Verified Trader,
You know the set, and you probably know where I'm going with this 
Lots of people have talked about the "last pack" rule, and never leave the last pack behind in a box. There has been a lonely tin of 15-16 UD Series 1 at my local Walmart for (at least) a few months. I've rejected the idea of plunking down $45 for the 3:50 Change of pulling a McDavid... but I keep checking back, hoping to see they unearthed a bunch of blasters / parkhurst blasters / tins, and have them marked for clearance (I did the UD Blasters /w Parkhurst bonus packs at the time of 15-16 being new... took me like 12 of them before I hit my one & only McDavid).
To add to all of this - I have not really cracked much wax in a long time. Last spring I dumped all of my UD sets (still happy I made that deal). Part of it was wanting to cash out, part of it was no longer wanted to give that much space on a bookshelf to cards, and part of it was wanting to rid myself of the temptation to continue to buy them See, if I've got all UD S1/2 sets from 90-91 to 15-16 - I will end up building 16-17. Without the first 25 years? Meh. I have not bought a pack.
Anyway - There were certainly some nice cards in there that are gone... I'd probably do better today in sale price if I'd waited (Crosby, alone, has jumped over $500 in value in less than a year) but I don't really miss any of it, except for one card. I'm an Oilers fan, I've kept my all-time Oilers RC collection (and continued to add to it) but I was really missing this bigger name RC from 2015-16 No chance I'd plunk down the $300 for a YG.... the $1k for a FW, etc, etc, but buy a tin and gamble? Why not.
Anyway, here's the top two cards from the Tin:
Yeah, I'm pretty happy. The McDavid is staying with me... I'd move the Domi out if someone needs it.
