Thanks for the great break tonight guys. Here are the best hits of the break!

Packages should go out monday or tuesday. Look for a new break to be posted the first week or so of September, scheduled to be on the last weekend of September!

I was pretty concerned about how I was going to feel after it was all said and done. Did I get my moneys worth? Yes, yes I feel I did and more, can't wait to get them in the mail! I wasn't sure what team to pick as my second choice but the Devils came through.

Thanks for putting it together on the cheap side for the noobs. I'll definitely be in for more expensive breaks, and your next one for sure. I've become obsessed with all things hockey and with the season not too far off I'm getting hyped.

You got picks 1 and 3, ended up with Pittsburgh, Colorado, Arizona and uh uh uh.... Carolina? Not sure on that last one. I know that you got a ton of not-MacKinnon Colorado rookies, a David Rundblad auto. I get the feeling there was something else too, but I can not think of it off the top of my head. When I sort stuff I will have a list for you.


Oh year, just remembered, a Tyson Barrie crown royale auto.

Ogion went on a halfmile or so, and said at last, 'To hear, one must be silent'.

Are they doing that for every base card in the set?

I'm pretty new to the game here but that seems like overkill, and covering up a lack of ideas.

Yup, every card, but at least the /5 base parallels do not count for their case numbers. (Explanation: Every case of Totally Certified is guaranteed to have at least 1 card numbered to 5 or less. Base/rookie parallels do not count for this, so the /5 card will always be a mem or auto). In our 2 cases, we got a Boone Jenner auto /5 and a Mikhail Grigerenko patch /5. Quantrill got them both :argh: . So yeah, it is fluff, but it is kinda bonus fluff, all they really replaced with them is some other parallel. It makes it fun for collectors to get all the variations.


Also, of note, Totally Certified (and Certified for that matter) has parallels as it's hallmark. Most sets have 2, maybe 3 parallels (/100, /10, /1). No set is as parallel heavy as TC where the only difference is color. I think the closest Upper Deck product that does that is Artifacts or Black Diamond, but still not to that extent.

I'd /love/ to put a box of NT in a break. Unfortunately, even if I could get my hands on a box (I can't), I don't think the $500 price tag would sit well with most.


In other news, I got in one (and probably only I can afford) NT break yesterday! :toot: It was a team random :ohdear: but the Coyotes and Sens were dropped! I got.... Columbus :smithicide: Go go $68 Sean Collins printing plate? :suicide:

I got my cards today! I didn't have a home run in there, but I got a very solid selection. It is my only regret that Rundblad got traded to Chicago.

In news only I will care about, Rob Schremp has a stick card in this year's (well, last year's) KHL set. Pretty big piece, numbered out of 50, that's the only card in the set. Someone from Latvia has had one up for $39.99 starting on ebay, I'm hoping that it'll get broken enough that another more reasonable one shows up.

4-6

The guy was actually pretty easy to deal with, but I probably overpaid a little, he did throw in expedited shipping, which from Canada probably cost him like $20-25

idk but it did not work out well.... Galchenyuk FWA, Random Leafs Select rookie gold /10 and Silhouette prime of Jamie Devane . I'm not sure that CBJ or MIN hit at all.

In other news, expect a new break to go up Tuesday, after my supplier ends their Labor Day promotional pricing. We like Prime, right?
