I'm a big fan. The cards have a nice gloss, great color, and a better than average selection of photographs. The backs are unexceptional but for this set I really don't care. Here are my favorites from the Original Six teams starting with my hometown team, the reigning Stanley Cup Champions. Note that they are mostly shots taken during the Finals. Like the Original Six playoff system, only one third of the available cards didn't make the cut.
Those really are some beautiful photographs on a pretty nice set in general. I might have to pursue some singles.
ReplyDeleteNice design. I agree, the photos are very well done/chosen. Some of them it looks like the photographer is on the ice with them. Marc Staal appears to just be sitting on his opponent, when I saw that one it made me laugh.
ReplyDeleteI say NHL leapfrog.
DeleteVery nice, I still hadn't seen a few of those. Love the Seidenberg especially.
ReplyDeleteI love how they used a shot of Marchand from below since he has Napoleon syndrome. And is an asshole in general.
ReplyDeleteMade me laugh!
