When I went to a small card show on Saturday, these weren’t the packs I was hoping to walk out with. I was disappointed to find that what I went for had sold, but I still grabbed a few things.
These packs were hidden in a bunch of football packs and when I paid, he said that he didn’t even know they were in there. I guess it happens. I’d like to stumble on some cheap boxes of this to put the set together. I do love the clean, crisp design. I’m not always the biggest Panini cheerleader, but I feel they always did a sold job on Score Hockey.
I am particularly a fan of the tough-to-find parallels. For this set, those were “Black” and the “Red Back” versions. The red backs are toughest of all. I need the Andrew Shaw for my player collection but have never seen one.
Anyway, on to the break, pack-by-pack.

Nothing spectacular or anything, but it’s a low-end brand and I got what I expected. I’m going to hold on to them and hopefully down the road I can come across some cheap boxes and work on a set.
Happy collecting!
