Cards On Ice

ITG has posted some more info about this set on their web page.  Check it out here.  Lots of good cards previewed here.  Following on the heels of 1972:  The Year in Hockey, boxes will only have 18 packs instead of 24.  The odds are a bit improved – averages say you should hit 2 [...]

The Beckett Blog has the goods on these cards. H&P is scheduled for a January release, and the cards look amazing this year!
This year’s product calls for a 150 card base set, which I believe is 50 cards bigger than in past years, so we can look forward to that.  I posted a scan of [...]

Dual Autographs

You read that right – a Pro-Set pack break.  I worked out a deal with Captain Canuck over at Waxaholic to swap some doubles for our McDonalds base sets.  He included a bonus in the envelope – a pack of 90/91 Score (to be posted later) and a jumbo pack of 92/93 Pro-Set.

First off, I [...]

Jordan Eberle currently suits up for the Regina Pats of the Western Hockey League, but he was very close to starting the season one province over and a couple leagues up the ladder.  Eberle was the Edmonton Oilers first round pick (22nd overall) in the 2008 NHL Entry Draft.  Before last Christmas, Eberle was big [...]
