Seems like there's often a story behind hits like this. I've been really excited for Flawless since the rumors first leaked, and my LCS set aside a case for me (of the few they received) on release even though I was travelling and unable to pick it up right away. Finally got it and opened it about a week ago, and was really happy with the gorgeous cards and great auto selection ... no truly "big" hits, just a really solid overall case.
Today I needed to stop by the LCS for some supplies (lol), and as I was filling them in about how that case went, the owner mentions that a customer ended up not taking the case set aside for him, so if I wanted it he'd give me first crack (pun intended). I hemmed and hawed as I shopped, and finally couldn't resist ... and am SO glad I caved. A lopsided break for sure between the two boxes, but who cares :)! :)!
Briefcase 1: the Shearer is jersey #, and as a collector of legends autos, this was an awesome overall box ... even without the encased jaw-dropper that left me speechless.

Briefcase 2: highlights for me were the Howard auto/patch 01/15 (jersey #), and the nice Ranocchia patch (great PC hit)
