This is a niche set that's all about the guy wearing the big C, both past and present. Limited to 3000 boxes and at about $105 a box, you get 5 base cards, and 5 Autos/GU cards. The big pulls from this set are GU 'C' patch cards, basically they took the C patch, cut it in half and put it on two cards. So the hook is to try and get both cards to complete the C.
Let's see what I got...
The base cards. Minimalist but they have a nice hatched foil that gives them some pop.
Milt Schmidt, Doug Harvey, Phil Esposito, Red Kelly and a Rod Langway Gold Parallel.
Silver Version Auto's - Yvan Cournoyer & Rob Blake. One of ITG's great strengths is to produce sticker autos that's are blatantly obvious.
How's this for shooting fish in a barrel, two Silver Version Jersey Cards, both Mark Messier. One from his time with the Oilers, and one with the Canucks (yay!). Both these swatches were busting out of the card, its a nice chunk of material they used.
Gold Version Franchise Captains 3 Jersey card -Blackhawks' Stan Mikita, Chris Chelios, Tony Amonte
I really like these cards so I have another box on the way. For a company that doesn't have a deal with the NHL or NHLPA, In The Game do some great cards. If Upper Deck does go tits up I really hope and official license heads ITG's way. They are a Canadian company afterall!
