Upper Deck Is Trying To Hook ME!

Hockey.

It's one of those sports I no longer pay attention to, but feel like I should be because Upper Deck has been putting some great inserts in their hockey products the last few years.

And everyone knows how much I like a well-done insert since we haven't seen those since the 90's/.

When I got my box of inserts from reader Grady M, there was a big stack of hockey inserts/parallels in their. Many of which caught my eye.

I may not know any of the players, but the cards speak for themselves.

Similiar in design and look, but I like them.

 

This one features a foil background on a rink.

Offset player photo and color along with a glaring shine, this makes me happy.

I used to be one of these, so I get this insert. Or does this insert get me?

I have been collecting the Dazzlers inserts for a few years, one of these times I would love to make a rainbow run on them. They look so great under the light box.

 

I should choose a player and go chase it.

Next up, Allure is amazing product for parallels. I knew that just from collecting the Marvel version of it.

Not sure what this parallel is called but feels like a birthday party to me.

These may look even better than Prizm, Optic, Select or any product that involves a shiny parallel.

There were a lot more than the ones I showed above in the box, but wanted to highlight some key ones that really stood out to me.

(side note, I am sure blog reader Oren will enjoy this post and my partial excitement towards hockey cards as he has been trying for a few years to get me to the hockey side)

Thanks again to Grady for the mail day. Looking forward to adding more shine to my life this year.

Let's Talk About Sets Volume 61: 2022 Upper Deck Marvel Allure Base Set

Let's talk about sets baby, lets talk about sets with me. Let's collect them all and complete it to, let's talk about sets.

Today as I sit down with you and discuss sets, I am thinking about all of the sets I need still. I am not sure if they will ever all be completed, but maybe.

The last time I put up one of these posts it was for the 1991 Pro Set Musicards that I still need to complete along with the second series.

Today is the only other non-sport set I am chasing, and it comes along with my new addiction to Marvel movies.

 

My set chase for this one started off with a blaster box break then expanded to some trading to help narrow my list down some.

 

Which got me down to these out of the 150-card checklist. 100 is the base set, 50 are Sp's.

I hope I can finish up this one and the Musicards set.

If you have any set help for this one or either, just drop me an email at sportcardcollectors@hotmail.com and let me know. I always genuinely appreciate all help!
