one case of Leaf Best Of Hockey and one box of 11-12 Dominion

[Marko]

first the box of Dominion...

very bad in my opinion, all 6 "hits" were rookies, none of them popular
this box is really making me sad




now the case of
Leaf Best Of Hockey

Sketch Cards:





two modern day 8.5 BGS cards




the crosby has really bad corners... I am wondering why it has a 8.5, shouldn't it be 9 ?

8+9.5+8.5+10 = 36
36/4 = 9

the 3rd card made up for the bad luck of the rest:



very nice card

Win some, lose some

I'm very interested in the Lander and the Colborne jersey!

I'm not 100% sure...but I recall hearing you cant get a higher grade then .5 of the lowest.
So your lowest is 8, grade is 8.5. This could be wrong and I recall where but I remember someone at my LCS was saying that.

You can't get higher than 1 point above the lowest subgrade and the overall grade is not a straight average but a weighted one. The Corners subgrade is the second highest weighted, I think. It my be the highest so a low score there can really bring things down.

This is bang on. Can only be a max of 0.5 above the lowest grade.

Looks like a really weak break from both products. I wouldn't be happy with the seguin and Crosby at 8.5s, crack em out and you'd get more return

Get 10-11 Dominion instead, 11-12 Dominion tried to copy Cup and have rookies and rookies and more rookies. Very sad. In the 10-11 version you often got at least one very nice card of a Hall of Famer and it wasn't at all rookie dominated.

Huge congrats on the Flower!

the lafleur saved the Leaf Case

here an example for another PSA 8:

so I don't consider the Leaf Case weak

Did anyone else look at the Mark Messier sketch card and think it was Jean Luc Picard / Patrick Stewart for a bit? lol
