2024 Adventures in Repacks - Part 27 - No Need to Order In


 I don't need to order these in, since they're still available at the 7/11 I'm sometimes at.

I always just grab whatever is on top, and that's pretty easy to do with this beauty as the visible.card.

Here's the first group of cards. Cory Stillman may not have been thought of on par with "The Next One" but the start of his career still had a nice amount of hype to it. Patrice Rene is sporting a Trois-Rivieres Draveurs jersey, and it looks like one that would be used by a crime procedural during an episode surrounding a hockey-themed murder. So generic. But as I approach the hit - a new Sens card for me! WOO-HOO!
The hit was perfectly in the middle. I had absolutely no memories of Tallackson, but he managed 20 games over 4 seasons. At least he wasn't a one-game wonder, but that should have given UD more time too get a photo where his eyes have not been knocked all wonky.
The second batch of cards. The Pro Set was one of the hockey history ones in '91, this one saluting early ice resurfacing. The Don MacLean is also a triple diamond, although I have no idea how rare those were at the time. 
And your finale.

An interesting start, but the second half really lagged. Still a fun little repack, though!

  1. Nice Tallackon hit! He wasn't the best Devil in that set (Parise) but still a nice card, especially for a repack.
