so my 2 Olympic HOBBY Cases came in today...i could pull 4 packs from the box and get 2 of the 3 hits EVERY time, so packing wasnt the most 'random' if you will...
also, there were a number of packs that had duplicates, and the 'mixing' order was off compared with the blasters, a bit more random in the hobby for sure...
and through 420 blasters, 2 hobby cases, and 1 random hobby box I STILL havent pulled a Gold Medal Parallel of Julia Mancuso, they are 1:8 packs for a gold, so over 500 gold parallels ive pulled out of a 100 card set, and STILL havent gotten one is a bit weird...but thats not the only strange thing, i have yet to pull a Jamie Anderson BASE Relic, i pulled a Silver /50 and Bronze /75 in Blasters, but yet to pull a BASE, so that is another set i cant really complete...
anyway, lets look at some pictures
"junk" relics
more 'junk' relics
decent relics
a few more decent relics, the lettering on the Purdy is crazy
'junk' autos
Bronze Relics /75
Silver Relics /50, with another decent Purdy patch
Sochi Pins, they were 1:3000+ in blasters, they are 1:267 in Hobby
Sochi Patches, they were 1:800+ in blasters, they are 1:133 in Hobby
Olympic Team Ring Patches, also 1:800+ in blasters, 1:133 in Hobby, and the Gracie Gold is getting tucked away. The Gold was also in the best box of the day, Case 2 Box 1
some of the 'better' Autos, the Meryl Davis was in the 1st box of the 1st case, the Vonn was 1st pack of 1st box in 2nd case
some Bronze /50 Autos and Silver /30, Mancuso was in Case 2, Box 1, so in the first 6 packs, I hit the Vonn, then Mancuso, then Gold...too bad that was as good as it got
Evan is Gold /15, and the Jamie Anderson is the first card I've seen in ALL of the boxes that has a color bottom. Every other card I've pulled is SOLID WHITE across the bottom, but this looks like it was before the white was added. It isnt a spill mark, or a marker mark, it was in the design, so I'm going to see if I can get a premium on it for being 'unique.' It is just the Bronze Medal Edition which are 1 per pack. Before I opened these cases, i had 20 complete sets, AND i have 40 more Anderson, not counting what I got today, which i havent sorted up yet.
"Champions" Women, HOBBY ONLY, Kerrigan is going to PC, only lady i didnt get was Bonnie Blair
"Champions" Men just missing Brian Boitano, and have a Eruzione from my first hobby box.
so yeah, thats it...ill have to make listings later to burn through the rest of my freebies...NONE of the #'d stuff is going up though, as I hope they do like the 2012 Olympic stuff, which is NUTS. "Common" Silver relics do around $20, and the heavy hitters are $50+

Hopefully you did too. I forwarded it to you.
