The Champ's Is Here! - Box 8

Yesterday, I called this the most consistent of the 10 boxes. Today, you see why.

As a hint, these were cards that didn't make the top 10.

#10:

All 3 of the fish cards in this box were needs for that subset, so I just grabbed the first one that was on the pile for inclusion in this post.

#9:

Another indication of the strength of this box is that one of hits only reaches #9.

#8:

This parallel card should be higher, but it was one that gets knocked down lower by the fact I really never planned on keeping this. This one of maybe 3 or 4 cards that were immediately in my "off to COMC" pile, with several others making appearances as dupes.

#7:

Another relic that should be higher, especially with it being the alternate jersey.

#6:

Not really surprising that the Northern Lights card would be the most colourful of the entries into the Northern Wonders series.

#5:

This was one of two cards in the set that I was glad I didn't need to purchase.

#4:

While the Larkin was the more expensive option for the base set card I didn't want to buy, this one does have have the classic Winnipeg Jets logo to elevate it.

#3:

The autograph in the box. Mike's been back-and-forth over the past few years between the AHL and the parent club.

#2:

My final silver /25 parallel in the case was this Steve Mason. A Kitchener Rangers alum!

#1:

The best way to wrap up a 2015-16 box break is with a Connor McDavid card, and this is my first hit of his. Even his one-colour rookie swatches go for a a decent amount, but I think I'll be hanging on to this one. Interestingly, I didn't get the McDavid #315 base card in this box, which I was a magnet for when only busting one or two boxes at a time. So, this was his only appearance for me in this break.

And there you have it.
