First Look: 2014-15 In The Game Heroes & Prospects

Not having a license kills their stuff for me. I do not like to collect airbrushed cards without team logos and names. It just seems very cheap.

With all due respect, this is a review of one product, the new H & P release. The license issue and UD-Panini-Leaf-ITG comparisons have been hashed over many times in numerous threads, Please stay on topic.

Two questions:

What's the mix of heroes and prospects? If I looked at the autograph checklist, is it mostly one or the other - or is it a pretty even mix?

Any Bill Ranford in the product? I ask for purely selfish reasons.

sorry, No Ranford in this. There are more rookie signatures just based off the amount of rookies we have deals with, but the checklist for Hero Autois about 17 deep including Fedorov, Bourque, Bobby Hull, Brett Hull, Jagr, Thornton, Tretiak, Lemaire, Henri Richard, Wendel Clark, Cheevers and others. Plus Complete Jersey, Prospect and Hero jersey McDavid/Gretzky,Crouse/Lemieux and others. The Between the Pipes Padmen, Glovemen and Vezina Winners are all retired/legend. Hero six swatch such as Gretzky / Orr / Howe / Hull / Lemieux / Richard. plus other hero Six cards. All-Star Heroes using all-star game worn jerseys from Gretzky, Lemieux, Lidstron, Roy, Yzerman and others.....so, you can see, more hero content then before

What Edmonton Oil Kings / Kelowna Rockets will be in this? Merkley should be for sure but any others?

No Ranford is okay. Still trying to track down cards from last year's BTP :)

That's a really strong sounding group. I do look forward to seeing the checklist

And all of the CHL (prospects) stuff is fully licensed.

As another poster said: The licensed / not-licensed talk has been beaten to death. I get that some people don't like it (unlicensed / airbrushed cards) and others don't care. While we're all free to comment and add to any discussion that we like, if unlicensed NHL cards don't appeal to you (or anyone) I fail to understand why one would bother reading a thread talking about a product that doesn't interest them. I would assume that I'd leave all the basketball fans scratching their heads if I jumped in on product previews and repeated over and over again about what junk the products look like, since I had only heard of about 10% of the players in the upcoming set... and there was no way I was buying it (hint: There is no way I'd buy it)

Gregg - is there any Barrasso in the BTP subset(s)? I also ask for purely selfish reasons.

Like the design, based on the preview sheet. Same complaints as everyone about the airbrushing, but other than the Howe, everything on that sheet looked nice to me.
