The Habs were staying downtown for a change and I thought I would give game time a try.  Really worth the effort!

Ron Francis

Thoughts:  The price was right so I thought I'd take a chance on this and hope for a Drasaitil or a Gaudreau Young Guns, but to no avail.  No real household names for the Young Guns, or 25th anniversary buybacks.  The Francis auto kind of saved the box.

Packs Per Box:15

Exclusives #/199 1:3 - 4

Autograph/Patch Mix 1:6 - 3

Meghan Agosta Auto Patch #/199
Stelio Mattheos Auto Patch #/199
Mario Lemieux Manufactured Patch (1:45)

Thoughts:  I always like to buy these boxes since they come in handy when I try to get autographs from the Junior teams.  Getting three patches in one box was a nice surprise as well.  Too bad they keep downsizing the size of the boxes.  Overall, a good birthday present!
