    Can someone explain this tag card to me please?

    Pavel bure, from Russia, in a rangers jersey, with a canada tag. All I can think of is the jersey was made in canada but that seems kinda silly to me...it would make more sense if it was a Canucks uniform but not rangers. This card lacks logic to me but it is nice to look at.

    It's about the jersey, not the player. Generally the NHL doesn't ask guys coming in from Russia to make their own jersey before leaving their home country.

    Yes, its really dumb. Who gives a damn where the jersey is made? They made one of Ovechkin the same way - with a Canadian emblem. Who cares that his jersey was made in Canada? Give me an emblem with a team or name patch any day. That actually means something. But today its ALL about "adding value" where none exists, simply by making it short-printed.

    Pretty soon they are going to start doing things like cutting up mouth pieces for really short-printed "memorabilia" cards. And the one piece with blood on it will be a SP 1-of-1 and worth millions!

    Haha, calling it dumb and following it up with this.

    If I am getting a card featuring the tag of a GAME WORN jersey, then yes, I do give a damn that it's actually from said jersey. But you're right, why not introduce arbitrary Russian tags because Ovechkin's from there? Wouldn't that be a blatant example of trying to add value where none exists (as a Russian tag would likely be from a counterfeit jersey?)

    And how is putting a tag in a card trying to add value where none exists? It's one of the rarest parts of the jersey....

    Couple of things....

    I agree that it's put in because it's a rare part of the jersey.... yes it's a bit silly that a Russian player on an American team has a Canadian Flag piece, but that's where the jersey was made. This isn't a new idea either.... been made for years. I don't see the problem though.


    Also, please try and avoid the use of "foul" language. If you've got to add an asterisk to the word, or a symbol instead of a letter...... so that it gets around the SCF swear filter.... just pick a different word.

    That is like saying you cut up a game-used hockey stick into a thousand pieces, but you save the tape from the end and limit it to just five pieces. Sure the "tape" cards are more rare. But I would much rather have an actual part of the stick. Just because something is "rare" doesn't mean its valuable.
