Review: Score Hockey 2012-2013

We were pretty excited to see this box at our doorstep. The first 2012-2013 hockey product out on the market. Score for any product is the best bang for your buck!

First off, I would like to say thanks to the WONDERFUL people at Panini America for providing us with this box to review. Here are many places you can find Panini America: official site, blog, Twitter, and Facebook.

And as always...we will do some giveaways from this product!

Here is my review:

Box Design: Typical Score box design. Lets you know how many packs and cards per pack right on the front.

Pack Design: I like the pack design...like the Hoops we did the review of...the player jumps off the pack and grabs your attention.

Base Card: Even though there is a wide border, the action photos used in Score take away from how much border there is. The team emblem stands out as well. I like the base set it starts with a subset and ends with a subset. Reminds me of how cards used to be. The players are also put by team and teams are put by alphabetical order making searching for a player on a certain team much easier.

Rookie Cards: I like the hot rookies. They stand out in the set and you know its a rookie set.

Inserts: No glossy this year but they have a gold parallel instead per pack. Above is an example, its just two gold strips down the side of the Taylor Hall card. The other inserts are nice. Team Score brings back an old design to the new Score. Net Cam has some great angles and photography. The inserts look nice overall.

Autographs: For the second straight time, we pulled an auto from a box of Score. Check out our Score Football 2012 review for the first one.  Justin Abdelkader of the Red Wings was our hit.  Nice auto and design on these.

Memorablila: N/A


Overall: A good amount of rookies, usually one per pack on average, inserts, chance for autographs NO doubles,  and there is no complaint from this blogger on Score Hockey. You get a lot of cards and value for a little bit of money.
