1 box SP Retail: far better than expected!

[odjickfan]

Hello,
I looked at breaks of SP on the forums and was interested by it. So, I picked a box. I don't remember many times I pulled the top card I wanted from a product in a box. But this time, it happened! My first 2018-19 wax purchase.

Kotkaniemi true RC in the first few packs. I was so happy, my break would have ended there and it would have been great. But, I got a few more surprises! A couple of packs later, bang, Carey Price jsy!! I was in shock!! I also got a Kotkaniemi and a Juulsen blue RCs. Not pictured, a Domi blue base and a Lafleur base card. It was a dream box for an Habs fan.

I also got this pile of blue parallels that are available for trade. Some decent names among them:
Authentic Profiles Blue Parallel: #AP-CM Connor McDavid (EDM) - #AP-SC Sidney Crosby (PIT)
Base Blue Parallel: #30 Anthony Mantha (DET) - #77 Blake Wheeler (WIN) - #79 Jeff Carter (LA) - #83 James Van Riemsdyk (PHI) - #95 Dominik Hasek (BUF)
Rookie Authentics Blue Parallel: #111 Michael Dal Colle RC (NYI) - #119 Dominik Kahun RC (CHI) - #128 Drake Batherson RC (OTT) - #132 Travis Dermott RC (TOR)

Thank you guys for looking, have a nice summer!

Yeah tough to envision that going any better (maybe a KK auto? LOL) than it did. Well done. I've seen some all right stuff in there, and this is actually the first product UD's put out that has Domi Habs jersey material in it. His other mem cards from 18-19 have all been old Arizona stuff.

Very nice, perfect for a Habs fan. That Price is sweet!

I'm interested to know if you purchased the box in the Montreal area. Heard rumors for years that Upper Deck stacks the retail stuff with the local players and moreover puts the big hits in Canadian retail products as opposed to the US. But then again us Americans like to blame all bad luck on a rigged system

Either way congrats on the hits!

RGM81: I'm happier with the true RC than I would have been with the auto, I'm not a big fan of stickers. UD is slow to make stuff of players with their new teams.Memorabilia and autos of Weber in Montreal colors are still scarce too.

creasecollector: thank you!

Card Shuffler: the box was purchased in Rimouski, in the province of Quebec. about 5-6 hours of road away from Mtl. Thank you :)
