[@ralphreitsma3013]

Now that is a Great Break Fulton as I said you can't beat these older cards and cards of super great players from years past. The Baun auto is sweet but that Decades card is simply put AMAZING!!!! WOW!!!!! GREAT PULL. CONGRATS FULTON. KEEP'EM COMING!!!!! #dryden

[@philippemarois5828]

This was INCREDIBLE!! Thank you Mr Fulton for this Christmas season gift! That last 1970s card is so beautiful 🤩 Wow ! Bonker!!

[@jkjkjohnny]

Great break. It was nice to see some of the Leaf legends. Thanks for sharing.

[@brandonabel5662]

This was awesome to watch. I appreciate you putting up these amazing boxes for us to see being from close to Toronto. This box was great to watch. Congratulations on all the awesome hits.

[@pedrocirino5695]

so so so good!!! loved it!! fulton cards and a nice glass red douro wine is always a good time!!

[@chrisscott5235]

Very sweet product. Congrats on the hits. Wait, they were all his

[@maryk6192]

That was crazy crazy crazy fun as a leafs fan!!! Thanks Fulton,that was awesome. Vaive was THE MAN during some bad years in Toronto.

[@robertcopeland2946]

Grew up in North York in the 70's and had season tickets. Sitler, Salming, Palmateer and Williams use to get their haircuts at my barber's by our house. They would go out of their way to talk to us and tell us stories and handed out enough mem to start your own hockey team! I use my Mike Palmateer goalie stick in street hockey until it fell apart. The good old days were good!

[@Fultoncards]

Such great anecdotes. I used to wait by the side door of the Montreal Forum for Flower and Big Bird to sign with a frozen Bic pen. I recently emptied my parents' home of all my row of old wooden street hockey sticks. Could you imagine anyone today using a Joseph Woll stick for street hockey? They would immediately price it on eBay.

[@jasonparker3226]

Thanks for this break Fulton. My 6 yr old daughter loves the Leafs, and loves hockey cards. She enjoyed seeing and learning of the vintage players. #Dryden

[@cowboyconey]

Nice to see Sundin in this set. He was nowhere to be found in UD’s leaf centennial set.

[@Fultoncards]

I was thinking the same thing. I also noticed Sundin is increasingly in Leaf Trading Cards, which is great.

[@henkestenke]

Amazing cards! Don’t really follow any team in the NHL, but the Leafs have a special place in my heart. Salming, Hammarström, Sundin, Modin amongst other Swedish absolute LEGENDS. Especially now when I watch the Salming miniseries, a lot of the old cats like Sitler and Macdonald show up in cameos. Great product, great break and congratulations on your pulls, well deserved! #dryden

[@s.macintosh-jc9rf]

Hi there, This was one of my favourite rips of all time! I always wanted to own a box of this product and seeing you rip it is the second best thing. Take it easy and keep on ripping! Have a great Sunday, Peter

[@stevewebb4096]

Wicked break. A huge LEAFS/Bower fan so that was fun to watch. Thanks for the content

[@jeremylavoie301]

It always feels good when you get the autograph of a player and it's so elegantly made that you can actually read it. We've once scored a Sergueï Samsonov which was literally two random lines aligned in a weird way. Funny anecdote, we've pulled that card in a 04-05 SPA pack, but it's just a straight buyback from the 00-01 UD Legends set. We've immediately laughed at our destiny because we had like over 150 packs of 00-01 UD Legends to open that holiday season. When we got the thing we made the joke that "no matter what we open, it's gonna be an 00-01 Legends signature".

[@Fultoncards]

Classic. I actually have another box of 04/05 SPA to open.

[@PaulSmith-fz3qc]

Wow! Simply wow! Hopefully you can find some more at some point. What an incredible break with an absolute ton of history. #Dryden

[@darekdeangleo]

This is a prime example to me of why Leaf product, licensed or not, is a great product to break. With current products, you are hoping to hit 1 decent auto or memorabilia. A product like this delivers. So many cool autos and memorabilia cards. Great break, great product, great cards. Have a fantastic day Fulton. #Dryden

[@jennrogers1518]

WOW!!! What a break! That last card though!!! Jealous you pulled that, but happy for you!

