First Box in 4 Years, I think I Kot the addiction again (18-19 SPA)

[oilfan10]

Hey everyone,

I haven't bought a box of cards since 2016, and since being back in Edmonton, I've been meaning to scratch the itch for the past year. I finally scratched it today, but I got a lot more than I expected. Decided on 18-19 SP Authentic, despite learning that they dropped it to 2 autographs.

Inserts:



Rookie Milestones: Mark Messier, Henrik Lundqvist, Mike Modano



Authentic Moments: Not-yet-drunk Ovy, Andrei Svechnikov, Connor McDavid


UD Update: Jake Muzzin, Tanner Pearson, Connor McDavid


SPA Red foil: Pierre-Luc Dubois, Bo Horvat, Artemi Panarin


Spectrum: Max Domi, Isac Lundestrom FW



Jake Bean Young Gun

Autographs



Dennis Cholowski Future Watch


and then I saw a thick card in the middle column of packs...



Jesperi Kotkaniemi Future Watch Black Gold Ink Auto Patch! Adidas patch

My biggest hit in YEARS(even before my break) needless to say. So I guess I might be back after all. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with the Kotkaniemi yet, but I'm going to hold it for now depending on what I can get offered for it.

Thanks for looking!

Welcome back, glad you scratched that itch! That's a pretty nice pull for your first box in a while.

Welcome back!

And killer hit on the JK.

That KK is AMAZING!!!! WOW!!! Congrats on that monster hit. If my recollection is right, the Black FWAP are extremely limited, perhaps even more than the Base Black cards. I don't want to say 1/1 to raise your hopes but I think at most it's /5.

Awesome

Thanks everyone! It has been fun getting back into the research of cards recently. It would be nice if I can get back into some trading.

I decided to open another box of 18-19, and tried 19-20 SPA as well.

18-19
YG: Jayce Hawryluk
Spectrum: Patrick Kane
Spectrum Rc: Maxim Lajoie
FW Auto: Henri Jokiharju

And another patch! Dylan Sikura 3 Color

So it was a "Blackhawks" box with no one amazing


19-20
YG: Yakov Trenin

Autographs: Carl Grundstrom Rookie SOTT, Jake Debrusk SOTT
FW Auto: Guillame Brisebois (Wrong Canucks Dman!)

and probably the best hit of the box:
Rasmus Asplund Die-cut Acetate YG

Nothing earth shattering this time, but I still consider it a solid break. Got another patch from 18-19 even though the player isn't the best, and broke the odds on the 19-20 plus got a die-cut acetate YG. Gonna take a spending break on opening for about a month now. Baby steps. Everything is available(again, except for the KK at the moment). Scans below:

Nice stuff to be hitting to get the addiction again. Hopefully, you can get some trading going as it gets harder to me. Of course I work too much to really have much time to trade so it easier to take it to the shows and move it.

Thans for sharing a.few sick hits.
