Lightning Can Strike Twice: The Fairfield NHL Memorabilia Card Mystery Break

After pulling a hit from a discounted repack a few days ago I went out and picked up another hoping for the same kind of mojo.  Again instead of the one pack printed on the box I got two (not complaining) packs, 2006-07 Upper Deck Beehive and 2007-08 Upper Deck Artifacts; the memorabilia card is inserted in the plain white envelope.

I don't want to spoil anything but like the title says, lightning can strike twice with these repacks.  Take a look underneath the cut.

Jean Beliveau + Curtis Joseph Sendoffs

Finally got around to writing the letters to go along with my latest TTM send-offs to Jean Beliveau and Curtis Joseph.  I was inspired to write Beliveau after watching his feature on the Legends Of Hockey series and Joseph was one of my favorite netminders during the wax junk era.

2009-10 Upper Deck Hockey Series 2 Box Break

Hey guys, I picked up a random box of 2009-10 Upper Deck Series 2 for 50% off earlier today.  12 packs included in the box, 5 cards per pack. 

Out of the 60 cards I pulled I'll post my top ten favorites from the break under the cut.  Not a lot of hits in these boxes and the photography on most of the base cards look pretty flat.

More 2011-12 Upper Deck Victory

Haven't been much into the pack buying lately, especially the higher end stuff.  I'm still deciding which direction I want to take with this hobby. 

Anyway I did pick up another three packs of the latest Victory from Upper Deck the other day, I can't help but grab a few every now and then because they don't cost an arm and a leg. 

Pack 1

Sideny Crosby / Checklist #200 - Thought I had pulled a Crosby base from the set but a quick look at the reverse and you'll find the checklist.

Patrick Sharp / MVP #20
