Select is a really nice product, I hope you guys do well with it.

Select is really nice. I bought a Target blaster earlier today, inspired by Boinks' hit, and pulled a Claude Giroux auto/jersey out of 25. Beautiful card, with a very clean design for the set.

And, a Pavel Datsyuk refractor in the other pack! (go wings)

^^ Ditto! Hope everyone got something nice for the season. I bought 2 blasters of Select yesterday! I got... a Fire of Ice insert and a base Prizm. I guess that is like getting coal :( :iamafag:

Had a small free Winter Classic haul yesterday in Ann Arbor and throughout the week in Detroit.

Upper Deck gave away four-card packs of a 20-card Winter Classic set (10 Wings, 10 Leafs, two rookies per team). I ended up chatting with the UD guys, and got 19 cards out of 20, all but JVR. Lots of doubles that will be going to family and friends. Included were three autographs of Danny DeKeyser, Petr Mrazek, and Morgan Rielly, which will end up being a pain to track down.

Panini was giving out sticker sheets with three Wings and three Leafs, got some of those too.

In Detroit, there were Red Wings alums signing free autographs every day, which was awesome. Met Nick Lidstrom and Ted Lindsay on Friday, Igor Larionov and Dino Ciccarelli on Saturday, and every other Wings lifer on Saturday and Sunday.

Replacing Kris Draper Certified Numbers jsy/auto /25 with Keith Yandle Dominion Peerless Patches /40 - So much better a replacement, gently caress Kris Draper.

Kris Draper is the man. He was signing autographs and hanging out in the Molson tent during Canada/Czech Republic. Absolutely awesome to talk Team Canada with an awesome man of the people (who was part of the first Canadian team to win World Juniors on Canadian soil, and who won the tournament twice).

Titanium may not be available in hobby shops in the US...but it's available in retail? Stopped in at Walmart looking for Prizm and noticed a silver Panini Titanium tin. I thought it might be something to do with the basketball version, but nope, hockey. It comes in one silver tin (about the size of a Series 1 tin), with a Jumbo card and one pack of 30 cards. I got a Dougie Hamilton Jumbo, Matt Irwin rookie /299, Tuuka Rask Red /199, and Drew Stafford Game Worn Gear. Weird strategy, though I guess it falls in line with the Select blasters.

This is a card of Stevie Y as the GM of the Lightning, there's another one out there. I believe it's a Scratching the Surface in 12-13 Rookie Anthology.

Officially, he's the GM of the Lightning on that card, but the photo is from the Wings game against Vancouver when Stevie was honored for making the HHOF. You can see the jerseys of guys on the bench in the background, along with Yzerman's awkward expression.

Went to visit my brother and his fiancee for her birthday. On the way, stopped into Target looking for deals. In the repacks, 2 of the boxes had a pack of old Trilogy in them, so I bought both. There was also 1 last tin of Titanium. I waffled a bit but bough it because it was probably my only chance to get it. Trilogy had a jersey card in each, so that was cool. Opened the Titanium last, jumbo card was Nathan MacKinnon, badass right? No fat cards in the pack so I figured I'd just get a couple rookies and I was right. First was a Freddie Andersen /299, pretty cool dude. Slide him off and I just sit there with this looking back at me:




What. The. Ffffffffffff :aaaaa:

How the hell did this get into a loving retail tin? I don't even know what to price it at if I do sell it, there are no comparable items. Is this as big a hit as I think it is or did his lovely play kill the value? This is by far the biggest hit I have gotten out of retail and really close to my biggest hit ever (top 5). Pretty loving happy right now.

I think that's a retail exclusive parallel, because it's not a foil card. Realistically, it's almost a /1 or /5 card, because how much of the Titanium retail print run is getting opened up, you know?

Crown Royale's silhouettes have been very cool to see come out. Looking at some nice Red Wings rookie patches in that set, along with the five Cup champion Wings jerseys.

Those two sets fit into my two relative PC's for the Wings - auto/patches with the logo, and anything Cup related.

Yeah from what I've seen Playbook usually has those 2 one-color jersey swatches/autographs to /199. I know patches are supposed to be rarer and all, they just seem incredibly limited. Contenders comes out this month, anyway.

Edit: can anyone recommend a case for the prime ties card? I have no idea what it will fit in. Ashe said there are some but I wouldn't even know where to begin looking for them, my local shop doesn't carry anything big enough I know that.

Honestly, the only thing I would suggest would be one of those two-piece slider boxes.

Panini put up a gallery of 13-14 Contenders and daaaaamn :stare:

I'd love to get ahold of some of that but it is loving expensive. If we did it in a break we'd need to price it at like $120. Maybe it will go down when Panini loses the license. But that 8x auto with the old school goalies including Tretiak? :gizz:

Just to put it out there, I'm going to do pretty much the master set of 13-14 Contenders. It'll be a long project, but I always loved Contenders, put the first two sets together, and the Winter Classic auto set is from the greatest possible matchup for me (and I did The Great Outdoors set in 11-12).

So excited for this week.

Target has $20 packs of Contenders where you get 24 cards and two autographs in each pack. Looking at their other products, seems like Panini has backed off of doing packs for these blaster boxes and instead gives you one cellophane pack with everything inside.

I pulled autographs of Matt Konan (PHI) and Derek Grant (OTT) so :confuoot: Grant is at least a retail-exclusive short print. No idea if you can pull bigger names or sets from those boxes. Although retail-only may make set-building hell.

As someone who has put the Contenders sets together and will do so this year....Panini has presented a wonderful challenge that may take years, but they don't have a license, so I've got time.

i am standing by the fact they made this set two years ago. how do you not have updated teams for spezza when he was traded for on july 1st?

The teams pictured match whatever the jersey piece is. That's why the All-Star cards are matched to a specific ASG and not the team or something.

Among other things, Minnesota hardly ever has game-worn jersey cards.

But you weren't kidding about the screen printing, Reebok really did make the patches for these one layer with the design included in that. I've said it before and I'll say it again, gently caress Reebok for everything they've done to jerseys since they launched the Edge program.
