CASE BREAK - 2012 Upper Deck All-Time Greats Sports Edition

[itwasin2004]

Had nothing better to do on a Tuesday afternoon, so popped by my LCS to see if he had any ITG History of Hockey left. He had just sold the last of his stock, but I hung around for a bit anyway...

I asked if he had any of the All-Time Greats stuff, and he said he had a sealed 3-tin case, but was looking to sell as a case, not individual tins. So I said, why not...

Tin 1:
Joe Sakic base /99
Larry Bird base /99
Jerry Rice Silver parallel /35
Joe Sakic Personal Touch Signatures 4/5

Very nice looking cards. Thought it quite interesting that my top base card was the same player as the auto in the tin... (hint, hint)

Tin 2:
Bobby Orr Blue parallel /10
Hulk Hogan Copper parallel /65
Wayne Gretzky base /99
Bobby Orr Athletes of the Century patch/auto booklet 18/35

Wow. Sweet looking Orr auto. First one I have ever pulled as well...

Tin 3:
Bobby Orr base /99 (hmm, interesting. wonder if the trend will continue...)
Mario Lemiuex Copper parallel /65
Kelly Slater Silver parallel /35
Bobby Orr Shining Moments Signatures 10/30

Double Wow! This was a hockey collector's case for sure! 5 of the 9 base cards were Hockey players, and all 3 autos!

Random thoughts...
- The photos on the cards are ones I don't recall having seen before on trading cards. Very unique.
- The parallels also have different photos from the base.
- all hockey cards I pulled used Team Canada photos/references

Oh, and how about some photos...

Cheaper than a tin of The Cup... It's all about the stars in this one though, not the rookies...

Any chance the Kelly Slater is available for trade?

You did really well. The only thing that I don't like about products like these is that they make tons of high-end players and lower the value, especially in Orr's case as it seems like he has double everyone's else.

Also the top base 99% of the time matches the auto. I think I've only seen one that wasn't like that (Michael Jordan Base and a Pete Rose auto or something).

Nonetheless, great looking product, great pulls! Congrats!
