2011-12 H+P or BTP?

[TheCardBandit]

While collecting the Enforcers set I've really started to grow fond of ITG and have been planning on working on another set alongside Enforcers. I can't decide if I want to buy a couple boxes of 2011-12 Heroes & Prospects, or Between the Pipes, I was wondering what you all recommend?

Hans I'd go with h and p. no particular reason. I just like it

Broke a case+ of H&P. Fun but I am still a fan of BTP. Broke a couple of 11-12 and nailed a Roy anniversary jumbo glove. BTP seems to have a cooler variety of cards as well as bigger names (guys in the bigs) in my opinion allthough the price will be steeper than the H&P.

Well I'll be purchasing from Blowout cards and there is only like a $10 difference in price so that shouldn't be a factor.

If it was me, BTP. If you are in to collecting goalies you can't go wrong and with cool stick, pad, glove, blocker, etc possible hits it is a lot of fun. Chances of hitting some great cards from Roy, Price, Richter, Plante, etc.

Here are some of the beauts from my boxes to give you a look at what is possible from just a few of them.







also pulled a Worthers jersey /9 and a Barrasso auto SP.

Depends what you like more: goalies or prospects.

Well does H&P focus mainly on heroes or prospects? I've always enjoyed goalie cards from a hockey set.

The only big hits you can get are basically prospects. First overall picks and future first overall picks as well as huge memorabilia pieces, these are all junior players as well.

BTP. So many cool GU sets.

on a side note, the points from H+P are only redeemable until the end of the month, while for BTP it's in March some time. So even if you weren't planning to go for a HSHS redemption, the points from H+P likely wouldn't have much value unless you can make an IP sale/trade.

Personally, I prefer BTP anyway, H+P is a bit more hit or miss.
