Canada Post may be going on strike as early as Tuesday, shutting down the mail delivery service completely.

I felt this should be posted since many of us are eBay sellers etc. and shipping delays can kill a seller's feedback etc.

Not the best box of that you could have pulled, sorry dude sad.gif

But the Steve Smith prime GU should sell well and get you a chunk of the $$ back, if you're an eBayer!

Nice box, always great to get PC out of one too.  Haven't seen the product yet, but sounds like not up to expectations from what I have seen so far from folks.

I'd say it seems right in line with the Panini FB products, many of which had single-color swatches like this as well. I'm just glad someone other than UD is making hockey cards, to keep them on their toes!!

I love Panini products and I love hockey, so naturally I'll be buying a lot of this over the weeks... first comment, though, is that the base cards feel cheap. They are a bit sticky and some of their corners aren't sharp coming out of the packs... mad.gif

I'm always going for Oilers, which means this will be a pricey year for me...

The inserts:

Masked Marvels Blue Pekka Rinne 002/100
Certified Legends Henri Richard 395/500
Collision Course Steve Ott 170/500
Matt Duchene Mirror Red 099/250
Bryan Trottier Immortals Mirror Red 041/250

The hits:

Bryan Pitton RC Auto 309/799 (the easiest of the Oilers rookies to hit, but I'll take it!)
Zach Hamill RC on-card Auto (sweet auto, too) 0063/1299
Sidney Crosby Mirror Blue GU black swatch 001/100
Duncan Keith Mirror Red Dual GU both Red swatches 46/50
