This year my purchases focused around modern stuff, many sealed items and graded cards from SwSh/SV were added in collection. Overall the warmest memory ( pun intended ) was this Heat Wave Arena opening. 
Before this I wasn’t aware it was possible to pull 2 good cards from same box, the same thing happened again later with Glory of Team Rocket. After watching some large opening videos it seems finding one in each case isn’t even guaranteed, sellers did amazing job shipping out the right products.
