Could someone please tell me what a good box of hockey cards would be? I prefer Upper deck, but I have been out of the loop for about 10 years now. Please give me some suggestions and why you feel that is the set to go with. Thanks.

Yes, they stopped producing them, because of the shortprinted rookies.DaveG said:Did they stop producing full sets or is there a way to order them off of the internet anywhere?
DaveG said:interesting stuff snowman. Now I've been out of collecting for a few years but I'm thinking of trying to buy a full set of upper deck cards. Only problem there is that I haven't been able to find anywhere that has one. Did they stop producing full sets or is there a way to order them off of the internet anywhere?

oh trust me man, I still buy packs even if I do buy a whole set for that very reason.TheSnowman said:90% of the fun of cards is opening the packs.
If you buy a set, you don't get any game used, no autos, no patches, no 1/1s, nothing.

fun of it and mostly to have an heirloom (sp) to pass down to be honest.TheSnowman said:Are you looking to buy a set for investment purposes? Or just for the fun of it?

SP Authentic hockey is good value
Artifacts from this year are around 10 a pack but u get quite a few hits per box
Black Diamond is a fun one, i especially like the different Diamond variations.
Stay away from MVP, Power Play and Victory
Mr Bugg said:Re: Lebda. I'm actually a big fan of these kinds of cards. I get this weird inkling of joy whenever I pull a Neil Little or a Billy Tibbets or a Ryan Bayda. I like the diversity they bring to a set and I'd love to see more of them. This obviously isn't the opinion of most fans, and some want to get rid of them completely, but I think that would be tragic. People who buy in boxes know how boring it can be to pull Sundin, Sundin, Sakic, Forsberg, etc., one after another. Everyone has those and you see them year after year. But it's fun to break up the monotony with the card of a minor leaguer, especially if it makes you go "WHO?". Besides, who keeps those around?
Oh, and if you really hate them, and never want to see it again, please mail your unwanted cards to:
44 Lister Centre
Room 639
Edmonton, AB
T6G-1H9
I'll give them a good home!
Thanks. I think I'll keep it though.Porn* said:ANd congrats on the crosby Hedburg sell it now...

I know.TheSnowman* said:Sell it now, then buy it back in the offseason if you really want one. The base UD RC isn't going to hold much value once the really good Crosby RCs come out.
