Summer Pack Update!

       It's summer, which means that every hockey fan is waiting for October. However, the card store is still open, friends are available for trading, and so I have a summer pack update. I got a couple packs of 12-13 Between the Pipes, some 11-12 Score, a few good rookies and first-season cards, and some legends. Here we go:

12-13 BETWEEN THE PIPES

Let's start this update with a bang: I pulled an Authentic Goaliegraph: Decades 1970s Gilles Meloche!

That's one of my first auto pulls from a pack. I also got a Decades 1960s and 40s Roger Crozier and Turk Broda. An insert that I got was a Record breakers Sam LoPresti. And, of course, I got two expired "He Shoots, He Saves" redemption cards.

 11-12 SCORE

The only 11-12 Score cards I received were three great reminders of the Canucks' 2011 playoff run.

I got one from each series, barring the finals, of course. A playoff highlight of Alexandre Burrows and Ryan Kesler, and a Playoff Heroes Roberto Luongo.

ROOKIES AND FIRST SEASONS

 Left to right, top to bottom:

05-06 UD Rookie Report Ryan Miller: A nice almost rookie of the Canucks' current goalie, but unfortunately, getting a Rookie Report card doesn't actually mean it's a rookie.

14-15 OPC Frederik Andersen: A first season card of a guy with an amazing mask.

11-12 UD Victory Rookie Cam Talbot: The Oilers hoping that he can do something in terms of goaltending.

05-06 Fleer Ultra Ryan Kesler: Both Keslers I've gotten this summer have been pretty good.

06-07 Upper Deck Alexander Steen: A nice first season card of Steen.

LEGENDS

Left to right, top to bottom:

14-15 Artifacts Brad Park: A severely underrated defenseman: Runner-up for the Norris 6 times.

12-3 Score The Franchise Johnny Bucyk: the second of 2 Bruins legends I've gotten this summer.

08-09 UD NHCD Hockey Heroes Don Cherry: You could count this as a third Bruins legend, I suppose.

14-15 Artifacts Doug Harvey: The Bobby Orr before Bobby Orr.

One more card of interest was a 13-14 SP Authentic Authentic Moments Nazem Kadri.

A nice card, and cool that it features Nassau Coliseum.
