If you have two of the same repacks with the same # of cards, why not compare the two?
These were the two at the front of the pegs at Dollarama, so these will be the ones.
To look at the opening cards, neither one is spectacular. Even if the team is from Jersey, having that written across the front of the actual jersey looks ridiculous. It makes it look the player is so dumb they need to have their stuff labeled for them. But it is against a border heavy insert set that makes the Portraits set look interesting. Boring all around, but I'll give it to the Bratt for not being Honor Roll.
I do love the photo variety from the Canvas insert sets, but it is up against a Senators entry. That will even this one up. And the photo is pretty generic on Josi's anyhow.
Shininess! Brayden Point's card comes from one of the Tim Hortons releases, while On Tour was a set that saluted the specified team's road games throughout the season in question. The bilingualism of the Timmies card is the deciding factor to defeat an interesting concept for a card - dedicated to those whose favourite team isn't the hometown entry.
Neither one really hits a sweet spot of my collection. I guess I'll pick the Keller, since that's less readily available through COMC and e-pack.
The battle is already over, but the rout ends with my picking the Bowen Byram here. It was mainly because the Suzuki was a dupe (there's still 3 I need for the base set of this), but I also find the back write-up interesting.
That's since I rarely see non NHL facts back there. As for Preziuso, after finishing in the CHL, he'd play University hockey with Alberta, and spent last season in Britain.
