So having missed out on hitting up a LCS on Black Friday I ordered some boxes directly from Panini. Sadly, they were cheaper than my LCS... I ended up getting a box each of Crown, Certified, and Rookies & Stars (because that got me the most BF packs). Strangely, the boxes and the packs shipped separately, with the packs arriving a couple of weeks after the boxes. Anyway, I finally got the packs (18 total) yesterday and ripped through them in nervous anticipation. Here are the results:
First off, the collation was horrible. For base cards, this is what I got:
#2 Tom Brady x4
#3 Adrian Peterson x2
#8 Steven Stamkos
#9 Alex Ovechkin x3
#10 Sidney Crosby x2
#14 Josh Hamilton x2
#15 Albert Pujols x2
#16 Mariano Rivera x4
#17 Adrian Gonzalez
#18 Matt Kemp
#RC1 Ryan Nugent-Hopkins x2
#RC6 Cam Newton
#RC7 Mark Ingram
#RC8 Julio Jones x3
#RC10 A.J. Green x2
Here are the hits:
Anyone know anything about hockey? These are hard to see but the Oilers guy is Andrew Cogliano Panini Domination patch 22/25 and the Maple Leafs player is Darryl Sittler Domination Nameplate 05/22.
Then I got this:
Serially numbered 06/10 and stamped with "Black Box Authentic"
And for those who are curious, the R&S box was pretty bad. The Certified box scored me a Ryan Mallett RC, and the Crown had this gem:
062/199
All in all, I'm pretty happy with the results. It was a lot of fun busting those packs! Thanks for looking!
