Decent looking...terrible name. It reminds me of the Ford Contour, crap car.

Crown Royale called, it wants its design back! That being said it looks pretty cool!

This actually looks pretty nice. Depending on the price point, could be a great new product they put out

[Whoop]

Hmmm, I wonder what the price point will be?

Well above what it should be....

did Punk wear that jersey, while he attended an official NHL game?


(or maybe there isn't really a patch in there, card is just made to look that way?)

Not sure the memorabilia aspect of that card is needed, but interesting to see Upper Deck thinking outside the box, and adding something different to a release. I know not everyone will love those cards (depending on who they actually put into the list, I can see myself chasing one or two) but I really like different.

Haha it'll be either that or an event worn, right?

I strongly suspect we'll also see Alyssa Milano, David Boreanaz, and other well-known big fans.

Do you know who would really be awesome?
