Picked this up pre-sell as the sell sheet looked pretty good with 5 hits per box (pack).
Here is the video:

Dion Phaneuf base
King Clancy base
Sweeney Schriner base
Zdeno Chara base
Sprague Cleghorn gold base
Autos:
Eric Staal Carolina Hurricanes
Dave Taylor LA Kings
Game Used:
Denis Savard Blackhawks Silver Jersey
Eric Lindros Stick and Jersey Gold Version
Teemu Selanne - Scott Niedermayer - Ryan Getzlaf Franchise Captains Gold triple jersey
Base set - 4 of 5 - Nice looking reminds me of 03-4 Heads Up or 02-3 Exclusive by Pacific, but with a different design. Pretty nice looking, would not mind trying to build it, but might be hard with how limited this product is.
Autos - 3 of 5 - Average autos, not bad, just remind me of H&P autos even though marked differently. Also both are sticker autos which aren't thrilling. Could have been better, but not the worst I have seen.
Game Used - 4 of 5 - Not quite average, a little better with a decent swatch size on the Savard, and nice coloring on the other two. Player selection was not bad, even though I am not a big Lindros fan.
Quality Control - 5 of 5 - Did not notice any issues and probably would not with the way this product is packaged in the 20 count hard cases, those really protect the cards from damage.
Overall - 3.5 of 5 - Product was better than average and delivered a few nice hits, but this box felt lacking to me. Not sure why, could be because just a minute or two of opening, or could be just not wowed with the players I got. All of them were not bad, just not what I was hoping for. Oh well, those are the breaks.
Good Luck with your breaks!
