What happened?

I was out all day, and saw none of it opened.
For example, Darkwolf didn't get a single real Phoenix hit. At all. He got two pararells and that's it.

Bought a box of Upper Deck Series 2 11-12 yesterday and got some stuff, most notably a Krüger rookie patch but also some other such as a black and colorless Carter patch(so a regular Carter then) and an Antti Niemi numbered sticker auto.

Nice, that Niemi auto is a case hit, so a pretty good box of S2. If you got the patch too (1-2 case) that is a great box :toot:

Who did you get for the Canvases? If you got any retired players, those can be quite valuable too.
At least two patches(Krüger and Carter and maybe one or two more) + the Niemi, yeah. On top of that I got a couple of Canvas, including Crosby, and two retired players(will check when I've finished this bloodbowl game).

But yeah, I'm pretty happy with the box.

Alright, I got in my Upper Deck Series 2 box:

Leland Irving, Young Guns
Marcus Krüger, Rookie Materials patch(plain red)
Stan Mikita, Hockey Heroes
Jeff Carter, Game Jersey patch(plain white with some stitching at the very edge of it)
Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, MVP Rookie Auto
Tomas Fleischmann, MVP Auto
Mattias Tedenby, UD Canvas
Carl Hagelin, Young Guns
Brad Park, Hockey Heroes
Sidney Crosby, UD Canvas
Simon Despres, Young Guns UD Canvas
Antti Niemi, Sticker Auto 67/99
Colton Orr, UD Canvas
Alexander Burmistrov, UD Canvas

So yeah the retired players weren't canvassed as I thought but meh I'm pretty happy with this loot even though it was "only" one numbered hit.

Oh and Rutkowski, that Fasth goaltender you have a :awesome: for will have rookie cards next year as he signed his first NHL contract and will no doubt be suiting up for a few games.
Thing is, I hate the team he used to play for and I hate that he almost single-handedly knocked my team out of the playoffs last year.

I do appreciate his skill though.

Gonna be a while before I can partake in another break, our economy is gonna be tight this semester and not only am I going to be forced to sell off some non-Yote cards(because I'm not getting rid of these Yotes) but we're gonna have live-ins for a while.

The good news is that they're finns and I've already asked; they love hockey. ^^

Gonna post it here too since this is more of a hockey collection thread in general(and it's where Darkwolf posted his tabletopchat):

Me and my wife's bonus dad bought my son a table hockey game today as an early birthday gift. We've been playing it all day and it went over really well but there's a few issues:

1. The teams are Sweden vs. Finland.
Fix: Bought NewJets and Coyote teams online.

2. The numbers are really bad. Seriously, look at this:
Granlund(64)-S.Koivu(9)-Lehtinen(26)
Lydman(5)-Rautakallio(4)
Niemi(31)

Nylander(92)-Forsberg(21)-Sundin(13)
Lidström(5)-Öhlund(2)
Salo(30)

I mean Sweden have three legendary players, one goaltender that helped bring in the first Olympic gold to Sweden but Nylander and Öhlund? Not to mention, three centers?
Fix: New teams won't have this issue because their players aren't numbered.

3. New teams won't be numbered which makes it rather bland.
Fix: I have a friend who is into Warhammer Fantasy who have voluenteered to add some numbers to the players.

4. I have a hard time deciding on what numbers to use.
Fix: You guys can help me out!

These are my ideas so far:

Phoenix Coyotes:
Tkachuk(7)-Roenick(97)-Doan(19)
Yandle(3)-Numminen(27)
Burke(1)
My own consideration of their overall best players in those positions. Goaltender was the hardest, thinking of going with Smith and 41 because how far they went with him backstopping them but Burke have been a beast as a coach on top of posting good numbers as a goaltender on a mediocre to bad team.

Winnipeg Jets:
Kane(9)-Little(18)-Wheeler(26)
Enström(39)-Byfuglien(33)
Pavelec(31)
That's right, I'm gonna ignore their captain because he play at the same position as Kane and anyone who think Ladd is a better player than Kane can go gently caress themselves.

For a Jets troll team I could use these instead:

Kovalchuk(17)-Snyder(37)-Heatley(15)
Chelios(24)-Schneider(18)
Lehtonen(32)

Im doubting your commitment to sparklemotion Rutko. Why have you not been in a sweet break with us for awhile? you can have the coytoes first overall.
Lack of dollars. I know it's been a year since the last break but to join one and to add the shipping on top of that is rather expensive from here, especially since I've only gotten something good once and that was in the first break(darkwolf has been awesome in adding stuff though!).

Maybe later, I just don't want to pay 70 bucks for base stuff and a /799 sticker auto.

Hey now, it is not $70. It is more like $50. Don't worry about shipping, since the postage rate increase it is as expensive to ship to Canada as Sweden.


In unrelated news, I am going to DragonCon this year. John DeLancie is going to be there. What I am telling you is if the line isn't around the block (and probably if it is anyways) you will have a Discord auto coming your way ;)
That'd be awesome.

And I'm in no way blaming the shipping costs on you, I blame God who had the stupid idea to put a huge loving ocean between Ireland and Newfoundland. >=(

EDIT: Oh yeah, another thing that keeps stealing my money is my son. He turned four recently and have a growing interest in LEGO and starships and space and I want to encourage both so yeah, ordered this baby earlier today.