[@kerrinasmundson676]

Great box Fulton! These products were amazing, i have a Barilko glove /3 i think from this set, and the same Gump auto from the Habs set. Love seeing and hearing about these historical greats! Don't listen to the complainers about your video style, its for the love of this great game, not the profits or whatever #dryden

[@BrianTheriault]

Crazy good box! This one was made for you haha with all the goalies #dryden

[@TheMrRichard]

I think my favorite thing to look at (no way I can afford to rip these beauts so I watch haha!) on these products that combine HOF's and new guys is how different the names are, you wont ever see another name like Punch Imlach again! #DRYDEN "Recching Ball" was my dude in the 90's and 00's!!

[@wrapacademytraining]

#Dryden ...Vaive was my favourite Leaf player from that Era!! What a break!! Thanks for sharing that! LGI

[@kenscardboard]

Really cool product. So many cut autos and the relics were amazing. Hopefully you enjoyed the rip as much as I did. #Dryden.

[@ericandrews2115]

Cheers on opening one of your grail boxes! Always a treat seeing products like this opened. Nice you got plenty of goalie mojo! #Dryden

[@ImnotaPirate]

Awesome box!

[@Blackopspenguin]

Outstanding! Great to see you get hits that you really want! #dryden

[@perch0007]

The goalie mojo continues!!! As a leafs fan this was such an iconic set to see. Full of absolute legendary players.#DRYDEN

[@LennoxMatt1]

One of the guys I used to break with sent some custom cards to Bower to sign, he got them back the same week he died, so they have to be some of the very last cards he signed

[@sabinoruiz2080]

Fantastic video and great break

[@bobmiller6787]

Dougie also played for the Sabres.

[@Fultoncards]

Sure, and CHI and STL. Based on the comments I usually get, ppl associate him most with CGY, TOR, and BUF. Less so the other teams. I'm not sure why. It prob relates to his playoff runs, and which jerseys UD showcases the most.

[@slimrick]

WHAT A BOX GO LEAFS GO WAHOOO

[@brianzirbel9189]

Outstanding goalie mojo. Live this and never seen it ripped. Glad to hear your excitement. #dryden

[@SimonMTL]

Gilmour was great with the Habs. I know the glass on the penalty box door will never forget him. #Dryden

[@TheBammy99]

Okay.. that’s just amazing. Cool stuff as always!! #Dryden

[@douglashutton7655]

Damn nice box and just for your all entertainment my dad and grandpa had season tickets way back from the 60s and got to meet all the leafs and got to go down when they won there last cup and got a stick signed and I will be the proud owner of that stick #dryden

[@danielmontpetit5064]

Pretty cool “Goalie” Box break. Thanks for posting unique hockey boxes. #DRYDEN

[@dshockeybreaks]

It really is a unique product! #dryden

[@paullisanti4727]

Best break ever and it may be my bias as I’m a leaf fan. Fun fact Vaive and Gilmour both resided in East York a small borough in Toronto. As a kid I went door to door canvassing annd low annd behold Vaive and he sponsored me for a eventAs for the hits I’d take the best seven and hold them to my grave. Thanks really enjoyed this one #dryden

[@Fultoncards]

Great anecdote. Your the second person who mentioned meeting players locally.

[@TLHockeyCards]

As a leaf's fan, this was cool to see #Dryden

[@bobmiller6787]

Go Leafs Go!

[@nikmastromarino2704]

this stuff is amazing if they made a Bruins box like this I would definitely be buying it for sure. It’s too bad that the Bruins Centennial box that’s out is a retail thing, it’s 50 bucks a box and you get a whole set of cards and you have a few chances at some decent things, but autographs are a longshot. I still want to own one but something like this would be far better

[@Fultoncards]

Well said. I was insinuating exactly that.

[@billsmafiacards9420]

That Decades card at the end was nice #dryden

[@carlagilbert1449]

Great box! #Dryden

[@PhilipFrench-ly9rm]

These products are wicked and how couldn't they be with Brian Price making this stuff. I miss itg products back when he owned itg and got so so many sick cards from breaking btp, h&p's, enforcers, decades, etc.. you just don't see that kinda stuff anymore at the cheaper price point. Leaf certainly does a great job at carrying on the itg name I just wish their stuff was a little cheaper. Can't beat legends products like these especially when it comes to the mem cards. Congrats on the great box

[@Fultoncards]

Agreed. Just to clarify Brian Price was ITG, and he now does President's Choice (unrelated the President's Choice food and beverages, even though they mimic the font). Brian Gray bought ITG and turned it into Leaf, which is unrelated to the old Leaf trading cards, and has nothing to do with President's Choice. This Leaf is out of Dallas, and unrelated to the old Donruss Leaf (1980s/1990s). In August, Brian Gray from the newer Leaf stepped down, and Kevin O'Neil became CEO.

