2008-09 UD Champs Hockey - 24-pack box
This product intrigued me months ago when it came it, so I caved, hoping to pull the "case hit" Fossils and Artifacts card.

- Woolly Mammoth Femur REDEMPTION
FINAL: Pleased

First off, pulling the Woolly Mammoth Femur card was crazy because when I grabbed the box and started reading it, I told the owner that I wanted one of the 1:10 box Fossils and Artifacts cards, so when I saw the redemption, I hoped it some something decent. It was.

How much was the pack?

The box was $100...about $20 more than eBay, but instant gratification and supporting a local shop makes the trade-off even in my book.

Congrats on the femur, very cool.

Thanks. Pulling the card that you want in a box is always nice, especially a tough pull like that. It's not an extremely valuable card (roughly $70 on eBay it seems), but it's just a quirky oddball card I wanted to pull. Bizarrely, I don't know if I'm going to redeem it, sell the redemption, and redeem then sell.

My success rate with Upper Deck redemptions is only slightly better than my perceived chances of fighting a grizzly bear and winning.

And I should state that the Woolly Mammoth Femur redemption is for the full-sized card (large) instead of the small version.

Here are some scans I pulled off of eBay for comparison, and these are true to scale.
