Dumb question

[golfermatt91]

Im newer to hockey collecting only been on board for about a year. Last summer and this year.

What's the hype/what's so good about Herod and prospects and how do you know what hits are good or bad.

Heroes and Prospects is made by ITG (In the Game). They do not have an NHL license so the cards do not have players in their NHL jerseys. They do have a good assortment of players and often feature memorabilia cards from international jerseys as well as juniors and minor league jerseys. All autographs are on a sticker, although they look really good and sometimes you can barely tell it is on a sticker.

I think they usually have at least one good patch/jersey per box. If you are looking for something fun and relatively inexpensive and don't need every card to be of a current NHL player, go for it.

Otherwise, spend the $25 extra and go with upper Deck's artifacts. All NHL players. Skip anything from Panini until they put out a decent hockey product.

I usually wait for sp authentic every year and see people bust this a lot. Thanks for the good response so it has a lot of prospects pretty much like people not in the NHL yet

this is a set for collectors that aint worried about rookie cards or other over priced cards. Some of the kids will probably never make the NHL but its a fun set to put together.

Thanks for the response. Its pretty much like press pass of football but they put in some patches and such

I've never tried this product until today. Got a pack and a Scott Oke Auto. No idea who he is, but an auto for one pack and I am happy.

Thanks for the responses I might pick up a box this weekend just because. not a fan of any of the hockey products until sp authentic comes out

I've got 6 packs coming from a pack sale on here, Looking forward to it after I saw what others have pulled. Plus I want to try and pick up alot of the points to turn in for a sweet card.

This all depends on how well you know the junior ranks, which prospects are being forecast to go in the top rounds, which NHL team (if any) has drafted them, and doing your research.
