20-Box Break ('old school' ITG/BAP)

Wow! Love those older breaks! Great hits!

Wow, that pair of Lemieux autos is awesome! I never realized that Parkie retro was that limited. 600 cases isn't that much.

Okay, so we're officially past the halfway mark on this 21 box break.

Sunday evening allowed me to break two more boxes after the family was in bed.

From the looks of these two boxes, I should have went to sleep, too. Oh well, they can't all be Lemieux AUTO's! :)

----------------------------------------
Box 10 of 21

SUNDIN franchise - doesn't this card come in anything other than a blue watch? Stated print run of 60 and I swear I've seen 30 of them, owned about 6 of them, and they're always BLUE. :(
EMINGER and HUET mini RC's - two in one box, awesome! Makes up for the earlier box in which I didn't get one. I actually need BOTH of these for my set!
BYKOV ###/300 RC, another double. Maybe more bait for my set builder friend. ;-)

----------------------------------------
Box 11 of 21

All three hits out of this box came in the first 5 packs! Which left for a rather melancholy mood for the remaining 19 packs. Everything here was pure duplcautes for me. :(

MODANO memorabilia, ]
LEIGHTON RC ###/300 and
HALL mini RC --- actually i need this for my set

----------------------------------------

**BrownBullhead** · 10-01-2018, 09:32 PM

Here we go... two boxes for MONDAY. I'm going to go through some serious withdrawal soon! :(

Only 8 more remaining... well, unless I crack a SEALED case. Not sure I want to do that at this time.

Was hoping that after 13 boxes I would have pulled the NASH or SPEZZA ###/300 regular size RC. Oh well. :)

----------------------------------------
Box 12 of 21

HULL Nicknames - stated print run of 35. A bit of serendipity and irony and everything all rolled up into one... this was the VERY FIRST memorabilia I ever pulled from a full box of this release back in 2003! Seems like I'm coming full circle! I don't actually own that physical copy anymore, just thought it was a cool story. This is a double for me so it will likely hit eBay. :)

SABOURIN mini rc - needed for my set!
KOBASEW ###/300 RC - another duplicate

----------------------------------------
Box 13 of 21

Meh! :(

SHANAHAN jersey - only good thing about pullling this */90 card is it will be a condition upgrade over my previously purchase from eBay copy. my ebay copy had an undisclosed flaw.
EMERY RC ###/300 and LEIGHTON ###/300 card, both TRIPLES for me. Oh well.
Zero mini RC in this box. No guaranteed odds it seems except the one-per-box memorabilia.

----------------------------------------

**BrownBullhead** · 10-01-2018, 11:16 PM

I'm out of control. I did another 4 boxes (additional to 2 from earlier) for total of 6 boxes today!

Only 4 more remaining (after these ones)... well, unless I crack a SEALED case. Not sure I want to do that at this time.

Going to save the play-by-play here and let the pictures do the talking!

For the "doubles", eventually I'm compare to compare my pack pulls memorabilias to the ones in my existing collection and see what one is better to keep long term, then sell the other copy. :)

----------------------------------------
Box 14 of 21

Was thrilled to pull Kapanen in the final pack, until i saw the upper right corner was destroyed. The pack honestly look like it was dropped prior to making it into the box.

Malec mini knocks another one off my needs list.

----------------------------------------
Box 15 of 21

Miller mini knocks another one off my needs list. Not much else to help me here. :(

----------------------------------------
Box 16 of 21

"Moose" with a great swatch. No complaints about Messier here.

----------------------------------------
Box 17 of 21

Finally! Was hoping for either Spezza or Nash in these 21 boxes. With 4 boxes to go, I nailed Spezza. :) I already have Zetterberg and Miller, so Nash is the last "significant" rc to go in the reg. size set for me.

What an amazing show. Congrats on the 2 mario's

**BrownBullhead** · 10-03-2018, 09:33 PM

All 21 boxes are done.

----------------------------------------
BOX 18 of 21

HALL is a double but I might just keep this one anyway.
SEIDENBERG mini was another duplicate.
No "regular ###/300 rookie" in this box. :( This happens sometime in this product. Oh well!

----------------------------------------
BOX 19 of 21

ROENICK is different enough on the stick swatch so I will make this my 3rd copy on the PC.
BYKOV and ORPIK mini's were from the SAME PACK! need BOTH for my set!
###/300 SMIRNOV ... this guy won't leave me alone!

----------------------------------------
BOX 20 of 21

YZERMAN. This is another one I've never seen a multi colour of. This is a double and will be for sale.
###/300 AULIN is a duplicate.
LEIGHTON mini is another need for my set!

----------------------------------------
BOX 21 of 21

###/300 FAHEY is a duplicate.
SVITOV mini is another need for my set!

And you guys thought I had a horse shoe on boxes 02 and 09?!?!?!?!?

LOOK AT THIS! Possibly the best card from the product! Boom sauce!

I've never been this lucky in all my collecting life! Serial'd #5/5.

MIC DROP. I won Parkhurst Retro! It's over!
