Wal-Mart Breaks - 97-98 Donruss, Leaf, Beehive and 10-11 H&P Update Set - PRICE was right

[SNobles]

I have been seeing various people posting about some old school boxes at Wal-Mart so I thought I would check out one of my local stores and found the following boxes:

97-98 Beehive:

3x Luongo RC
Golden Portraits - Yzerman, Selanne, Bourque, Robitaille, Fuhr, Recchi
Beehive Team - Thornton, Kariya

Authentic Signature - John Bucyk


97-98 Donruss:

Press Proof /2000 - Belfour, Rucchin, King, Mellanby


Press Proof Die Cut /500 - LeClair, Lehtinen


Rated Rookie - Vokoun
Line 2 Line /4000 - Selanne


Red Alert Die Cut /5000 - Palffy (very cool printed on plastic in the shape of a goal light)


97-98 Leaf:

Fractal Matrix - Campbell /700, Linden /1400, Modano /1600


Pipe Dreams - Thibault /2500
Gold Leaf Rookie - Thornton, Morozov


Fractal Matrix Die Cut - Robitaille /400
Fire on Ice Die Cut - Forsberg /1000


10-11 H&P Update Box:

Game Used Jersey Silver /40 - Jordon Caron


Nice 2 colour with a big seam too.

Finally the reason for the bad title:

Autographs - Carey Price (SP)


Overall very happy with the fun I had and the results of the boxes.

Comments welcomed and appreciated. All cards are FS or FT for Patrick Roy cards I need.

Thanks,
Scott

Is that Price not a ridiculous hit from Walmart? Crazy...

Love the leaf with the fractal matrix parallel set. Looks like you made good on your hits on the Donruss products. Nice hit on the ITG Price Auto.

I've been hitting up the local Walmarts and haven't found any 90's boxes yet, hopefully I will join in soon on these busts.

Wish my Walmart even carried hockey! Nice breaks dude!

Thanks for the comments guys. Some of my best pulls have been from Wal-Mart boxes. Lemieux auto from H&P pack in a random pack box was one of my favorites.

Walmart is selling H+P update now? Update is pretty good with the guaranteed GU+auto, plus the update sets aren't heavily broken. A lot better than the Arena boxes they had, I'll have to see if I can find some.

Maybe PGH made a deal with Wal-Mart. They had a boat load of 1997-98 Pinnacle bankruptcy product (along with D&A) and during their black Friday promotion they had 2010-11 ITG Update sets for around $9.00 or so.

Some pretty nice hits there.
