It may be a new year, but I'm continuing with the 2017-18 Parkhurst Hockey blasters. After the third blaster I was 87.3% of the complete set. Will I finish it with this blaster? I'm thinking no, but we shall see.
Base Cards - 108 cards (36% of the complete set) with no duplicates. This is what I've seen with all four blasters other than the one pack that contained two inserts. There haven't been doubles in any blasters.

Everything was in line again in this blaster. As for my set completion, this is where collation frustration kicks in. Before this blaster, I needed 38 cards to complete the set. That's over 10% of the cards. In this blaster, I got THREE cards that I needed. That is it. 105 of 108 base cards in the box were multiples.
I don't have the answer and it's not my job to. However, this is pretty ridiculous, to be honest. It's another reason that I see set collectors becoming more and more frustrated with companies. This gives me little confidence that I will complete the set with the cards in the final blaster. That means I will have spent $100 and still not completed the set. To be honest, it seems like a valid reason for why set building has all but died. What are your thoughts? Feel free to leave comments below.
If you shop online and haven't
signed up and used ebates yet, you're missing out. I also use it on eBay to get money back from purchases there. Between referrals and cash back, I've gotten over $150 in a year (including $15 back on one Black Friday purchase last week). FREE CARDS!
If you're on Twitter, please
give me a follow. You can also find
me on Trading Card Database. I love trading cards, when it makes sense. Happy collecting!
