Hockey Product You Love and Do Collect

[RGM81]

Just because we need a little positivity and balance with the other thread.

What's a product that you love year in and year out, and will always come back to get more?

For me, I've always been a fan of Black Diamond, SP Authentic, and Between The Pipes. While I haven't put together the BD set the past couple seasons they're always among my favourite designs. As a goalie collector, BTP is a little bit of manna from heaven.

I also think that Certified's going to be a winner for me again next year. Crown Royale too, especially if they do the Scratching The Surface cards again. Stunning design.

SPX. I have ridiculous luck with every box I have bought. Series 1 is generally quite a great product.

I haven't busted that much (usually the lower end products) but I really like BTP, SPA, and 09-10 artifacts (seems to be more solid hits).

Between the Pipes. 2001-02, 2002-03, and 2009-10 are particular favorites of mine. Already booked a 2010-11 case of BTP for breakage.

Another of my favorites is 2002-03 BAP Memorabilia. I continue the hunt for the lone Irbe memorabilia card I need from it.

Other notables I buy whenever I randomly spot:
Topps Gold Label any year, 2006-07 Be A Player, ITG Signature Series any year, BAP Millennium Edition, anything Pacific. New stuff really doesn't do it for me, though I can make the quickest buck with new things.

"We choke, when we focus on negativity"
Woo, positive thread! I think my favorite set would either be 02-03 Topps Stadium Club (Great insert designs and fantastic photography on the base set) or 02-03 Topps Chrome. I'm currently working on building a master set of Stadium club. I really wish Topps was still making hockey, but I do enjoy UD1 and 2, and ITG BTP and Franchises.

H&P, BTP, SPA. Easily my top 3. Going to break some stuff when I get back so I'll update then.

Every year, I buy my two boxes of UD 1 and 2, do the base set and the YG set.
I know, I am a cliché!

ITG Ultimate stick/auto.
2007-08 and 2008-09 are the best IMO.

This year they added a jersey to it and the cards are /19. Already difficult to find them when they are /30 /24, not going to try the set this year.

In the interest of fairness, for UD it's SPA, for ITG, Pipes.

SPA when it actually gets released!
