These caught my eye at the Expo but with an approximate cost of $150CDN/pack and $750CDN/box, they were just out of my price range. On the weekend, I was lucky enough to win a pack on eBay for $78US. In The Game has rarely, if ever, let me down. So here we go. One pack. Three cards. Fingers crossed for something fun.
First card:
Joe Thornton - Ultimate Base Card - Silver /90
The base cards are quite dynamic. A nice change from recent years.
Second Card:
Alexei Cherepanov - New Millenium First Rounders - Silver /40 - Auto/Jersey(white)
A beautiful card, striking design, and an interesting signature. The recently deceased Cherepanov will always be remembered in hockey circles for his unfortunate death in Russia during a game a few months ago. His vast potential will never be known. I'm quite happy with this card.
Third Card:
Joe Sakic - Ultimate Stick Rack - Silver /24
Cool! My first Stick Rack card. To get one of a sure-thing HOF'er is even better. Unfortunately, the stick piece is non-descript. It looks like a long line of yellow-ish plastic/glue. Too bad he doesn't play with a wooden stick. Still, it's a nice addition to the collection.
