WHAT DID I PULL?

Set completion: 94/110 ~ 85%
Doubles/Triples: 2 (both Ed Belfour)

8x10 set: 28/36 ~ 78%
Doubles: 7

Silver Press Proofs (1 of 1000): x3
64 Pierre Turgeon
65 Dino Ciccarelli
109 Wayne Gretzky checklist

Silhouettes: x1
7 Dominik Hasek #0726/1500

8x10 Silhouettes: x1
9 Pavel Bure #1103/3000

Best card:
The Silhouettes are sweet. I like the orange color of the Hasek, but the 8x10 version of the Bure is sweet also. I’ll have to pick the Hasek, though. These have holes in the card, and so when you tilt it a certain way, you see through the card, and see the player’s face. Pretty sweet looking.

Final Thoughts:
I was extremely happy with my pulls, especially the Hasek and the Gretzky inserts. Pretty close to 2 complete sets (regular and 8x10), and so I might have to pick up another box! Nice looking cards, and the 8x10s would be great for autographs. Therefore, I give this box an A.

and some pics:

Hasek silhouette, the three silver press proofs, and a base card of Roy

8x10 Bure silhouette (didn't show the basic 8x10s, but they are exactly the same design as the Roy in the 1st pic)

all for trade except my Avalanche

lmk what your missing, a buddy of mine ripped a box of that stuff the other day, so might be able to help finish your sets

I'll try to compile a list either later today or tomorrow (well, the weekend can get brutal, so maybe sunday...haha).
Thanks for the heads up!
