  • TXHT Card Share – 2019-20 O-Pee-Chee

    TXHT Card Share – 2019-20 O-Pee-Chee

    Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to another edition of TXHT Card Share as we take a look at the latest Upper Deck release with the 2019-20 O-Pee-Chee set.

     

     

    O-Pee-Chee is one of the longer running sets when it comes to hockey and is usually the first one to offer a massive set to start the season with their 600 card set. The set includes 500 common base cards and 100 short print cards which covers 50 Marquee Rookies, 31 team checklists, 10 season highlights, and 9 League leaders cards.

     

    20190912_122839

     

    For the Rookies it is the same deal as with MVP as players like Jack Hughes and Kaapo Kakko will be added later in the season as part of the update packs, but you still get players like Quinn Hughes, Cale Makar, Filip Zadina, and many other rookies. Also just like MVP because it was being printed during Free Agency you still have players with the teams they finished 2018-19 with like with Phil Kessel with the Pittsburgh Penguins instead of the Arizona Coyotes.

     

     

    O-Pee-Chee also comes with its own inserts and specialty cards, and one of the main stays of the O-Pee-Chee series has been the retro editions of the base set cards. there are also parallels to the base cards as well. for the parallels there are Blue Border cards (1:3 packs) and Gold Glossy Border (1:24 packs), plus for the Retro (1 per pack) there is a special Hobby box exclusive Retro Black Border (#/100).

     

     

    O-Pee-Chee has also brought back the Playing Cards (#2 to King – 1:5 packs) and short print Aces (1:120 packs). The playing cards is very creative and has been done the last couple of seasons, and is always a welcome sub set to collect. Also there is a new sub set known as Caramels which honors the retro design with 2″ x 3.5″ sizing. They average 1:5 packs for the base cards, with the 40 card set also features six short prints (1:44 packs) and six super short prints (1:88 packs). For the Blaster boxes they have exclusive Caramel Border Parallels for the base (1:9 packs), short print (1:76 packs), and supershort print (1:152 packs).

     

     

    There are also 2019 Stanley Cup Final Moments (1:360 packs), In Action (1:1152 packs), and Retro High Series Cup Captain (1:4608 packs) cards. O-Pee-Chee Patches also returns, and this season features trophy winners along with Hall of Fame logos and some logo updates from past seasons sets. The Patches are exclusive to the Hobby boxes and range from 1:937 packs to 1:18,750 packs for the odds of pulling one.

     

    Overall the 2019-20 O-Pee-Chee set is a solid one and for those who wanted to do some bigger set building, this will keep you occupied in building the full 600 card set until November when the next big set debuts with 2019-20 Upper Deck Series 1 (Upper Deck does have at least one more set coming out before UDS1).

  • TXHT Card Share – 2019-20 MVP Hockey

    TXHT Card Share – 2019-20 MVP Hockey

    Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, welcome to the newest feature here at TXHT which is the TXHT Card Share series. To start the series we begin with Upper Deck’s 2019-20 MVP Hockey set that was released earlier this August.

     

    The MVP set, which was originally released for the 1998-99 season, is entering it’s 21st season, and keeping certain elements to them the same as they have been the last few seasons. Outside of the normal border changes to sleek up the design, MVP still only features the last five seasons on the back of the card. The base set is 250 cards featuring star players (200), All Stars (also are short print cards, 19), and rookies (also are short print, 31).

     

    20190825_172757

    For the Rookies, three of the most notable players are Quinn Hughes of Vancouver, Cale Makar or Colorado, and Filip Zadina of Detroit. Players like Jack Hughes will be added to the set later in the season when the updates come out. Same for if any player in the current set moves on to another team via free agency or trade, like with Marcus Johansson pictured above.

     

    For MVP they come with their own fair share of inserts and specialty cards, and one that has been a constant thoughout the series is the branded signatures. All cards come with silver and gold signature cards. Silver Scripts are more common to get while if you buy a blaster box from Retailers or Just Hockey Cards, you will get one Gold Script per box. There are also Super Scripts (limited to 25 per card), Super Script Black (limited to 5 per card), and Printing Plates (limited to 4 per card) and all three can only be found in Hobby boxes.

