Mail Day! 1996-97 Score Sudden Death Lot

Received another five 96-97 Score Sudden Death cards in the mail to add to my collection; only three more to go until I finally complete the set and fulfill a childhood desire.

Looking through the cards I own and the ones I need from this insert set - Score did a pretty good job at selecting the top players in the league at the time.  Although I did notice the exclusion of Patrick Roy from the set.

2008-09 Upper Deck Legends Masterpieces Triple Pack Break

Had these three packs of 2008-09 Upper Deck Legends Masterpieces lying around, figured I would finally break them and post the results today.  As you can they're clearly marked retail so we might not see any big hits.  But nonetheless, these cards are possibly my favorite product to come out in recent years.

2011-12 Upper Deck Victory Box Break

By now I'm sure you're all familiar with the latest Upper Deck release of Victory.  I guess you can say I'm attempting to collect the complete 200 card base set, not entirely interested in the rookie sub-set although I wouldn't mind picking up the Cody Hodgson card.  Book value these cards may rack in as chump change but I find that the cards are fun and affordable.

The box brings us 11 packs, each pack containing 6 cards.  The rundown of the break is under the cut including all scans.

Henri Richard, Wendel Clark and Johnny Bower Send-offs

Had some time to spare this morning so I put together another four customs to send-off and hopefully have returned and signed as part of my TTM collection.  I've been watching a lot of the Legends of Hockey series lately so I did Henri Richard and Johnny Bower customs.  The Clark card came after watching the 1993 second round playoff series between the Leafs and Blues; and what a series it was.

And if you've noticed there's a fourth card in the photo; Pat Falloon.  For some odd reason, I was on a Falloon kick earlier in the week, reading about his career and what happened to him after the NHL - I even found myself digging out my Pat Falloon hockey cards!  So I decided to create a custom for him to have sent off and hopefully returned signed - but sadly I was unable to find a valid address for the guy.  I even tried sending a Facebook message to his mom (at least I think it was)!  She has yet to get back to me.

The reverse of the cards are underneath the cut.

2010-11 Upper Deck Series One 32 Card Break

Picked up a jumbo pack (32 cards) of 2010-11 Upper Deck Series One on the same day that I bought the Upper Deck blaster I posted a few days ago. Decided to try my hand at recording the pack rip instead of logging the break this time around. Hopefully the effects don't give you a headache.
