Just wanted to share a small box break story...

[AK11]

I am currently in the hospital right now getting IV treatment for my chronic lung condition and my cousin visited me Friday night with a little surprise: 2 blaster boxes of 2010-11 UD Series 1 from Target. We split the 12 packs from each box into 6 and 6 for a family version of pack wars, except I keep all the cards. The first box was nothing much, but the second I thought was quite nice and more than paid for the value of the 2 blasters combined. My cousin's 6 packs yielded both a Jordan Eberle YG RC and a YG Retro SP Taylor Hall! I do not have scans yet for obvious reasons, but it made it a very nice get well soon gift. I just wanted to share this as this is one of those sentimental value stories in card collecting. Thanks,

Andrew

a Eberle YG and a Hall Retro YG :shock:

congrats Andrew and I hope your hospital stay goes as smooth as possible.

Thanks for the comments. If you look at what is available to pull in a blaster box of UD, a Taylor Retro YG is probably one of the more valuable cards to pull. Add a nice YG in the same box and it's one hot blaster.
