Got this in a few days ago. 32 pack box of hobby 12/13 OPC for $58. Not a bad price, just the autos and manufactured patches are 1:6 and 1:4 boxes or something like that, so the odds of a big return are not in your favor.

Here are the results of my box break:

Base set: 185 of 500 or 37%

Legends (8): Schmidt, Esposito, Savard, Kelly, Kurri, LaFleur, Robinson, Shanahan

Rookies (8):
M Hutchinson - Bruins
Akim Aliu - Flames
Brandon Bollig - Hawks
Mike Connolly - Avs
Jason Zucker - Wild
Michael Stone - Yotes
Tyson Sexsmith - Sharks
Carter Ashton - Leafs

Retro Parallels (32):
26 base, notable players Letang smile.gif , Subban, Doughty, Thorton, and some others

3 Legends: Neely, Potvin, Statsny
3 Rookies: D Prout - CBJ, JT Brown - Bolts, R Hamilton - Leafs

1 Retro Parallel blank back: D Moore biggrin.gif Could have been a better player, still nice

Rainbow foils (8):
Base: Kipper, Setoguchi, Harrison, Campbell, Brown, Howard
Legend: Brent Sutter
Rookie: J Nolan - Kings

Black rainbow foils (2) #d/100:
R Callahan
Rookie: Cody Goldubef - CBJ

Pop-Ups (2): Zach Parise and Alexander Ovechkin

Stickers (10):
M Hossa, M Duchene, J Tavares, M Messier, H Lundqvist, E Malkin smile.gif , MA Fluery smile.gif , J Thorton, D Phanuef, and O Pavelec

Base set - 3 of 5 - Not a bad design, tan bordered cards with nice photos of the players, but not spectacular.

Inserts - 4 of 5 - Nice stuff, love the foils, the retros were so-so, but what stood out to me were the stickers and the pop ups, both neat looking.

Hits - 2 of 5 - not a lot of value from this standpoint in breaking a box, unless you hit one of the manufactured patch sps or a nice auto, so don't go into this expecting a big hit if you buy this.

Quality control - 4 of 5 - did not notice any issues with my cards in this box.

Overall - 3 of 5 - not a bad box and a fun set to build, just lacks the excitement that other products have for pulling gu or autos. I will probably buy another box to try to finish the set or get closer. Not sure, but I do like to build this one every year.

Thanks for looking and good luck with your breaks.
