Giant Tiger is a discount store in Canada, and in a recent trip there, I noticed these on the shelves:
They're just like the ones that I'd found either direct from the company, and at 7-11 stores as well. Gotta try a couple!
This was definitely the least interesting of the two, but I'll get to the other one later. While I didn't find a card within worthy of the snap holder, it still allowed another one to move from a top loader and the ability to use the top loader for a future outgoing mail.
As expected, the HOFer is an early 90s base entry. Karlsson has got to be a shoo-in for this repack to eventually contain a second Hall of Famer.
The Canadian pack was the best of the bunch, even if 12-13 was the most recent card of the three. The Grant Fuhr has a high-end feel to it even if Parkhurst Champions was more lower-middle range. And while Eric Nystrom in 2015 truly had the best glove card ever, Louie DeBrusk's entry in the genre is pretty nice as well.
The Chandler Stephenson is from 23-24 Metal Universe if you're looking to blame a set for being horrible to scan. Martin Brodeur still wasn't cemented into net in New Jersey yet in the 92-93, which explains why Craig Billington made the ASG that year in Devils' gear. And it is an Erik Karlsson hot repack! Even if it is the still lamentable 21-22 release year.
I finally saw a Sens representation in the final repacked pack. A couple nice photos accompany it as well.
Slightly below average on the whole, especially with the most interesting cards confined to a single portion.
But there you have it!

Fun stuff. I am in our Giant Tiger occasionally as there is a Canada Post parcel pick up in there. I have not seen these yet so I will have to keep an eye out. Toy department?
