Nine box break (5 Ultimate, 2 SPx, 1 Certified, 1 Titanium) - bruinsfan08 - 08-16-2012 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... 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... Sean Couturier Auto/Jersey RC #476/499 Gustav Nyquist Ice RC #0216/1999 Joe Colborne Finite Rookies #014/499 Colton Sceviour RC #256/499 Keith Kinkaid RC #401/499 Thomas Vanek Winning Materials 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... 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... John Tavares base #065/399 Carl Hagelin RC #013/399 Ryan Kesler & Jarome Iginla Ultimate Duos Jerseys Brendan Smith Autographed RC #290/299 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 Well, there you have it. And I've certainly had it as well. Everything's for trade. Thanks for looking. -Chris RE: Nine box break (5 Ultimate, 2 SPx, 1 Certified, 1 Titanium) - alstott9adams - 08-16-2012 All I can say is wow sick patches nice legends auto and looks like alot of FUN!!! congrats RE: Nine box break (5 Ultimate, 2 SPx, 1 Certified, 1 Titanium) - androsfl - 08-16-2012 Need that Hagelin RC. Check my ORG RE: Nine box break (5 Ultimate, 2 SPx, 1 Certified, 1 Titanium) - swjrp10 - 08-16-2012 As a red wings fan...I'm drooling with jealousy! If you ever feel like moving the lindsay you know where I am RE: Nine box break (5 Ultimate, 2 SPx, 1 Certified, 1 Titanium) - rippinwax - 08-17-2012 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. RE: Nine box break (5 Ultimate, 2 SPx, 1 Certified, 1 Titanium) - rayeates - 08-17-2012 Some wicked cards there Chris! Love seeing breaks like this! Thanks for the great show and congrats on the awesome hits! Randi RE: Nine box break (5 Ultimate, 2 SPx, 1 Certified, 1 Titanium) - madmack29 - 08-17-2012 I would be interested in any / all of the Wings cards if you are looking to trade them. Thanks, Nathan RE: Nine box break (5 Ultimate, 2 SPx, 1 Certified, 1 Titanium) - ricebondsmntna2young - 08-18-2012 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. : ) RE: Nine box break (5 Ultimate, 2 SPx, 1 Certified, 1 Titanium) - bonnev659 - 08-19-2012 sweet Lindsay nice hits but for the price of some the boxes... i think you should get a little more but maybe that is just me |
