AWWWWWW, YEAH! Upper Deck Series Two was released earlier this week. I picked up 3 boxes. Here are the results of my first box break:
153 Base Cards
Series 2 is so full of parallels and inserts that you get about 12 less base cards in a box than you do in Series 1.
6 Young Guns
At least the number of Young Guns is consistently 6 per box. I got rookie cards of Robert Bortuzzo, Gabriel Bourque, Harry Zolnierczyk, Marcus Foligno, Zack Kassian and the Young Guns Checklist.
1 UD Exclusive
Shawn Thornton, numbered 75/100.
3 UD Canvas
What a great portrait of T.J. Oshie. I also pulled Canvas cards of Jeff Skinner and Derek Roy.
1 UD Canvas Young Guns
Calgary Flames goaltender Leland Irving.
3 Hockey Heroes
I got Hockey Heroes cards of Bobby Hull, Johnny Bower and this awesome painting card of Bobby Hull and Stan Mikita. Apparently, you get this card card 1 in every 600 packs. I was going to keep it anyway, but knowing that it’s extra-rare and of two Blackhawks legends makes it that much cooler.
2 Game Used Jersey Cards
A UD Game Jersey card of Los Angeles Kings defenseman Jack Johnson.
A Rookie Materials card of Montreal Canadiens center Louis Leblanc.
6 Victory Update Cards
Maxime Talbot, Kris Versteeg, Jeff Carter, David Booth, Brayden Schenn and Mike Richards.
6 Victory Update Rookie Cards
Raphael Diaz, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, Craig Smith, Tim Erixon, Ryan Johanson and Matt Read.
2 MVP Update Cards
Jean-Sebastien Giguere and Ilya Bryzgalov.
1 MVP Update Rookie Card
Gabriel Landeskog of the Colorado Avalanche.
1 O-Pee-Chee Update Card
Seymon Varlamov. One down, 9 more of these non-rookie OPC update cards to go.
2 O-Pee-Chee Update Rookie Cards
Another RC of RNH! Awesome! I also got Mika Zibanejad.
1 O-Pee-Chee Retro Parallel
Sean Courtier. This is a parallel of his Marquee Rookie card.
So far, so good. I am going to pursue the O-Pee-Chee and Victory parallel sets, so I have a few more reasons besides Young Guns to buy several boxes. Stay tuned for my next break.
Nice breaks! Enjoyed this post, can't go wrong with fresh Hopkins.
Jeez Sal, you'd be hard pressed to find a better break than what you got. Two Nuges, a Kassian, AND a Landeskog? Well played, sir. Well, played.
nice break bud.
Can you pick out my boxes at the show this weekend? You're killing it with UD this year!
Ton of good rc's… wow.
Very nice break!
Very nice break!
Two RNH in the same box??? That's preposterous. Plus, OPC in base UD release??? That's preposterous. You know what else is preposterous…the fact that I have none and you have three boxes. Maybe this weekend…no definitely this weekend.
