Short comment for Sakic: Amazing card!!

my suggestions for the Sakic Card, I like to think I have an eye for design, however I am not very good with design programs, ie Photoshop. So take that for what its worth.

1. The idea of Canada vs. the World is an awesome concept IMO, why not make it stand out? Right now its the smallest text on the card. I'd ditch "Completely Candian" and design a more sleek font, incorporate the Candian Flag and the text "Canada vs The World" into a small logo.

2. Ditch the plain gold frames around the game used pieces. Looks like frames in microsoft word. The frames should have more flair. What happens when you have large frames like that, it makes the pieces look smaller. I'd suggest small thin frames, with a little design at the corners.

3. I'd move the ITG logo further into the bottom right hand corner, its encroaching onto Joe.

4. Ditch the words "Complete Jersey." Make Joe Sakic's name bigger, and use a more unique font. You already have a description of each piece.

maybe some foil and some shiny, glossy effects. Hope that helps.

I love all the products! The decades and the year 1972 bring back the feel of those years which i think most people really like. I personally dont mind the designs, the awesome game used items make the cards great!

I just posted several of the designs for Canada vs. The World today. If collectors really want to see ITG improve on our designs, then I am open to suggestion.

Here is one of the designs, let's see what your likes, dislikes and suggestions would be in a constructive manner.

I have listened to collectors choose our products (1972 The Year in Hockey), I have listened to collectors choose players (Heroes and Prospects) and now I am ready to listen to collectors who truly want to assist with designs, not those who simply bash everything we do to either make their favorite brand or themselves look good.

Ok, I'm just sayin......put the "Canada VS the World" across the top, put the "Completely Canadian" across the bottom and gimme a bigger picture of Joe. Then it's perfect, to me anyway. I absolutely HATE all the flourishy touches on some of the Other Company's cards. All that said, I'm a sucker for Team Canada cards and memorabilia, I'm gonna treat myself to a box or two and hope for the best. Thanks, Doc!!

Dr. Price, canada vs. the world looks awesome! You dont need flashy cards to make everyone happy. You have memorbilia from lindbergh , eddie shore, maurice richard..two of those players passed in 85! shore played from 1926-1940.These young kids dont appreciate this.. I know UD and Panini dont have these guys in the lineup. The people who buy your product arnt looking for the best rookies to make money on, they are looking for the history of hockey, and you bring that. I really like the historic look to go along with these players. I really like your complete jerseys/packages. In HP, i can see going with a modern design since the players are new, but when dealing with the HOFers a historic design is best IMO. From what ive seen, only you focus on HOF memorbilia (unlike the other companys) and thats what makes ITG stand out

I like how itg maybe not wins on the design on most cards but on the nice sets they have for many vintage hof players (complete jersey, emblems, numbers etc etc too much to list here), stuff like ud dont even come close to and there itg is a winner.

Decades is hands down the best product this year. Love the design, especially on the quads. and what makes a set is also the players selection. ITG is far and beyond the rest of the bunch.

Bring back the 04/05 and 05/06 designs, those were sharp and different. I like to see a serial numbered card as well. Instead of 1 of 50 I'd like to see the actual print number.

I still don't understand why ITG did not get a license from the NHL and Panini did, but I always loved ITG products (except enshrined). I still buy boxes of 00/01 BAP mem. when I see them. This years Between the pipes was excellent. I always liked a simple design.The one thing I would love to see Dr. Price is serial numbering on your cards instead of colors. Keep going Doc, and hopefully you will get your license someday.
