Helpful tip I got from the guy at the counter was to sign up online for a small business account to save 5% on all shipping. Will have to check that out, though I don't think of myself as a small business....or has my trading become too much...
So, great to get a Portrait insert like this one...

But just putting the card all black and white doesn't necessarily make it a great portrait. Sure, a bit of feeling in the look and all, but the rest of the cards in the pack (all keepers), provide a couple more cards that would have been more suitable in my mind.

There are two cards here that I would absolutely use before McDonagh. First Subban. The backstory to the photo is probably what drives it more here with his return to Montreal for the first time as a Predator. Maybe bring the zoom in a bit so it is more face, but either way, a great moment captured in a portrait.
Second, Lehtonen. Can we just get an entire goalie set, greatest masks of all time, exactly in that pose. Portrait would be great too, but a set of close ups just like that for the masks (with a side view on the back maybe)...excellent.
A very solid pack, let's hope this continues.
4 Packs, 32 Cards, 93 Points.
