2017 Adventures in Repacks - Part 22 - Once, Twice, Three Times a Repack

A trio of $1 hanger bags from the Dollarama. And they all had cards from 16-17 UD flagship as one of the visible cards.

Repack #1:
2016 UD - Brandon Sutter - A visible 2/14 card! I was fairly certain I had this card already, but I didn't notice it in the binder when I searched. This is my 55th card of his in that collection.
1990 Bowman - Mike Bullard
1993 Parkhurst - Oleg Tverdovski (sic)
1991 Score - Trevor Kidd
1992 UD - Al MacInnis - A Rangers alum!
2000 Ovation - Tim Connolly
2004 UD All-World - Thomas Steen - The set from the lost season. If you couldn't do NHL cards, why not European cards? The stats on the back, naturally, are entirely from his NHL career.
1990 Topps - Zarley Zalapski
1990 Score - Scott Stevens - And a teammate of Al's from the Memorial Cup winners.
1990 UD - Randy Ladoceur
1992 Parkhurst - Cam Neely - A card of one of my favourite players is always welcome.
1990 UD - Kip Miller
1991 Score - Alexei Kasatonov
1991 7IS - Chris Crombie
2011 Heroes and Prospects - Zack Kassian - And a minor league card ends it.

3 cards for my PCs (although I think that Stevens is a dupe), and Cam Neely. An efficient start.

Repack #2:
2016 UD - Steven Stamkos - I was more interested in the card on the back, to be honest.
1990 Bowman - Carey Wilson
1991 OPC - Bob Carpenter
1995 Parkhurst - Jiri Slegr - The Oilers logo and colours work really nicely in the background with this design.
1991 UD - Tomas Forslund
1991 7IS - David Matsos
1991 UD - Ray Sheppard
2004 Heroes and Prospects - Bryan Bickell - I've found a lot of these in repack land lately. At least it is still rarer than 1990 Bowman.
2007 ICE - Alex Tanguay
1990 Score - Brent Ashton
1993 Score - Steve Konroyd
1990 Bowman - Doug Wilson
1993 Leaf - Todd Ewen - Must highlight card back of 1993 Leaf..
1995 Parkhurst - Ron Francis - Pens colours are less subtle than Oilers one in this design.
1991 7IS - Darren Hurley
2010 H&P - Alex Stalock - This was the reason I opted for this one - a mask binder card and a really great logo of the former Worcester Sharks.

16 cards instead of 15! WOO-HOO!

And the final repack, grabbed because it was on top.

Repack #3:
2016 UD - Louis Domingue - A nice little start with a mask binder card.
1990 Bowman - Jeff Norton
1991 Platinum - Alex Godynyuk
1990 Bowman - John Ogrodnick - 2 packs with 2 1990 Bowman. I hope that doesn't become a trend in future repacks.
1995 Parkhurst - Sergei Zubov - But if leads to more '95 Parkhurst, that's an acceptable trade-off.
2004 H&P - David Shantz - A nice mask binder card. Although drafted in the 2nd round by the Panthers, he never reached the NHL.
2005 Ultra - Patrik Stefan - Shouldn't this show the puck skipping past him with someone taking it end-to-end for a goal?
1990 Topps - Jeff Reese
1990 Score - Paul Ranheim - That's a pure early 90s rinkside look. Suit. Neon green cap.
1990 UD - Tommy Albelin
1991 Score - Dave Ellett
1991 OPC - Lev Berdichevski
1996 Donruss - Adam Oates
1991 7IS - James Storr - Pre-Jamie days.
2014 OPC - Tom Gilbert - A blah ending.

Lots of mask binder candidates in the pack.

And there you have $3 worth of repacks.

  1. I don't collect hockey but I love posts like this. When visiting the USA or Canada I've picked up a couple of baseball card repacks occasionally and you never quite know what or who is going to drop out. This kind of blog post captures that feeling for me.