[@sheaweber35]

This box was made for you to open! #dryden

[@LennoxMatt1]

I wonder if they are going to do one for Boston's Centennial this year, UD has a box set release for it #Dryden

[@corndogg4279]

Wow amazing set I would love a redwings box if they ever make it #dryden

[@DavidWilson-li5pc]

Love the Palmateer seat card. My /10 auto of Palmateer from SP Legends is one of my favorite hits #DRYDEN

[@paullisanti4727]

500 boxes no wonder they cant be found anywhere

[@leemcdonald2473]

#dryden

[@robrobert3438]

To bad ballard is on the box.

[@15DurangoRT]

Those boxes are junk

[@Fultoncards]

For what it's worth. I've been breaking boxes since the 70s. It is bar none a Top 5 product of mine. The cards are absolutely cherished at shows. You just can't find contemporary products with Jacques Plante signed sticks, or Turk Broda and Howie Morenz autos. Morenz died in 1937. PC and ITG have never relied on proprietary licensing, pretentious design, or the rookie-du-jour who tanks a year later (like The Cup at $1,000+/box). They are campy, playful and affordable cards of HOF. I've been able to build out the Habs set and the cards are astonishing, including numerous players who are long deceased, nameplates, literal pieces of the goalposts, Vezina's skates, red forum seats signed by Lafleur, etc. I'll take those over a Kaprizov who entered the NHL at age 25 and will probably retire in the KHL and never ride up the all-time stats boards, i.e. $1,500 cards in year one but $150 cards a few years later.

[@williamcampbell5349]

I had to watch this with no volume. Way too much talking making a 8 minute video into a 20 minute video was as irritating as it gets.

[@MeMurray-i1i]

You have the ability to fast forward? it’s more irritating to see someone make a comment like this.

[@1961Tys]

You’ve come to the wrong place. Plenty of other channels out there.

[@nucks4life11]

You can go watch something else. Nobody asked you to be here. And Fulton is the best break channel on KZbin. If you were kinda smart you would take a minute to listen. You might learn a thing or two.

[@sashastefanovic5762]

Pointless comment. Fulton is a legend because his openings are about genuine love and storytelling, not adrenaline and impatience.

[@Fultoncards]

Hi William. Thanks for your feedback. A little bit of intel, if you are curious to read (a full paragraph, after muting my voice). My vids are around 10 mins. This vid was very *intentionally* double as it is a depleted product about the history of an O6 team, posted on a Sunday (as was advertised on my community page). I made a point of doing a considerable edit, even scouring for deep-cut soul music beds. It was a ton of work. My vids are educational, generally about odds, rarely if ever gaming/gambling or instant gratification. My uploads are equally all about enthusiasm and intensity. I do receive a comment like yours once or twice a year. Still, for each 1,000 views I receive half a thumbs down. If you watch my release day breaks, they will receive 2,000 views and most often 100% thumbs up. They provide a deep dive on product math, including for group breaks. They necessitate research and a machine gun of chattiness that transcends other breakers who "just open boxes," and fast. To me those breaks not only encourage gambling, but they are like a monosyllabic dog gulping down a treat without even tasting it. My YT community fosters thoughtful *discussion* not just coveting material possessions, like ostentatious bling. My breaks are less about the pulls and more about understanding average box outcomes, or broader economic or historical context. Invariably when someone directs hostility at me, I can guess it is their very *first* comment on my channel. Plus often they too have a channel, but it doesn't garner 100 views. Which is fine. The algos push what they push. Whether I do or don't then write a detailed response, as a good communicator, they then give my future vids thumbs down for a month, until they burn themselves out and aim their frustration elsewhere on social media. I don't mind either way, as social media is about engagement. This to say, I appreciate your comment. But, I'm not sure how it relates to the fundamental nature of my channels, which is a marathon never a race. If it's not for you, you do you.
