  1. Starting 6 look real nice…Black as well…….One that I am real excited about and my friend will go nuts as well as many others if I pull one….ooooooo….ahhhhhhh……Alyssa Milano I just hope she is pictured in Hab’s apparel ……….

  2. On a side note you should be able to get pic’s of Milano in NHL teams apparel as she has a fashionable clothing line “Touch” what would be cool is having her pictured with all NHL teams apparel that way we could chase her card from our choice team…just a thought

  3. Love the pinnacle brand. Very nice stuff. Fans of the game are really nice inclusions. Especially Milano! You guys should do this brand for football also!!! That would be sweet!!

  4. Cards look great… Can’t wait to find some of the Pinnacle Black and Canvas Creations. Though hopefully the Ovie card here is just a concent and not the player image… the image is the same as last years Chemistry on Canvas, just blown up to crop out Backstrom. Either way, they still look great.

  5. I pulled a Sidney Crosby Black, the picture you have on this blog is not the same as the one I pulled? Do they change the pictures before actual production?

    Thanks, I bought a 2011-12 Pinnacle Hockey Hobby Box
