Beckett Message Boards - 2019-20 Sp Authentic

I usually have decent luck with SP Authentic, but this box had me on the ropes.

Those were in my first 5 packs.

These were my next 8 packs.

Getting a little disappointed at this point that the box is a dud.

Boom! Nice end to a horrid box! Congrats on the huge pull. Hopefully Jack will catch up to Quinn. Tongue

Jack needs the same talent around him that Quinn has.

Now, clearly I'm biased because I just pulled the Jack Hughes Young Gun and want it to be a good card (LOL), but the thing to remember is that he is 19 years old.

I mean, he can't even legally buy a beer for two more years ... think about that.

I just saw a story about him where he's been lifting weights all offseason to bulk up to be able to battle for the puck better.

Can't be a bad thing, right?

Granted, some guys come into the league and light it up from Day One (Crosby, McDavid, etc.), but we're talking a miniscule percentage.

Most guys take a couple of years to fully realize their path to stardom, and I can't imagine the pressure on a teenage kid to be the face of a pro sports franchise.

I think this guy will be fine!

I have no question about his talent. I am more worried about the Devils as an organization being able to put a solid team around him for him to be as successful as his brother will be with the Canucks.

Indeed.

Sweet ending

I always like it when I pull a huge hit in the first few packs, because then the rest of the box just feels like a bonus.

But glad it worked out!
