My question to you have you had any big hits like some of the folks that post from retail? Just wondering.

Don

I have pulled some good stuff. No patches, mostly autographs, inserts, SP Rookies and a few Jerseys. Value-wise it may not measure up, but coming out of a mix box where most packs have probably been searched, I can't complain.

Among the hits from the packs are:
Andrei Kostytsin Fresh Ink Auto (07-08 Ultra)
Yan Stastny Fresh Ink Auto (07-08 Ultra)
Wojtek Wolski / Ryan Smith Rookie Insprirations Dual Auto (05-06 Rookie Update)
Chuck Kobasew Signatures Auto (05-06 Parkhurst)
Nick Foligno Gold RC 6/10 (07/08 Black Diamond)
Sergei Gonchar Winter Classic (08/09 OPC)
Evgeni Malkin Winter Classic (08/09 OPC)

Jerseys
Simon Gagne / Brian Gionta One on One (07/08 MVP)
Brodeur / Parise / Elias / Gionta Two on Two (08/09 MVP)
Joe Niewendyk Souveniers (02/03 MVP) {I see a Devils theme here!}
Zdeno Chara Hot Materials (07/08 Hot Prospects)
Zdeno Chara Authentic Fabrics (06/07 SP Game Used)
Jamie Lundmark Showcase Stitches x2 (06/07 Flair Showcase)
Drew Miller Hot Materials (07/08 Hot Prospects)
06/07 Ultra Uniformity (Ladislav Nagy)
08/09 Ultra Uniformity (Alex Edler)
07/08 Ultra Uniformity (Auld x2, Bergeron x2, Pronger, Naslund, Cloutier, Sundin)

NOTE: These have all come from the mixed "re-pack" boxes. None of these came from blasters. My luck with blasters has been atrocious. My only true "big hit" was a Lemieux autograph from the Mario Lemieux reprint series put out by Topps in the early 2000's. That came out of a Kmart pack.

Again, the value may not be there, but there is something about opeing packs and finding jerseys and autos (escpecially after the packs have been "examined" by someone else).
