2025 Adventures in Repacks - Part 27 - Time for Hockey

 Yup. Still catching up on repacks, although this pair has only in been in my possession for about a month compared to the years that baseball one was around for.

All cardboard content in repack #1.
Nothing too interesting in the first scanner bed worth of Parkhurst - although David Bruce is a Kitchener Rangers alum to at least add something to a PC, potentially.
But the last ones provide a lot more interest. A big name in Roy, and an interesting photo. That's Corey Millen in the background celebrating a Kings goal, not the Bruins player in the front. Find interesting stuff where you can!
The rookie in that particular repack generally turns out to be some forgotten guy from the 90s that only played a handful of games. Here. it's a guy who is still in the league and from one of the more out there sets there was. He was traded to the Flyers as part of the Joel Farabee deal this past season. Raanta has had nice base cards in the past, and here's another one of them.
A player doing silly stuff with the stick and puck and having it make its way to the base card will always improve a grouping of cards. Outside of that, not that much of note in this group.
Hall of Fame content and a later card from the decade slipping in there is enough to make things at least somewhat more noteworthy than the usual.
The contents of the second repack. More shipping supplies in this one - and a superstar.
And Draisaitl definitely counts as a superstar. More Metal Universe, although the background is less odd here than with the appearance in the first pack. The defunct team mojo drifts down into the minors with the Belleville Bulls showing up. Belleville is now home to the Senators AHL affiliate.
Again, the 90s pack isn't that bad. A memorable overhead photo and a Rangers alum - even though the Coffey was a dupe.
Timmies card in the finale! And I guess that would be a second repack in the repack that would qualify as having a superstar included. 

All I ask for is svme keepers from these, and I got some!

There you have it!
