2010-11 Certified Hockey Live Box Break

[Mister_Ed]

First of all, I want to thank Panini for providing this box for me to review. A full review of the box, including my opinion of the product, will be available, with pictures, within the next 24 hours.

A brief rundown of the product before i crack it.

Panini Certified is the same style as the old Leaf Certified. This is the first year Panini has had a hockey lisence, and Certified has always been a wonderful product in the other sports. Much like football, Certified hockey is a 10 pack/5 card per pack box. Stated odds are 4 hits per box, and this years product features on card autographs of the rookies- a nice change from so many sets that use sticker autographs.

If anyone is watching, please let me know, and I will get this started!
