ITG Posts First Look at Lord Stanley's Mug

[iidaemmi]

I know a lot of others wish they would put some more effort into the design. They have stepped it up in the design on this one.

Count me in. Don't get me wrong guys, I mean that, but set after set back round design is similar. I could put bunch of Gilmour cards in a row, and I think, many would not be able to say what set they represent. Quad material cards also look similar day after day.

That series is a great idea anyway.

This just adds value to the product... out of 76 guys, you aren't going to find a lot of "undesirables"... but out of 250 guys there likely would be lots. Enjoy the extended chance of getting some great autos like Henri Richard!

I could be wrong but I don't believe its 250 signers but rather a 250 card auto checklist as a lot of players have multiple auto's for each individual year they won the cup.

For instance Henri Richards autos from the checklist:

A-HR1	Henri Richard	1955-56	Montreal
A-HR2	Henri Richard	1956-57	Montreal
A-HR3	Henri Richard	1957-58	Montreal
A-HR4	Henri Richard	1958-59	Montreal
A-HR5	Henri Richard	1959-60	Montreal
A-HR6	Henri Richard	1964-65	Montreal
A-HR7	Henri Richard	1965-66	Montreal
A-HR8	Henri Richard	1967-68	Montreal
A-HR9	Henri Richard	1968-69	Montreal
A-HR10	Henri Richard	1970-71	Montreal
A-HR11	Henri Richard	1972-73	Montreal

All those multiple cup players like Richard, Beliveau, Howe, Robinson, Messier, and a couple others is what helps make up the 250 card auto list, still a very impressive list though!

I think I counted 76 different signers but I could be off a couple. Still impressive that with that many signers its still redemption free like the rest of ITG's products!

Seeing those autos makes me sad they didn't put Ranford into the checklist.

Hoping he'll be in some of the GU sets.

This product is a lifelong Habs fan's dream. Going to be some great cards to chase in there to relive the glory days of years gone by. Too bad they couldn't delay it until August to get the 2013-14 Habs in there. ;)

How cool would it be to get all 11 Henri Richard or all 10 Jean Beliveau autos? Might make for a cool project. But I bet those Beliveau autos will all be pretty limited as Le Gros Bill doesn't sign as much as he used to due to his health issues.

Please be sure that as soon as the Sabres win the Stanley Cup, I will do an update to Lord Stanley's Mug to include them.

I only hope that I live that long.

No Lindens or Keslers to chase, but I pre-ordered two boxes anyways. There's always a vintage auto to shoot for :)

Is this ITG's answer to that UD product I wont mention??
