I'm not too sure what to think of it - I saw a Price/Subban dual GU posted already and it just looks very mediocre in terms of the design. There's too many elements added to the cards that just clutter it up. I don't think that it needs to have "Dual Jersey" on it twice and the "II" just jacks it all up as well. It's great to finally get the first dual GU of two of the most popular current Habs, of course.

Here is my experience with Artifacts over the last several years.

1. Get excited about new hockey products coming out. Remember that I told myself I wouldn't buy any more Artifacts but a box isn't that expensive so I buy a couple.

2. Break the box and have a lot of fun. Maybe get a patch, always get an autograph, Some fun parallels that can sell well if you get low numbers. Get a lot of trade requests too after I post my break. Hockey card season is back!!!

3. New products come out. No one wants my Artifacts. Just look on in sadness at my many single color jersey swatches and autos of lesser known players.

4. Oooh Rookie redemptions are in. Trade-trade-trade.

5. Why do I have so many artifacts cards that no one wants? Argh! I'm never buying Artifacts again!

Annnnd repeat.

I believe they released Artifacts today. Anybody open anything yet. Looking forward to seeing some scans of the game used.

Planning on getting some (not a box though, not that rich haha) later on. Ebay has some singles already. So far, the patches have been underwhelming. Seeing a lot of single colour "patches" if ebay description is to be trusted.
