1 box 13-14 BD (on sale) and 7 packs 13-14 SP authentic - 1:111 cases!
Oldest son had a soccer practice. I owed my youngest a break of some packs as the reverse had occurred a few days ago with some contenders packs (hit 4 autos from the last few packs of a hot box and then 3 autos including a howden patch /100 from a newly cracked single packs box).
I had been wary of cracking SP authentic as I didn't fancy the odds on loose packs (3 autos in 20 packs vs. 3-8 plus multi autos in 18 packs of contenders). Had already hit the biggies out of the Contenders boxes packs, so Sp authentic it was! Was hoping to hit a nice FW auto.
Of course BD happened to be on sale at 50% off ($50)! Figured I had a chance at a /99 Ice premiere so it was a decent gamble. Was expecting to strike out on the SP Authentic @ $56 and fair better on the BD @ $56.
We opened the BD first:
Doubles and Triples aren't worth mentioning IMO (have tons from earlier in the year if anyone needs any).
Dual Jersey Peter Forsberg
Dual Jersey Jaroslav Halak
Quad Vet Patrick Kane
Quad Vet Ruby /50 Dale Hawerchuk
Quad Rookie Gem Valeri Nichushkin
Quad Rookie Gem Mikael Granlund
Gemography Ray Emery
Wasn't thrilled with the box. Had high hopes in the bonus pack. Opened it, saw the Canadians logo and passed it to my son hoping it was the Gallagher /99. He leafs through and......Nathan Beaulieau /499. Too bad.
What do you guys think about BD @ $50. Is there value there?
On to the Sp authentic.
First pack was a monster.
The rest yielded:
Premier Prospects Cory Conacher and Elias Lindholm (1:15 so beat the odds big time here)
Authentic Moments # 157, 180, 193
Dustin Brown 93-24
First pack had this bad boy in it:
From the cases I saw broken I knew it was lucky to hit a multi-player auto in a case as it's not really guaranteed. Also thought it was nice to hit a card of 2 good young players and a bonus that it's a Team Canada card.
Got home and checked the 'specs' on the card:
2012-13 SP Authentic Update - Team Canada Moments Multi-Player Auto Parallel Set Checklist
1:26,780 packs
I've had some great hits this year, but this takes the cake from an odds standpoint. That's 1 in 111 (and a half) cases!!!!!!!
Or for a laugh, 1 in $154,283.43 worth of cases (buying single packs it'd be more!)
It is FT/FS. I'll consider any and all multi player autos in this set or Mackinnon.
Comments welcome/appreciated. Good luck in your breaks!

I agree, great price for black diamond, just an unfortunate box really. I think it would be worth it to get more at that price. Nice dual auto!

I agree, $50 a box black diamond is almost a can't miss (even with a weak box like that). Awesome hit on the Hodgson/Duchene as well. Should be able to trade for a nice PC card or sell for some decent $$. Congrats!!
