Cracked a few boxes...

**allonblack** · 01-17-2013, 08:50 PM

Well, like many people I know, last year sucked badly for me. I figured what better way to kick off what has already been a fantastic new year than with the one thing that I enjoy most (within reason...), breaking boxes! D&A had some nice deals so I picked up some stuff and here are the results...they forgot one of my 10/11 Score R&T boxes as well so we’ll see how that pans out...

10/11 Zenith Blaster

10/11 Zenith Red Hot #46 Jonathan Toews (damaged...)
10/11 Zenith Winter Warriors Prime #WB Wade Belak (blue/yellow) 7/50

Not bad for a blaster, very cool Belak but the banged up Toews sucks...guess I’ll add it to the pile of damaged 10/11 Panini stuff I have...

10/11 Score R&T Box

10/11 Score R&T Gold #560 Taylor Hall, #563 Brayden Schenn, #575 Craig Anderson
10/11 Score R&T HR Gold #599 Alexander Burmistrov, #622 Jan Mursak
10/11 Score Signatures #618 Travis Hamonic
10/11 Score R&T HR #659 Taro Tsujimoto SP

Not bad for a freebie and the Hamonic auto isn’t even damaged! The Taro is pretty sweet and the write up on the back is priceless...also have a bazillion Hot Rookies I won’t list...

And the best card of the break and heading into my PC as the best PC card I’ve pulled (haha, that’s not saying much...)

11/12 Certified Rookie Jsy Au #259 Eddie Lack (green) 235/299

1^st box sucked though the Rundblad looks pretty sharp...kinda surprised to pull two Starting Six cards and the PC Lack in the 2^nd box for sure. I needed the Lack and I had been holding out for a green one so this finally tops my other and only EPIC PC pull of...11/12 Victory Rookie Eddie Lack haha. So there it is...fun break but nothing SUPER awesome, hopefully I can land some PC with something I pulled...everything is for trade (especially for stuff in my rookie goalie wantlist!~see sig) and will be scanned and integrated into my tradelist in a few days....PMs work best and many thanks for the look!
