Saw that Steel City Collectables had a deal - buy a hobby box and get a National 2020 Upper Deck Summer Promo pack for $130. Not sure that is a good price since this product doesn't seem to be doing well with collectors, but I haven't gotten my retail boxes in yet (looks like they are delayed until the end of August
). WTH!?!?!?
Opened the box and here are the results:
Base set: 157 of 200 with 10 duplicate base
Young guns: Arthur Kaliyev, Cam Johnson, Josef Korenar, Jack Rathbone, and Reese Johnson
Holografx: Connor McMichael and Bowen Byram. NHL Hologrfx - Victor Hedman
Ultimate Victory: Mitch Marner, Olli Juolevi, and Josh Norris.
SE: Dylan Cozens
, Ilya Sorokin, and Yegor Sharangovich. Not a bad bunch!
05-06 retro: Teuvo Teravainen, James Van Reimsdyk, Alexis Lafreniere
, and Phillip Kurashev.
Ovation: Marc Andre Fluery and Kirill Kaprizov.
SPx Finitie: Mark Stone (pack only had 6 cards since thicker insert).
Suit Variation: Torey Krug.
and finally the first one of these I have ever pulled: Young Gun Clear Cut Jack Rathbone.
Overall not a bad box, not sure I got my $ back, but at least I got some nice hits and some decent rookies in the insert sets. But wait . . .
I have that 2020 Upper Deck Summer Promo pack and here is what was in that:
Prominent Cuts - Michael Jordon and Wander Franco.
Top Shelf Rookies - Victor Olofsson and Adam Fox.
and what made this purchase worthwhile . . .
Top Shelf Rookies - Jack Hughes autograph #75/75!!!
Wowsers! That is an awesome hit and I was hoping for something like that when I saw this deal, so it worked out. Thanks SCC for the great pack and box. Good luck with your breaks!
