Please see my first box break for product analysis.

I initially thought I remembered BAP advertising that one in every two boxes of this stuff had a game used card. And yet here I am on box #3 and I've pulled 3 amazing memorabilia cards!

The highlight of this box quite clearly was the Bondra Stick/Jersey. I mean just look at it: a 3 color jersey nice and even colors, a great swatch. The stick swatch isn't bad either, with a nice chunk of the S from Easton. What about that card isn't there to like? That's just an amazing memorabilia card to pull.

But in this box, the return of the no-name autographs is made. I did pull a limited auto of Zigmund Palffy, which is sweet (it's limited, it better be!) However, aside from that, Oleg Tverdovsky and Aaron Miller are the highlight signatures. That's just pathetic.

IF the memorabilia is really one per box (and I can't confirm or deny that right now) then a box of BAP Signature reduces down to a cheap pack of BAP Ultimate: one likely to be awesome memorabilia card and 12 wildcard autographs. Considering these boxes are fairly cheap online right now, if you believe that memorabilia does fall one per box, then BAP Signature becomes a whole lot more attractive than the 5.0 Product Rating I gave it.

Of course, if it is 1:2 boxes and I've just been lucky ... can you imagine a box with just these autographs. That would be rough.
