Random Card of the Day

Year: 2000-01

Set: Upper Deck CHL Prospects (Rate)

Card: #59 Greg Watson


“ Upper Deck had great baseball, but I feel like they were made for hockey. This is cool for a CHL set. I love Upper Deck's standard hockey release. ” -muskie027

“ Cool, minor league hockey! Very much a design of it's time, I still like it. ” -Billy Kingsley

“ An almost exceptional card had the extended sidebar not been used. ” -Sportzcommish

“ It says in his one season he had 67 games played. What is that when I convert out of metric? ” -kents_stuff

“ Pretty good looking card. I used to watch a lot of the games of the CHL and minor hockey leagues in washington state. Cool to think there were cards. ” -parsley24

“ Not a huge fan of Prospects, but I am learning to like some of the uniforms. Front *sigh* you want a border go with a border, don't use all the text as a border. OK at least the player name is prominent but not super easy to read. A Team logo would have been nice. Back is typical boring UD. I can see all the complaints about using the same photo for the headshot. and only one line of stats. ” -captkirk42

“ Hockey prospects start when they are 8 years old. ” -carthage44

“ A shame these weren't part of the Pinnacle Inside sets. Then it would have really been "Prince Albert in a can." ” -vrooomed

“ The usual negatives. Same pic on front and back. Sideways name, team, position, whatever. And to make it really bad, they not only put the player's name sideways, the first and last names are facing the opposite way. "F". ” -NJDevils

I enjoyed Dan's comment. Also, is the Rate button next to the set name new today?  I like it (I'm an avid set-rater).  This was the first time I noticed it.

I'm going to reevaluate how I collect after the new year. It's just getting way too expensive for the new stuff.  Sometimes I just want to buy a pack, not a whole box or even blaster.

Call me the crusty hockey guy, LOL, it is Junior hockey not Minor Leauges. =P Junior = no pay Minor League = pay. Prince Albert only 4 hours from here, I have to drive through it to go to my sisters place visiting.

VERY slow trading due to health problems. Not transferrable so safe to trade with, just moving is painful and can't always access the cards.