     

    MVP is also bringing back the Puzzle Back Parallels. Nine cards creates an enlarged version of a specific player, and the players featured this season are Nikita Kucherov, Auston Matthews, Brad Marchand, Hampus Lindholm, Alex Ovechkin, Matthew Barzal, Artemi Panarin, Connor McDavid, Patrick Kane, Sidney Crosby, Elias Pettersson, Carey Price, Nathan MacKinnon, Brent Burns, Drew Doughty, Leon Draisaitl, Steven Stamkos, Blake Wheeler, Mitch Marner, Jakub Voracek, Joanthan Toews, and Rasmus Dahlin.

     

    20190825_172955

    For inserts, there are a few but the main ones people will see more are Net Crashers, Laser Shots, and Supernovas. There is also Global Series, Postseason, and a 31 card Autographs set.

     

     

    20190825_172818

    Also, one of the cool sets that MVP is doing is they are recreating a set from 20 years ago like last season when they celebrated their 20th anniversary. This season they created a 100 card set to honor and replicate the 1999-2000 MVP Stanley Cup Edition. It is a nice looking set, but last season’s was better when they did the 1998-99 MVP style. though I may be bias because I loved that set as a kid.

     

    Overall the 2019-20 MVP Hockey set is a solid one to start wetting the appetite for the start of the new season. Despite their early release, and known roster updates that take place while the set is being printed, it is a recommended set for those who want to start collecting for the 2019-20 season.

  • TXHT Jersey Share – Gold Medal Caliber

    TXHT Jersey Share – Gold Medal Caliber

    Today in another edition of TXHT Jersey Share, we are going to take a look at a Replica Nike Team USA Hockey jersey that our very own Scott Fairchild got signed by the women’s 2018 Olympic Gold Medal winning team at MedStar Capitals Iceplex.

     

    33586

     

    Scott: First of all, the jersey is very comfortable as it has a Dri-Fit feel to it which is very typical of how Nike makes their jerseys and clothes. It also makes the jersey feel very breathable on you and doesn’t feel heavy or itchy at all. I’ve always been a fan of this jersey with the patriotic design and how the red stripes flowing out of the letter “S” like a waving flag.

    Now as for it being signed, I was very lucky and fortunate to be able to get the majority of the 2018 gold medal winning women’s hockey team at the Olympics to sign it. I happened to be off work one day due to a really bad wind storm which caused power outages that closed schools, and the team was visiting MedStar Capitals Iceplex (then know as Kettler Capitals Iceplex) to sign autographs and run a kids hockey clinic. I was able to get a good amount of signatures that day and I even got to hold Hilary Knight’s Gold Medal (see picture below). The team was also in town for the 2018 Stadium Series between the Washington Capitals & Toronto Maple Leafs. The whole team was signing autographs and taking pictures with fans at the fan fest before the game began as they were being honored for their accomplishment of winning the Gold Medal at the Olympics.

     

    33490

     

    Here are the signatures featured on the jersey:

    Hilary Knight, Jocelyn Lamoreaux-Davidson (game winning goal in the shootout), Monique Lamoreaux-Morando (game tying goal), Amanda Pelky, Kelly Panek, Hannah Brandt, Nicole Hensley, Maddie Rooney (winning goalie of record in the Gold Medal game), Kendall Coyne Schofield, Sidney Morin

    TXHT Jersey Share – Toronto celebrates NHL’s 100th anniversary

    Today for Dickson’s entry in the TXHT Jersey Share series, we take a look at the Toronto Maple Leafs throwing back to the Toronto Arenas on the NHL’s official 100th anniversary.

     

    20190716_102325

     

    Dickson: When the Maple Leafs announced that this was to be worn as the throwback on December 19th, 2017, I bought this jersey, with Auston Matthews as the player that I chose.  I also chose the player option, as I really liked how the pattern on the numbers were and the numbers had an old-school like feel to them.

     

    20190716_102420

     

    This a jersey that is on the adiZero template and was purchased through the Toronto Maple Leafs official team store and I was glad to have purchased this jersey for my collection.
