Snopek Gold, such are the breaks when you play with product like this. That's the "hit" of the box.

Turns out the Gold was not the "hit", beating the odds and landing a Silver Refractor. Too bad both of the top pulls are scrubs. Can't win 'em all. Did pretty well with the Sheffield and Belle Bronze Refractors and while I can live with doubling up on Maddux Silvers the Bichette double up was tough. Pretty good spread on the base Bronze though. All FT.
Love the Puckett. If you still have it when I get my org reloaded I'd like to take a shot at it.

Lots of nice names in there, too bad your hits weren't a little bit better, but it's fun to get into the older stuff sometimes.
