I hate hockey , but those cards are sweet looking!

[Admin]

I like the designs of the cards. Heck even the redempions have a nice look to them. Plus that trio patch with 3 colors on two parts of the jersey is great looking.

[BHELSER1981]

Great looking set! Nice mixture of new technology with some old-school feel in there too!

[hockeyrules555]

Nice looking cards, plus love the patch

[-----]

Sweet box Bryan! Great hit on the MacInnis auto (he doesn't sign a lot), and that triple USA patch is just awesome. Artifacts is always one of my favorite products, and this year is gonna be no different. I'll see if I can find out about the Habs redemption. If it's Price, then you got a great card there, too.

[Bryan_Mc]

yessir, i believe that is carey price!
