New to Box Breaks! (1st Box Results!!)
What's up Guys!
So, real quick, over the last couple weeks I've really taken the time to go through all the cards I have, about 2,000, mostly baseball, and organized them and what not. I found nothing worth more than a couple dollars or so, but it was really cool to see the collection I had put together while I was younger.
I bought my first official hobby box (15/16 Upper Deck Series 1) just the other day from minerasportscards on eBay and plan on opening it up later today when it arrives.
I found an article online regarding all the cards and odds of pulling a nice card from the UD Series 1, but is there anything I should know as a Box Breaking noob? Any special quirks/cliches to avoid, or make sure I do? I'm 20 and a frequent gamer, so I planned on livestreaming the box break on Twitch.tv!
If it's something the forums would like to watch, I can link it later, but any info or tips you guys could give me would be awesome! Thanks!
Also, shoutout to any other Bruins fans here!

RE: New to Box Breaks!
There are many good / great YG's your are looking for out of 15-16 Upper Deck.
#1 Rookie - Connor McDavid
Other good rookies
Dylan Larkin
Max Domi
Artemi Pinanri
Sam Bennett
Watch you canvas cards which can also have YG's in them. The big guy from Series 1 is Jack Eichel.
you should also hit a game used card and a bunch of other inserts.
BTW, good luck on your first box when it arrives. Looking forward to see how you do.

Thank you very much! Yea, I'm a big hockey fan, so I know the rookie's to look for, but I wasn't sure of the special version cards to really hope for. Any sort of notable rookies always good, I'd assume it's not necessarily the same with veterans though? Like if I get an Ovechkin card, for example, it may not be a showstealer, it'll just be your average card?
Either way, getting out of work in an hour. Very excited to get home
EDIT: Really hoping for a YG Jordan Weal. He's one of my favorite players

Not the best box that is for sure but still some decent stuff. If you are looking I am sure someone will have a Weal they will trade you.

Yeah, figured it wasn't too hot. Have a local card shop in town that I completely forgot about so I'm going to see what they got for boxes later today. Maybe get another one, or something smaller.

Not the best box but it's a lot of fun breaking 2015-16 series 1.
If you break another box, I'm pretty sure it will be better.
