628.0. "1993-94 Donruss Hockey" by TWOBA::HAYES () Wed Jan 19 1994 14:08

    Donruss Hockey just hit the stores. 
    
    Donruss II Baseball order form is in. Any interest in prebuying
    boxes? Don't know the cost but I'll have to sell 10 boxes in
    order for the dealer to order it. If interested let me know.
    More on a price tomorrow.

628.1Down in Flames but Pavlock Pulls the Great OneTWOBA::HAYESThu Jan 20 1994 11:5930
I opened 3 boxes. The odds of getting an Elite card were 10 in 20 boxes when
I started. They were 10 in 17 when I finsihed.......ouch. The dealer opened
2 boxes while I was there. He got a Lemiuex and Hull Elite one from each box.

Denny Pavlock opened his box at my house last night. His son pulled a
Gretzky Elite.......more ouch. Congratulations Denny.

Denny sorted his box and was over 80 cards short of a set. I sorted three
boxes (numbers 1-99 only). Combining Denny's and mine we made one complete
set from 1-99. Missing 4 for a second set and 5 for a third. Will finish
sorting tonight. Even more ouch........

Inserts appeared to run 7 or 8 per box (8 if you get an Elite). 2 Ice Kings
(10 card set), 2 Premier Edition's (26 card set) and 3 Rated Rookies (15
card set). Premier's supposedly are limited to 20,000 of each card.

So I get 6 Ice Kings........3 are Selanne. Denny traded me Lindros for
one Selanne, he was feeling bad for me..........and I want to complete the
set, so I have a Selanne for trade.

Of 8 Rated Rookies I had duplicates of 3, all the bottom of the barrel too.
Denny gets Daigle.

I did good on the Premier Editions: Lemieux, Potvin, Roy, Oates, Hull,
Pronger.

How did others do?

628.4box reportSEND::TANCILLSponsered by nobodyMon Jan 24 1994 11:3814
    
    Opened one box, here's the result (sorry Steve):
    
    2 Ice Kings - Selanne and Bure
    3 Rated Rookies - Brodeur, Gratton & Daigle
    3 SPs - Falloon, Lindros & Oates
    
    And one Elite of some stiff named Lindros.
    
    I was 35 cards short of a set with about 55 extras leftover.  Not a
    bad box.

628.5wax is thining out...UHUH::SOKOLMon Feb 14 1994 10:206
    Stoped at the card show in Woburn yesterday, seems like the supply
    of wax is thining out, one dealer had a few boxes at $58 and sold them
    all by the end, another had one but really wasn't interested in
    selling?! Is it a set of the year?
