2021-22 Parkhurst Hockey Blaster

 I know the title doesn't leave much to the imagination, but that's okay, hopefully the findings within the box will make up for it. I have two of these blasters which I picked up on clearance at Walmart a couple years ago, so enough to put the set on my list for slow set builds - so I have that going for it. I do already have an unopened pack in my collect, so I will get to open the entirety of the box. I do have a complete Leafs team base set already, but will need more if I am set building. With 280 cards and 50 on top of that which are rookie/short prints, not a huge set, but I may be over 50% when through the two if all goes well.

That is what the box and the pack look like - Crosby heavy which works for me!

First pack up though for today....

Nice to get a Leaf in the first pack! The design reminds me of a less nice looking MVP set - just more white to these. It's okay, but doesn't win any great awards from me on being a great design. Still, nice enough to collect with the clean look so, good start there.

Mattias has remained with Buffalo and played about half of each season with the club, so a solid rookie entry here.

The Parkie inserts look quite 70s inspired with the design. Not my thing, but they do stand out and look much better in hand than scanned. Spencer spent a few years in Florida backing up in net, and this past season with Chicago. THese Parkies fall one every 6 packs, so may get another in the blaster, will have to see.

Not too bad a first pack, let's see how things continue.
