Haven't been on lately, was in the process of moving, so now that I'm finally starting to get settled I had some time to break some boxes today, and did a few on National Hockey Card day last month. Heres the damage. Most is for trade for flames stuff, rookies, or I'm thinking of starting up a 08/09 trilogy scripted swatches collection and 08/09 SPGU Significant Numbers collection. Let me know how I did!

Todays breaks:

1 Box of 07/08 Artifacts

Autofacts Nikolai Zherdev
Jonas Nordqvist Rookie /999
Tom Gilbert Rookie /999
Bobby Orr Legends /1499
Sidney Crosby Stars /1499
Rookie Redemption #217 (Sam Gagner)
Forzen Artifacts Joe Sakic /100 (Purple)
Tundra Trios Jersey Sundin/Tucker/McCabe /75 (Blue/Blue/White)
Frozen Artifacts Patch Brendan Morrison /25 (3 Color)

Overall pretty pleased with a patch coming out, even if it is Morrison. Gagner is alright as well (other than he plays for the coilers). This was my first box of 07/08 artifacts, and I thought I did pretty well.

1 Box of 07/08 BAP

Rookie Jake Dowell /99 (I am haunted by the less significant hawks rookies of 07/08)
Rookie Redemption #335 (Brian Boyle?)
Dom Hasek Auto
James Sheppard Auto
Tyler Kennedy Auto
Mike Lundin Auto
Alex Tanguay Auto
Darcy Tucker Auto /15
Rick Nash/David Vyborny Dual Auto
Martin Hanzel Auto

Overall not bad, my second box of this. Hasek, Nash, and Hanzel is nothing to complain about.

1 box of 07/08 Hot Prospects

Hot Commodities /999 - Brodeur, Semin, Havlat
Hot Commodities /100 - MA Fleury (29/100, his Jersey #)
Prized Prospects /999 - Petteri Wirtanen, Ryan Carter
Hot Materials Jerseys - Seabrook (black), LeClaire (blue)
Hot Prospects Jersey Swatch #/100 - Shane Doan (white)
Prized Prospects Auto/Patch /399 - Jared Boll (sick patch, part of the "J", the whole "A", and part of the "C" in Blue Jackets, 3 color)
Hot Prospects Patch 1/10 Eric Staal (4 color)

My first box, and very, very please with 2 great patches coming out, especially the staal /10. The Boll patch is awesome too. Going to get another box soon and try to finish the base set!

Other breaks from the last month - High end stuff

4 Packs of 07/08 ITG Ultimate Memorabilia

Didn't hit anything amazing, just trying this stuff out. Probably won't be buying anymore, but I may try to put together the base set, who knows.

Base Cards /90 - Tretiak, Kharlamov, Morenz
Base Card /9 - Sundin
Gloves are Off Mario Lemieux /24 (Black)
Retro Teammates Mosienko/Lumley /24 (Red and Black/Black)
Country Wide Jari Kurri /24 (White)
Blades of Steel Marcel Dionne /24 (Nice piece, part of the CCM logo)
Ultimate Autograph Glenn Hall /10
Ultimate Jersey/Auto Stan Mikita /30 (white swatch)
Dual Auto Hasek/Osgood /24
Future Star Auto/Patch Steve Downie /19 (3 color, Canada Jersey Patch)

Meh...

07/08 The Cup - My one and only box, broke it on Hockey Card Day in Canada

Johnny Bucyk Base
Paul Statsny Base
Neal Broton Stanley Cup Signatures 1/25
Brett Sterling Rookie Patch/Auto /249 (Sick 5 color patch)
Ray Bourque Scripted Swatches Patch/Auto 4/25 (Yellow and Black Patch)
Matt Niskanen Magenta Printing Plate Auto

Overall not too too bad. I've seen worse. A 5 color rookie patch is nice, even if it is of a guy who of 5'7". Maybe his mom will buy it. Bourque is always welcome in my PC, I'm pretty into HOF defensemen. The printing plate was my first 1/1 (if you can even consider it that). Could have been better, could have been worse.

Some other nice pulls I had this month...

07/08 Ultimate Collection Premium Patches Nick Lidstrom 4/25 (2 color, part of the "R" and the "O" in his name plate
07/08 SPx Carey Price SPxtreme 500/999
07/08 SPx Winning Combos Spectrum Patrick Roy/Martin Brodeur /99
06/07 Series 2 Evgeni Malkin YG
05/06 Series 2 Jeff Carter, Thomas Vanek YG's
08/09 Fleer Ultra Steve Mason RC Ice Medallion /100
08/09 Artifacts Auto Facts Steve Mason
08/09 OPC Triple Materials Crosby/Malkin/Fleury

And some others I'm sure I am forgetting. Scans maybe in a week or two. Scanner is in a box somewhere. Thanks for checking out all my breaks! If your looking to trade or buy anything PM me!

Cheers,
Kyle

Based on odds, you did great on the Hot Prospects and BAP. I broke three boxes of BAP and didn't see one rookie /99. Though I did see a seven-star signature :)

Some very nice breaks. I'm interested in the 07/08 Artifacts Triple Jersey Sundin/McCabe/Tucker /75 and the Sundin ITG Gold Base /9 (I already have 1 but would LOVE a 2nd).

Thanks.
