NEW TOO: Autographed Draft Boards!

umm what?

[fdp79]

cant wait to see the design this year....IMO last years limited logos were perfect....lets hope that the rookie patch autos look as nice as this years exquisite football

[Raptor]

what is the draft boards

[qwas]

Are you going to do a case break on this stuff, quiet things???

[Prime B]

what is the draft boards

My guess is it will be something like this. Last year TB had the # 1 overall pick. UD acquired the nameplate they inserted by Tampa Bay with "Stamkos" up on the huge draft board on stage. They then cut it into pieces and had Stamkos sign it.

Not exactly cutting edge or out of this world ingenuity but different for sure so I'll give them that.

As far as the rest of the stuff, ho hum on the sets but I am interested to see the designs. Obviously you know you will get your "core" cards every year in this product (Limited Logos, Scripted Swatches, Honorable Numbers, etc) but what it comes down to now is the design.

Hopefully the checklists are deep and they didn't forget the rookies in any subsets this year.

[Raptor]

i will be breaking a case of this stuff, already ordered

[sholi2000]

I bought a case last year. It was the most exciting break I ever had and lots of great cards. It was the most fun I ever had with my pants on...........oops, can I say that

[Raptor]

i am 100% with you on that, my heart was pounding and i started to sweat, and i done really good also. i pulled a toews emblems of endorsement /15 and a uncut sheet just to name 2. so i hope i do as good this year

[HammerHawks]

I'll have quite a few to hunt down!
