Two boxes 12/13 Upper Deck, a 10/11 Pinnacle and 10/11 Zenith
In my continued thirst for cheap boxes (although probably better off buying one expensive box for every 5-6 cheap ones), I cracked a few more from Steel City a couple of weeks ago:
12/13 Upper Deck Box 1
YG: Bollig, Sheahan, Cornet, Ness, Cizikas, Brown
Exclusives /100 Phaneuf
Canvas: Getzlaf, Carter, Karlsson, Schneider
Heroes: Perreault, Orr
Jerseys: Erik Johnson, Hiller
MVP: Kiprusoff, Tavares, Neal, Evander Kane
Silver Skates: Eberle, Kreider (SP)
And a case hit, Signature Sensations Guillaume Latendresse - sigh, remember when he was hobby hot for a couple of months?
If I'm gonna get a case hit in a box, please let it be anything BUT a Signature Sensations. They aren't even hard-signed!
Next box was better. Box 2
YG: Clark, Welsh, Connolly, Nolan, Kreider, Rynnas
Exclusives /100 Kruger
Canvas: Hodgson, Hartnell, Burrows and YG Kreider (!)
Heroes: Esposito and the hard-to-pull ART card (!)
Jersey: Stepan, Suter
MVP: RNH, Hall, Schenn, Yandle
Silver Skates: Vanek and Crosby (SP) - also a nice hit
So, a better case hit in Box 2, love those Art cards!
10/11 Pinnacle was another >meh< kind of box, not bad but...:
RC: Lindback, Kadri, Burmistrov, Johansson, FOIL Braun
Foil parallel: Michalek, Backstrom (Wild), Gagner
Artist Proof: Hagman
Chemistry on Canvas: Selanne/Koivu
City Lights Materials /499: Bryzgalov, Neal
Saving Face: Ward
Threads /499: Clutterbuck
Tough Times: Williams
Tough Times Auto: Bob Kelly
Would have liked another auto, but Kelly is not a bad one to get. Hard-signed!
Finally, one of my favorite boxes to break, 10/11 Zenith!
RC non-auto: Rakhshani /999
RC Auto: Zuccarello /999
RC DTT parallel: Marcus Johansson /199 (ripped a big Ovechkin to get it - Sorry, Ovie!)
Red Hot: Tavares
Crease is the Word: Price
Gifted Grinders: Weber
Mozaics: Washington (no jersey)
Rookie Roll Call: Couture
Team Jersey: Voracek (Blue Jackets)
Winter Warriors Jersey: Boulton
Nothing big there, but at least I needed the MoJo and Voracek.
Great fun and lots of pack ripping for a little over $110 USD!! Thanks for looking!

Two Silver Skates SPs in two boxes is pretty good as well. The signature sensations from Upper Deck never seem to be that sensational!

They should just call them "Signatures" and be honest about it! The only other one I ever pulled was even worse - Kulda! At least the Latendresse might someday sell.
You're right, the SP Silver Skates were good; I had previously opened maybe 12-13 boxes (from different cases) and only hit an Orr and a Gold Subban.

It wouldn't be great for marketing if Upper Deck correctly called them all "Excess" instead of "Sensational"The want list at this link features what I need of Gretzky, Roy, Ottawa Senators, and Miscellaneous sets. I also have a CFL want list on my page and if you have nothing from it I will consider other traders of current Ottawa Senators,Guy Lafleur, + trade bait.
