Another mixed box of packs

Yeah - so I couldn't help myself and picked up a second box of assorted packs from Wal-mart. I haven't seen them often, so I feel the need to pick it up when I saw it....


So, similar to last time, we will take a look at the couple memorabilia cards that come in the box, and a look at the packs that are new to my collection and I will be keeping. I am curious to see if there are just a few new packs given I picked up the other box, but we shall see.

First, the couple memorabilia cards, and I will say this, at least it is fair to say that the box is fairly advertising the product...

Well, that goes a fair bit for making the box worthwhile right off the bat...

A fine card as well, but only kept for being a jersey card, unlike the Belfore which is a great collection add. That said, the Poti card is from the same set as the Sergei card from the last box...well, one of the two Sergei cards I picked up.

Now on to the packs....well...out of 16 packs, a couple observations. One, only two new packs for the collection - so not sure if I will bother with the box again (or will do it with the purpose of having material for here - which is an awesome excuse). Two, I found there were more circumstances of multiple packs of the same product - there were 5 duplicates to that regard where I think there was one or two in the first box I got. Actually, a bonus third observation - from a quick feel of the packs I will be opening here later, I think there will be a couple nice surprises or dummy cards for show which is exciting (at least until I pull dummy cards).


Hey - good value since it was apparently $4 - maybe when it was brand new. That said, it adds to my string of Ultra year packs.


I have a couple StarQuest cards, but this is the first pack I have had in hand, with poster boy, Patrick Roy.

So - a little short compared to the last box since there isn't nearly as much to show yet, but you will see the rest in the weeks to come!
