E-packing

 

Today, I'm going through some of the cards I either acquired through e-pack, or acquired cheaply on COMC because of e-pack. It is really a Sisyphusean effort to try and clear out my COMC to-be-posted box.

Random Sens acquisition!

The Silver parallels out of e-pack might be a gimmicky addition to the flagship rainbows, but at least they've become more scannable over the past several seasons. Or at least less likely to make me feel guilty over having a dirty scanner.

Compendium in 2016-17 has, in retrospect, provided a nice opportunity to land some inexpensive rookie cards.

Jordan Szwarz only got 1 other Upper Deck NHL card, getting one and associated parallels in 2013-14 Ultimate. That's probably why I miss Compendium as an e-pack product - the deep checklist.

A Rookie might even get an interesting photo for their card. Spencer only got to enter the ice for 4 NHL games, but picked up 2 goals in those games.

I picked up one of these for a previous mailer to TMV, but I just had to get one for myself of Zach Hyman rocking the Heritage Classic jersey. There are also Flames options from that game, but it is incredibly bland in comparison.

A couple AHL cards. I traded for the Lyon on e-pack due to the mask he's wearing. Pennywise! Sadly, the Tim Curry version isn't on the other side of it. As for the Wolfpack card, I'm not sure. I probably pulled it in a pack and decided I like the logo.

The finale is a game-dated moments entry. While I'd rather have a picture of Alex Nedeljkovic firing the puck the length of the ice to complete his 2-point night, but his celebration was pretty memorable as well.

And shouldn't an interesting card make you happy?

But there you have it!
