What better way to celebrate the game of hockey then with an amazing lineup of hockey games and some free hockey cards.  Upper Deck announced that they will once again be bringing back National Hockey Card Day in 2011. 

Every year Ultimate delivers the hits that collectors covet.  From autographed rookie cards (numbered to 99) to the amazing 1 of 1 NHL Shield Patch Cards, this series never disappoints.  Delivering 1 rookie card, 1 signature card, and 1 memorabilia card in every pack (on avg) the value is certainly...

Ask any collector and they will say that they are not big fans of redemptions.  Long wait times,  replacement cards, and the general hassle are the usual complaints.   Panini is making sure this is not the case with their 2010-11 Limited Hockey release. 

Upper Deck released the players that are included in the 2010-11 Artifacts Rookie Exchange and just like the 2009-10 Be-A-Player Rookie Exchange, all the big names are present. 

Upper Deck released their rookie exchange checklist for Be-A-Player and it is pretty stacked.  Names like Hall, Seguin, Eberle, Skinner, and Kadri are all waiting for those collectors lucky enough to have pulled one of the cards below.  These cards are numbered out of 99 and are should be sent out...

By far one of my favorite releases every year is In the Game’s Heroes and Prospects series.  It is full of amazing autograph and game used memorabilia cards from future and current stars.  What I love about this release is you dont have to break the bank to get cards with amazing pieces of memorabilia...

Upper Deck Series 1 was filled with some of the top rookies including Taylor Hall, Jordan Eberle, and Jeff Skinner, but collectors looking to complete their Young Gun collection will be excited by the upcoming Series 2 release.

ITG announced they are recalling UM-10 Ultimate Emblem of Antero Niittymaki card number 7298/7500.  This is another shining example of quality and pride in your products. 

After all the holiday shopping and parties are over, collectors can look to the release of another amazing series.  Panini America is set to release their 2010-11 Crown Royale Hockey January 5, 2011 and with one autograph or memorabilia card in each pack,  collectors better make sure they hold back...

SP Authentic and SP Game Used are my two favorite releases each year.  They have hard signed signatures, amazing swatches, are stocked with coveted rookies, and won’t break the bank.  This years 2010-11 SP Authentic Hockey looks to deliver more of the same.
