Nine box break (5 Ultimate, 2 SPx, 1 Certified, 1 Titanium)

Nine box break (5 Ultimate, 2 SPx, 1 Certified, 1 Titanium)
Ouch. Lots of nice cards here, for sure, but wow did I get a bite taken out of my wallet and trade bucket today. Not sure I made out all that great considering. Anyway, on with the hits...

I'll start it off with the Certified box...

[Image: 081612Certified.jpg]

Tim Thomas Fabric of the Game #269/399
P.K. Subban Fabric of the Game #120/399
Ben Holmstrom RC Auto
Tim Thomas Certified Champions insert
Joe Colborne Certified Potential Materials Prime #14/25
Roberto Luongo Masked Marvels insert
Ryan Callahan Mirror Blue insert #81/99
Dany Heatley Mirror Red insert #069/199

The Colborne is nice, but overall it was a pretty weak box.

Box #2, how about some Titanium?

Scott Gomez and Mike Green Game Worn Gear
Calvin DeHaan & Travis Hamonic Game Worn Gear Dual #297/300
Drew Stafford & Thomas Vanek Game Worn Gear Dual Prime #20/50
(The Stafford piece is three colors with a puck mark. Not bad.)
Jared Cowen New Wave Autograph


Next up, a pair of boxes of SPx...

First box...

Dustin Byfuglien & Evander Kane Winning Combos
Colton Teubert Jersey RC #775/799

Second box was a little better. Just a little.

Erik Gudbranson Jersey/Auto/RC 295/799
Pelle Lindbergh Legends of Hockey #298/499
Ryan Ellis Ice RC #0583/1999
Marty Turco Flashback Fabrics Autographed Jersey
Colton Sceviour RC (wow.) #285/499
Erik Gudbranson RC (really?) #214/499
Cody Eakin Rookie Materials
Jimmy Howard Winning Materials (thankfully it's at least 2 colors.)
Tuukka Rask & Tim Thomas Winning Combos

Can't say there's anything blowing it up for me at this point, so I opened five boxes of Ultimate, three from the LCS, two from the news shop, since the LCS was out.

Box 1...

[Image: 11-12UltimateCollectionBox1.jpg]

Steven Stamkos base #106/399
Andy Miele Autographed RC #069/299
Matt Duchene Ultimate Signatures
Mika Zibanejad & Colin Greening Ultimate Rookie Patches #10/35

Nice patches, but there is a little crease along the top edge of the card. Not visible on the surface at all.

Box 2...

Mike Richards base #084/399
Andrew Shaw RC #145/399
John Tavares Ultimate Signatures
Teemu Hartikainen Debut Threads patch #079/100

Sick patch, wrong Oiler.

Box 3...

Ryan Kesler & Jarome Iginla Ultimate Duos Jerseys

Box 4...

Jarome Iginla base #084/399
Robert Bortuzzo RC #214/399
Thomas Vanek (third time's the charm, right?) Ultimate Jerseys
And a slick looking card, Ted Lindsay 1997 Legends Autograph

and my final box of the day, and probably the last one I'll open for a while.

Miikka Kiprusoff base #006/399
Cade Fairchild RC #308/399
Matt Frattin Ultimate Signatures
Sean Couturier Ultimate Rookie Patches #39/65

Everything's for trade.
Thanks for looking.

Not sure why Lindsay would be in the 1997 Legends set. I thought you had to have played that year to be in it. Are you sure it is the same set or another one? I may be totally wrong though. Nice breaks.

I would be interested in any / all of the Wings cards if you are looking to trade them.

Thanks,

There are some great hits in there like the Turco and Lindsay, but overall, I have to agree...ouch. Given my own experience and the limited breaks I've seen, I can't see doing Ultimate unless it's a whole case. In other words, I can't see doing Ultimate.

I know you feel the same way: value doesn't come from expected resale necessarily. It's just as satisfying to get some good looking cards that either you want for your PC or that can get you cards you want for your PC. I've never seen anyone have more last pack luck than you so maybe it caught up with you all at once and now the bloodshed is over for the next season.

Thanks for showing off that huge break...believe it or not, it helps scratch the itch a bit from afar. I'm going to save up for a box of OPC. : )
