Creating an Indigo Blaster

First - this doesn't count as spending money on cards...hear me out. A while back, before the world stopped, we ended up with two $10 off Indigo purchases discounts when you spend $X - can't remember what the threshold was.

So we had some stuff to buy anyway, but were $12 short of the amount (maybe it was $50) if we split the order in two to use both coupons. So, why not buy some packs of cards worth to spend the extra $12 and save $20?

I don't know about you, but I'm counting it as free cards!

So what did I get?



I picked up 8 of these. I figure Champ's was the best bet of the bunch, as the rest were base O Pee Chee packs. Given the size of the Champ's set being 580 cards, I am not going to be adding the set to my "collecting" list, but since these packs also have a bonus pack of stickers in them, and I know someone who like's his stickers, I get to have the fun of opening some packs, hopefully getting a couple Leafs, maybe an insert, and have some stickers to pass along!

Funny as I cracked them open, the sticker packs (2018-19) have individual prices on them of $1.39 and here they are with the Champ's packs for $1.49 (so is the Champ pack worth a dime?).
I am guessing these may not be too much of what I want, and maybe well picked over so as to see no inserts per se, but time will tell.

Scoring for this "box"....

2020 Box Scores Points

Error Card Double Score

First pack - which I guess really is two...



Player wise, the Ted Lindsay is pretty nice, but the only keeper from the bunch is the Chickadee mini - though the mini cards are base cards, but only part of the base set that is done in mini form.

These are the first 2018-19 Panini Stickers I've had in hand and didn't realize they are on the smaller side. They are decent for the small size and fit a lot on the front.

1 Pack, 9 Cards, 11 Points

  1. Pretty cool bargain priced repack. If I saw these at my local Target, I might grab a pack or two for a rainy day.
