According to the current release calendar, 2012-13 Titanium Hockey is slated to arrive in late January packing one memorabilia or autograph card in every pack, at least one autograph in every five-pack box and one Rookie Card numbered to the featured player’s jersey number in every case.
To be sure, 2012-13 Titanium’s highlights are plentiful and include . . .

• A 100-card base set with the possibility of up to 100 Rookies (with at least 50 hobby-exclusive rookies)
• A hobby-exclusive base design and several hobby-only insert sets
• A stacked insert lineup featuring Rookie Six Star Memorabilia cards embedded with six different types of memorabilia, Four Star Memorabilia, Milestone Goal Die-Cuts, Game Worn Gear, Scorers and Metallic Marks Autographs.
• Hobby-exclusive Ruby and Gold parallels honoring veteran stars on cards numbered to players’ jersey numbers and draft positions
• Hobby Gold Rookies RCs — the most limited in the industry — numbered to the featured player’s jersey number with hobby-exclusive Gold Draft parallels
• The all-new Milestone Goal Scorer Die-Cut jersey cards

We’ll have much more on 2012-13 Titanium Hockey right here on The Knight’s Lance in the coming weeks. Until then, enjoy this revealing first look at the product.

The imagery on the base card seems quite sharp but it's a boring base. And knowing Panini the backs of Panini cards look the same so won't get much excited for that

Argh, gold parallels numbered to draft positions? That means an x/2 Daniel and x/3 Henrik Sedin for me. Titanium is going to hurt.

Hope they lower the price on these as the Rookie clash will suck if there is no season.
