  1. What will you do with all that cards? will you give it away to fans who follows your social network? hope you can give me some for we dont have any hockey cards selling here in Philippines.

  2. SWEET! Some great looking cards here? When do these hit the street? Also, are those cards with the graffiti (Ennis, Skinner) part of an insert set? If so, what is that one… they look pretty cool.

  3. Seriously, more of the Slapshot stuff?? Wasn’t it bad enough you [messed up] last year’s Limited with that?? I was 10 shades of mad when I pulled a Hanson auto from the first pack, I never went back. Just one more way to water down a product if you ask me..
