HOLY FUCK

I had zero desire to start collecting cards until a few months ago and since then I've been picking up some upper deck hockey cards. I've picked up a blaster box per series and pretty much just want to get some cards of players I like so I can stick them in top loaders and put stickers all over them. So far I'm enjoying the weird ones that pop up every now and then, like the UD portrait series where they put the players in costumes and there's a gold frame around them :lol:

...this still probably sounds like I'm rationalizing the beginning of an addiction, doesn't it?

If you're at one blaster per series, you're doing pretty ok!

Post pictures of your favorite(s).

Okay that's good to hear. I haven't checked out my local card shops where I live yet but nobody cares about hockey where I am so we'll see how that goes.

Here are a few favorites so far, phone posting so sorry if they show up weird:

Got this in one of my first packs before he died. It was my first Canvas one and I think it's a really cool shot. :smith:



David Pastrnak destroying a goalie I don't like with sparkles (good)



Favorite player! I think im actively going to try to find his cards on their own, someone told me about COMC so I'll probably start there.

Also I don't have this one and can't remember enough details to find it but there was a Kirill Kaprizov card where if you titled it to a certain angle a waterfall would show up on him? That's the kind of weird poo poo I like, how would someone even come up with that.

Thinking about how much this must've cost makes me feel light-headed but it's pretty cool nonetheless

Okay! Besides my two player collections I've decided to collect the Upper Deck Portrait cards starting with the 2023-2024 ones because they're dorky as gently caress and I love them







:haw:
