star weekend looking forward to the start of the olympics this weekend alongside the nhl skills challenge tonight and the all star game saturday afternoon while i don t have autographs of current all stars in my small hockey card collection i do have a few from one of favorite players from my childhood john leclair it s been years now but i sent an autograph request through the mail to the former flyers left winger a 5x all star leclair was a part of my favorite team from the 90s forming a fearsome front line with eric lindros and mikael renberg back then my favorite way to enjoy the team was through playing nhl on the playstation specifically nhl 97 and 99 i remember being excited because lindros was on the cover i m definitely not anywhere close to fluent on hockey cards from that period even though i know some followed suit with basketball cards from the pacific brand weren t a thing in basketball though so this design isn t a familiar one for me this one reminds me of a topps gallery type design i ve now shown off my only hockey cards that are pre 2016 that aren t predators happy to have these autographs in my collection definitely fond memories of those flyers teams and firing in goal after goal with leclair and lindros on the playstation often playing against my dad s penguins hope everyone enjoys the all star weekend posted by cardstacks at 9 02 pm 2 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels all star eric lindros flyers john leclair philadelphia flyers wednesday february 2 2022 fire on ice my son and i are enjoying hockey in many forms these days between opening a few hockey blaster boxes watching hockey games on espn and going to a minor league hockey game for the first time since the pandemic started we ve got hockey activity around our house just about on a daily basis he s all about the sharks but he ll watch just about any game on tv he doesn t know it s coming but he s going to lose his mind over the nhl all star festivities this weekend coinciding with the start of the winter olympics even though nhl players aren t in the olympics we ll be watching hockey i m sure meanwhile i m soaking up hockey card content and adding cards to my predators want list while i ve tried to hold off on making too many purchases i did make an initial purchase after seeing a parallel version of this set on twitter the parallel version i saw was shinier and serial numbered but i m happy with this rookie year card of the top scorer on the predators filip forsberg it wouldn t scan well so i took photos in my light box a rookie year forsberg in a set like this i couldn t pass up when i saw they were a very reasonable price one thing i noticed and i am not up to speed on panini s history with a hockey card license is the dual class wording on the rookie card logo does this indicate multiple rookie classes in a single year s set i googled and couldn t find information on it was this an attempt by panini to introduce a rookie card logo in hockey info on this would be appreciated same image used on the front and back of the card but you get to see a faint background forsberg s been my favorite predator to watch since i started following the team he hit the 200 goal mark just recently and is on a tear right now on fire you might say he s in the final year of his contract and while he s sure to get a big contract surely he ll be back in nashville in modern card collecting i am drawn to sets that are a throwback to a prior set the fire on ice name was used for leaf insert sets in the mid 90s the 1997 98 version being my favorite so there you have it my first purchase for the predators collection many more to come i m sure posted by cardstacks at 7 18 pm 4 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels 2013 14 select filip forsberg fire on ice hockey inserts nashville predators sunday january 30 2022 90s collecting flashback opening a 2020 21 skybox metal universe blaster while i know fleer created hockey metal universe sets in the second half of the 90s my exposure to the metal brand came through basketball cards precious metal gems are one of the most sought after parallel sets out there i don t own any myself and maybe i never will with the card market surge over the last few years even lesser known players have pmgs selling for hundreds of dollars while i may never own one if i have a chance to open some packs that flash me back to my childhood collecting i m going to do it enter skybox metal universe hockey while the skybox metal universe retail offering doesn t provide the chance at pmgs it does allow for a reasonable way to find some awesome inserts like intimidation nation 1997 98 retro cards and 1997 98 skybox premium prospects and a slim chance at finding a jambalaya or platinum portraits insert the brand and inserts alone are enough to warrant the price of a blaster in this 90s kid s opinion i know you are all wondering what predators came out of his blaster three predator cards in the first two packs and once again i m hooked one of them being a 1997 98 retro design these scan terribly as i expected true to the original metal universe sets these cards are easily dented and are definitely condition sensitive not the best cards for my 5 year old son to be handling if we are about condition but this hobby is for him too the photo i took of the josi 1997 98 is not much better but this is honestly the 1 card i was hoping for out of this box and in pack 2 there it was even when it s a fairly common card it s always satisfying to pull a card of a player you actively collect i ve still got a few predators wants from this set including some tough parallels but i can cross off these three at least the other 1997 98 was auston matthews another solid pull i m probably done going after the 1997 98 since there aren t any other predators and 50 cards seems like an ambitious insert set to chase after right out of the gate the purple spectrum parallel of josi will go on the want list though i m still trying to figure out how to get good photos of cards using a light box i picked up it s a work in progress for sure the blue spectrum parallels scan much better than the base cards the backgrounds