Canadians Seem To Be Killing It With Young Guns In Blasters

Here where I live, just $1 bums as Young Guns.

It's regional, I tells ya, the best are all being shipped North.

I think they "forgot" to turn the printing machine off over night and they made an extra 5 million YG's of each player...

You do realize that there are some members that only post their good boxes or best hits. Right or wrong, it is a fact.

Agreed, I bought 2 of these blasters and there was nothing good to report.

I come to this section to look at breaks....I see no break, just a strange, meritless complaint...

[centrehice]

Who's complaining? I just observed something being regional as reported by many, as as reported in the past. Put your shirt back on.

I've heard similar observations in the past, most recently about the latest National Treasures basketball release where there were complaints that the big hits were all being sent to Hong Kong. Same with California and a basketball product a couple of years back.

There could be something to it, we really have no knowledge of the companies and their distribution strategies.

I have to say that I am located in Canada and have pulled AT LEAST a Monahan or Tarasenko YG in every blaster or tin I've opened. All told, I've opened about 10 tins and 8 blasters and 4 fat packs.

I've pulled the following from them:

2 Mackinnons
1 Yakupov
1 Galchenyuk
2 Hertl's
5 Monahans
6 Tarasenkos
2 Canvas Mackinnons
1 Canvas Yakupov
1 Canvas Barkov
1 Canvas Dougie Hamilton
2 HOckey Heroes Headers
1 Shining stars gold rainbow

Basically, I'm averaging more than 1 really solid hit per break.

That being said, I think it has more to do with Over Production than with regional distribution. The re-sale value of this stuff is reflecting that for sure.

Perception is reality here, I think.

I've done well in boxes, only done one Blaster - pulled decent names (Dumba) but nothing great. Mackinnon in a box though.

These things (YGs) are produced at a pretty high rate. I think it's probably a case of more Canadians breaking them than Americans, and people more inclined to show their good breaks rather than their weak ones. So many of these cards that there isn't really much of a reason to regionally slant the bigger ones.
