



***Droun Maximum Memorabilia /1. Holy crap now this box is loaded. Very happy.



***Thornton / Forsberg / Sakic patch /5. Now I am almost in awe. Another great hit. I have very little expectations for the last card but I am happy with that.



***Kennedy / Horton Vintage Memorabilia /3. Did not expect this one. I figured I had some regular jersey coming here. Total print run of all five cards from this box is 24. Lets see someone else beat that.

700 freaking goals!!!! He is one of the all time greatest players to play the game!!!!!!!!!!

Oh I agree that he had an incredible career. I mean not the biggest of names in terms of collectability. This product is loaded and he is one of those bad players to pull. It just shows how stacked that this product really is.
 
Overall nice looking stuff in this product however the Maximum Memorabilia cards might be the ugliest looking cards of all time. Who cares about a massive hunk of jersey when the "design" or lack thereof looks like that.

Was thinking that myself - I wouldn't go as far as saying they are the ugliest cards of all time, but they are reminiscent of the previous regime to some extent.

Leaf has really blown this one right out of the park, IMO. There is a lot of innovation in the designs, license or not, and there seems to be a tremendous amount of value in each box.
 
I just wish that their would have been very short printed Maximum Patches

This!!! Overall this is Leaf's best hockey release yet. However, if you're going to create a list of Maximum SP's (especially a #1/1) I would expect those shorter print runs to have a notable difference in the swatch itself. Whether it be an extra seam, more colors or using a patch v. jersey. Seeing a #1/1 one-color jersey swatch is just underwhelming.

Congrats on those hits though; the triple patch is solid!
