Time to show off what's in the other side of the box.
54 - John Scott
91 - Jonathan Toews - Who says you need a great action shot for it to be a great card? You can have an awesome card with the player just standing still. Focus. Intensity. Call it what you wish, but the look on Toews' face is spectacular.
77 - Jeff Skinner - A fun photo of a Kitchener Rangers alumni. Although I still think of Steve Keirn every time I hear his name.
15 - Bryan Allen
99 - Michael Frolik - Making a grand entrance before the game, or a grand exit after the game? Either way, it is yet another unique photo in the set.
29 - Gregory Campbell
44 - Nathan Gerbe
192 - Jeff Petry - Is Popeye checking out Petry's hinder? If so, he likes what he sees!
178 - Patrick Eaves
131 - Jack Johnson
147 - Kari Lehtonen - They did a similar skating through the star card last year with Kari's teammate in Richard Bachman. Although that one was smoke only as opposed to a light show as well.
214 - Jack Skille
113 - Semyon Varlamov
158 - Ray Whitney
181 - Jordan Eberle
272 - Shea Weber
295 - Adam Larsson
309 - Matt Moulson
233 - Kyle Clifford
317 - Evgeni Nabokov
247 - Josh Harding
305 - Henrik Tallinder
371 - Wayne Simmonds (Black parallel) - BAM! That's the second case hit in the same box! Great! This one is far closer to a keeper status than the Bickell. That's primarily because I really like how the border works with the Flyers colours.
638 - Leo Komarov (Gold)
595 - Christian Thomas (Gold)
572 - Phoenix Leaders
553 - Buffalo Leaders
584 - Vincent LeCavalier (Season Highlights)
644 - Scott Laughton
601 - Darcy Kuemper
615 - Dami Vatanen
631 - Eric Gryba - One of 4 Sens rookie cards among the Hot Rookies. You might recall Gryba as the license number on that truck that ran over Lars Eller during the first round of the playoffs.
311 - Josh Bailey (Gold)
235 - Zach Parise (Gold)
319 - Brad Boyes (Gold)
249 - Torrey Mitchell (Gold)
264 - Ryan White (Gold)
283 - Colin Wilson (Gold). Much like with the Simmonds card, this is another example of the alternate border working with team colours.
369 - Maxime Talbot
436 - Thomas Greiss - Even with a front photograph, you can still see whatever creature that is on the side of Greiss' mask.
335 - Dan Girardi
380 - Simon Gagne
403 - Kris Letang
417 - Joe Thornton
341 - Taylor Pyatt
467 - Nate Thompson
525 - Joel Ward
464 - Teddy Purcell
480 - Clarke MacArthur
547 - Kyle Wellwood
446 - Patrik Berglund
491 - Matt Frattin
Not too much memorable in this pack outside of the great parallel pull. It was the appearance of my second case hit in the same box that made me think I might have pulled a hot box this time around.
reds are 2-3 per hobby box, but get replaced by any blacks.
ReplyDeleteThat Frolik is from the first home game of the season. The Hawks roll out a red carpet and the players walk in, flanked by the fans on both sides.

And if you are looking to lose the Bickell, I can think of no better place than in my mailbox.