really stand out in these scans the byram rookie seems like a pretty good pull the 4th overall pick in 2019 i m learning about these players as i go but a rookie parallel is always good and the avalanche are having a great season i opened one of these parallels in each pack the net deposits are inserted in 1 6 retail packs awesome set and awesome player to pull really appreciate the spiraling puck design maybe if there s another iteration of this insert set it could include an image of the net somewhere there s that net i was talking about that s a lot of deposits would be a good box for a leafs fan a rookie insert set with a skybox premium design from 1997 98 and again the 90s throwbacks are excellent the prospects are inserted into 1 4 blaster packs i m sure the star rubies versions of these look stellar in person the toughest pull in this box at 1 25 a toews hardware insert it s hard to tell from the scan but the card is translucent how sick is this throwback to the late 90s intimidation nation baseball and basketball sets and i love it this was the insert i was most excited to pull with realistic odds and it didn t disappoint quick is a name i recognize too which makes this one of the top pulls in the box what didn t i see in this blaster i didn t find any purple parallels d out of 199 no jambalaya or platinum portraits as expected no alloyance or alon inserts either but neither were necessarily expected to come out of a single blaster if this ends up being a yearly release it will be a must buy for me opening fleer skybox brands again count me in my interest in hockey cards after this box break is as high as it s ever been next step after these couple of breaks other than waiting for upper deck series 1 to arrive is not rush into purchases and really define what i want to try to pick up or trade for right now everything is new and shiny and when that wears off i want to be excited about the direction of my collection predators and otherwise that being said i ve added a handful of predators cards to my comc that i ll share in a future post so not off to the best start in that department so far i m sticking to inserts and parallels of featuring throwback set designs and looking into picking up some key rookies although the young guns aren t cheap posted by cardstacks at 5 00 pm no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels 2020 21 skybox metal universe auston matthews jonathan quick jusse sauros nashville predators roman josi sunday january 23 2022 hockey revisited opening a blaster of 2021 22 upper deck mvp back in 2017 i wrote a series of posts when i started following hockey and picked up my first packs of hockey cards and some bloggers were generous enough to send me a starter pack of predators cards to get my collection going well towards the end of 2017 i really stepped back from cards entirely but what i ve learned about this hobby is that long term it has staying power for me and it always comes back around the cards will always be there the people in the hobby will always be there and in 2022 now more than ever sports card content is everywhere and so my first foray into hockey cards in five years is a blaster box of 2021 22 upper deck mvp the blaster has 15 packs a great product if your idea of fun is busting a lot of packs the base cards have a mint color as part of the design with the image looking like ice is shooting up form the players skating it s a cool effect each card from the base set has an ice battles parallel and the short prints including rookies are blue my chosen team was the predators and i ve stuck with that although i ve followed them more loosely than i would like with young kids it s been hard to find time to watch a full game to be honest now that my oldest is five and he s showing interest in several sports including hockey it s become much easier to at least catch portions of a game these three are familiar names for me fiala being a former predator here s an example of one of the rookie cards from the set denisenko s only appeared in one panthers game but is getting plenty of time with the charlotte checkers of the ahl the zac jones is a rookie short print ice battles parallel zac jones i included because he s originally from richmond va which is where i grew up i figured that was rare for an nhl player to be from virginia and even less likely to be from richmond and sure enough with his nhl debut in april last year jones is the first player from richmond to play in the nhl so there you go maybe a reason to start a side player collection meier recently scored 5 goals in one game a feat i ve definitely never seen before in my brief time as a hockey fan and this happened in a game i happened to be watching on replay with my son he s a fan of the sharks logo and the jerseys as you can imagine the sharks are probably his top hockey team right now that could change any day but we ve enjoyed watching the sharks and that 5 goal performance was quite a treat i ve always been an insert guy going back to collecting basketball cards in the 90s in my childhood what i wasn t expecting out of this mvp blaster were inserts that make me want to look at the checklist and see who else i can grab the cracked ice effect especially coming out of cheap packs like this are something that would have hooked me as a child and i guess i m not much different today this 20th anniversary set reminds me of an insert that would have come out of mvp products in the late 90s early 2000s can t argue with a mackinnon card either a former number one overall pick i d like to pick up the josi from this set i d expect the gold parallel of a pred would look nice p k subban was a favorite of mine and i m sure many others from his time on the predators the predators traded him to the devils in 2019 and even though he s not at an all star level anymore he s still popular enough to be included in insert sets like these the before picture shows him wearing a red tie to the cmt music awards in 2018 before his time with the devils glad i pulled a player i appreciate from this set what would an mvp product be without silver scripts and gold scripts while big hits are pretty rare out of a box like
