2026 Adventures in Repacks - Part 15 - More Giant Tiger Cards

 

Time for another one of these!

Your contents!
The promised HOFer usually turns out to be a junk wax era card, so differing from that norm is a good start. Also, two of the same player is less common that you'd think for a repack. That Koules is the closest he would get to a mainstream card.
A Kitchener Rangers alum starts the 5-card pack off. Amazingly, it is a need for the collection. I blame the fact is is 21-22, and that the parallels and inserts are cheaper at COMC. Acton has a rather unfortunate hairline to be commemorated on cardboard. Priority isn't a set you see much of in repacks, and Hutchinson gets a great photo for his. 
Both Cs and As, so this one lives up to its billing. The Hertl is far shinier in hand than in scan. 
I guess it is time for the MVP pack. Again, the Landeskog entry is a Rangers alum collection need. And it is probably for the same reasons mentioned in the first grouping of cards. Photos are as bland as can be for the base cards, but things really pick up with the Crosby insert. It may not be super valuable thanks to e-pack availability, but it still felt like a really special pull in a low end release.
Just base cards for the 2020s pack. Those two Colorado Avalanche cards aren't from the same release. Lehkonen is from Series 1 and Toews is from Series 2. That joins the pair of Dahlquists to provide more repack oddness.

That repack had more highs than lows, so it gets a very solid thumbs up.

There you have it!
