Thanks gang, this was a fun box to rip. There is so many different kinds of cards in the series & pulling a longshot like the Giguere mini auto sure makes for a nice finishing touch.

Bobstar · March 2, 2004 4:51AM

jazz1232dc- WOW what an awesome pull on the Forsberg patch. That must have made up for getting 2 of the Naslund autos! LOL
Looks like you landed a nice box too.
We might have to do another box of it & try for a patch. Way to go!

jazz1232dc · March 2, 2004 5:03AM

Thanks Bob. I know I'm gonna pick up another box soon. I love Pristine in any product. Especially hockey. Make sure you post your pulls if you get another box.

Bobstar can you use a Datsyuk 03-04 UD jersey?
If so can you tell me what Kings or Ducks GU or Auto you or your son has available for trade.

I am looking for any Federov stuff too if you have anything nice of him in a Ducks uniform.

LMK and congrats on CJ's B-day.

ljmaya- Thanks for the Datsyuk offer but we'll pass on that. We'll
check our stash for any Kings/ Ducks goodies & get back to you.
Maybe if you have some Avs stuff, we could work a trade.

very nice pulls, the hockey Pristine looks really nice this year!

Bobstar · March 2, 2004 9:57PM

Seth- Thanks. Topps did a nice job with this product. Just wish they would put out the Heritage too, but they are afraid of the pending lockout. Oh well, will just have to get another box of this!

seth2720 · March 3, 2004 12:25PM

Bob, how much are you paying for a box of it?

Thanks
Seth

Bobstar · March 4, 2004 3:46AM

seth2720-We got a box on sale at $125. Looks like its back at the $135 level now. Might wait for it to go on sale again.

kornboy123 · March 4, 2004 5:19AM

dont know much about hockey, but that auto you pulled sounds real nice! congrats

Chris

Bobstar · March 4, 2004 5:39AM

kornboy123- Thanks. Giguere is a very good goalie & also the fact that the odds are 318-1 of pulling one of the "minis" sure made it an
awesome pull. Also, both CJ & me really like collecting goalies so the fact that the auto was one of the better goalies in the NHL added to our excitment!
