Ok, so the box season is winding down - notwithstanding the big boys (Dominion, Cup) which I won't be tapping in to.
Looking back on the box breaks - some real stinkers but some pretty nice pulls along the way. Below are my Top 10, let's see yours in whatever quantity or type.
Honorable mention goes to the Eberle/Subban YG RC's, Skinner Contenders ROY Auto /50, Artifacts Nash Jersey/Patch /25 - Tundra Tandems Jersey Crosby/Ovechkin /75, Tavares Crown Royale Heirs Patch /25, and an SPGU Kadri Significant Numbers Jersey Auto /43.

Here we go:

#10. First UD Patch pull in 4 years



#9. Great Triple jersey of the Oil crew



#8. Nice Auto RC



#7. Great Parallel



#6. Stud RC



#5. Seguin Zenith Auto RC /199 redemption - no scan, still waiting for the card.

#4. Mario Lemieux Crown Royale Legends Auto /25 redemption, no scan - still waiting for the card.

#3. Great low #/5 Toews Auto



#2. Dual auto of 2 greats - and a 1 of 1



#1. Who else could top this list!

My top 5 pulls of the 2010-11 card season...

#5



Killer Staal card, #/10, not a bad Crown Royale pull.

#4



A nice SPGU Authentic Fabrics Fives. Not a Rangers fan, so it's available, haha.

#3



This is the card that paved the way for my non-Bruins PC. Eventually I picked up a couple Ovechkin cards that warranted a PC dedicated to him, but this one was the first card I wanted to keep that wasn't a Bruins piece. Pulled it from a retail 3-pack of Certified at Target. KILLER third jersey patch, numbered to 10, I just didn't have the heart to part with it!

#2



That one came from the last couple packs in the box at a local news shop. Total shocker for me, especially since it was a PC card. Sweetness!

#1



Incredibly hard to move it, but I did, and I ended up with more than enough amazing PC stuff for it. Would have been nice to hold on to it, but I couldn't pass up the offer I got.

great topic, I haven't open many boxes myself...


happy collecting

All are long gone, but my top 5 pulls.

Honorable mentions:
Jordan Eberle Score SSP RC
P.K. Subban SP Game used team marks auto /50
Jamie Benn Certified Green auto /5


5. Taylor Hall SPX Finite RC /99

4. Marc-Andre Fleury Certified Patch Auto /5 (same box as Benn)

3. Taylor Hall Score Auto

2. Jordan Eberle Limited Auto RC

1. Sidney Crosby SPX flashback fabrics auto (same box as the hall finite)

I can safely say I made my money back on box breaks this year.

Awesome stuff! I would say mine would be:

5. Gordie Howe/Mark Howe 2 Sign of the Times OR Tyler Seguin FW Auto

4. P.K. Subban Ultimate Debut Threads Signed Jersey /50

3. Gordie Howe SPA Immortal Inks 1/10

2. Sidney Crosby SPA Limited Auto Patch Redemption /100

1. Gordie Howe SPx Shadow Box Signatures

Hard to decide on this. Top ten cards would take too long for me to decide so going with top 5

5. May not like this player but the patch is sick.





Still waiting for this in mail. Got in a group break and was sent to me during Canada Post Lockout. Me thinks it is lost in the mail.

4. Steven Stamkos UDSPGU Redemption Autographed Lettermark to /50

3. Sid the Kid (trade pending in near future) 3/10




2. Crosby/Lecavalier/B.Richards



1. JVR 1/3 UDSPGU Game Gear



Honorable Mentions

JR Auto



And a couple cards pulled this year but from previous box seasons

09/10 OPC Premier Miikka Kipprusoff 7/10 Quad Patch Remanents



Ryan Jones SPA FW Auto Patch 08/09 (I think it is 08/09, could be 09/10)



And last but not least, obtained in a trade earlier this year with Dragik and one of my fav cards in my collection.

Devan Dubnyk The Cup Auto Rookie.

Clearly I'm nowhere close to the realm of the luck I'm seeing displayed here.... nonetheless...I've already posted all of these in previous threads. My top 5 hits of 2010-11:

5) PK Subban Contenders Auto RC
4) Crosby UD Patch /15
3) Eberle SP Auto RC
2) Seguin Ultimate Auto RC /99
1) Hall FW Auto Patch

Special mention to my Cheevers /25 Contenders Auto.

Some insane cards here! My top pull is probably a Skinner Contenders Auto RC. I don't have a scan of it, as I sold it.
jafi1972 - I really want that Ryan Jones patch auto if you are willing to move it
