FUN box of Contenders!
FUN box of Contenders!
Yup, I'm still buying this product. I've had quite a bit of luck with it - 7 boxes have resulted in 3 Eberles and 1 Hall. My first box was memorable because of an awesome Cheevers autograph, and I also opened a box that had an Eberle auto (5th auto of the box!) and a 1/1 plate in the final 2 packs. The last box featured a redemption for the elusive Paajarvi /99 rookie ticket. This latest box was entertaining as hell!
First, some numbered inserts: McRae Rookie Ticket 20/100 (love getting rookie tickets as the numbered parallel!), and Henrik Sedin 46/50.
Next, my three autographs. Scored an autograph I needed for my set (Ekman-Larsson) and now I'm 7 away!
That means one more autgraph. It was this beauty, which I'm seriously considering adding to the PC as an upgrade in subsection "Legends Autographs" - Numbered 30/50
So that was that, until this fella came along. This was pretty cool...as I mentioned above, I did pull a printing plate, and that was a first, but I've never pulled a true parallel 1/1 in a set, ever before. So here she is:
Not the best box dollar-for-dollar, but easily my favorite Contenders break so far. It ensures I'm going back for more. Great fun!
