My first foray into a full 18 pack of box of the Classic Wax Hockey edition was a bit underwhelming to say the least. Let's check out the second half of the box.

Well, there wasn't anything really outstanding that came out of this box. There wasn't a ton of variety either as most packs had cards from the same sets (there ended up being a card from 1991-92 O-Pee-Chee in every pack).
But as I've mentioned on this blog before I love these types of repacks and I don't expect a huge ROI from this. I've seen some of these opened on YouTube and people seem to like these because you never know what you are going to get. Not entirely true. I was pretty sure after the 5th or 6th pack I knew what I was going to get. Maybe not the actual card, but I definitely knew what sets they were going to be from.
Thanks for reading!
