Aloha all, currently honeymooning in beautiful Hawaii. Spent a wonderful week in Maui and just flew in to the main island yesterday. Was chomping at the bit to get to Paula's sports card shop and we made it there late this Arvo. Awesome littleshop packed to the rafters with boxes and Paula was a real lovely lady so if anyone's headed here I highly recommend coming here for a visit.
Anyway, I'll be breaking
1x prizm
1x elite
2x crown royale
2x contenders
Will start breaking after I shower and will post results after. Also grabbed 2 loose packs of both contenders and elite which I broke there... Some pretty good mojo and high fives shared with Paula and some of her customers.... Will reveal soon

Here are the pics... Sorry took a while
The initial bounty
Box of Elite

Box #1 of Contenders

and of course the big hit which i pulled from a loose pack of contenders:
Will have to get some pics up of other cards i pulled from the second visit when i can get around to digging them out of my luggage... some brutal boxes mixed in there but i think the golden ticket made up for most of the damage...

Couldn't quite believe it when I pulled it and one of her customers explained to me it was a 1/1.... Absolutely made my day even before I busted any boxes.
Thanks for all the mojo guys. Again, I highly recommend swinging by to Paula's if you're lucky enough to land in this part of the world. Also lucky that it was my birthday and the Missus was encouraging me to grab a few extra boxes
Awesome Golden Ticket pull!! That itself would have made the whole break, but a Luck Silhoutte is a huge pull also. The Tannehill Silhoutte is also a pretty decent hit and one QB who I think can make some big strides next season if the Dolphins actually sign or draft a decent number 1 WR. Also I think the Pierce Red Ink is /10 too.
BTW once you are all back settled from the Honeymoon, I am interested in the Ellison Contenders auto.
Enjoy Hawaii, somewhere I really want to go myself.
Hehe, highly recommended mate! I think I have a different Bernard pierce red auto incoming via eBay waiting for me when I get home so if the one I pulled is a duplicate I'll keep you informed if you're keen on it
HI mate, just in Waikiki at the moment. Little bit of a tourist trap... Should've spent more time on the other islands.
