Another Long Ago Box Break

 But this one, at least based on the image data, only goes to August of last year. 

After this, all that's left is some Elite Extra Edition. But enough of the future, let's look at the past.

Here's the base. As is the usual with this release - gold is the color used for the design, but unlike in previous years, it isn't very overpowering. 

Of course the rookies are numbered and SPd, why wouldn't they be?

And of course, all those base cards have parallels. I guess with two numbered cards appearing, this is a Nikita Okhotiuk hot box. 

The insert battle was easily won by the Generations one. But with 60 cards in the set and their required parallels, that was kinda expected. It did land me my only Sens card of the break, even if Dany Heatley, given the circumstances weren't ideal when he left, is an odd choice for 'Past'.

The only other non-hit insert.

Hit #1. Pyotr was considered the backup to Frederik Andersen when the season started, but when the starter ended up missing several months due to blood clotting, he ended up with the lion's share of the netminding workload. With UD choosing to spotlight the player by making the background black and white, his mask ends up working perfectly with the design. 

And the auto. Another player who is seeing a lot of ice time with the big club, even if, as a defenseman, he's not often seeing the scoresheet. But he was named 2024 Sports Personality of the Year, and that's far more interesting than assisting on a goal.

There you have it!
