Early Christmas Break - 09-10 Artifacts

Last night I was watching the Sabres vs. Capitals game and was in a bad mood when the Sabres went down 2-0 after the first period. My wife, in an effort to cheer me up, suggested we each open one Christmas present during the intermission. She started and opened up a monogrammed fleece blanket I purchased her. She seemed to like it. Then she pulled my gifts out from under the tree and told me to pick. I had a feeling one of them was a box of 09-10 Artifacts as she had asked me a few times if that was the set I was collecting. After looking over the gifts and inspecting the packages, I decided on one and lucky me, I found the box of Artifacts.

This is my fourth box of 09-10 Artifacts this year. The results of my first three can be found in one of my earlier posts. Up to this point, I have had very good luck with this product. All three of my previous 09-10 boxes had a patch card and my only box of 08-09 also produced a dual patch card. This box would not produce the same results.

Inserts

Legends - Luc Robitaille, Larry Robinson

Rookies - Grant Lewis, Chris Durno (duplicates - FT)

Rookie Redemption - Columbus Blue Jackets (redeemed)

Parallel

Sam Gagner Silver Spectrum Base Parallel (06/25)

*This is the second Sam Gagner Base parallel I have pulled. I also pulled his gold base parallel (/50) in a previous break.

Memorabilia

Wade Redden Treasured Swatches (20/25)

Luc Robitaille Frozen Artifacts (034/199)

Ilya Kovalchuk/Bryan Little Tundra Tandems (15/25)

All in all not a spectacular break, but the swatches on the Tundra Tandems are nice and colorful and the box produced three cards serial numbered to 25 or less. I am still working on completing this year's Artifacts set. My needs can be found in the trading section of www.cloutsnchara.com . Thanks for the look and Happy Holidays!
