2003-04 Topps Traded and Rookies Hockey Hobby Box Break - 3 Relics

[Fultoncards]

The late 1990s and early 2000s are an interesting era, as they had Topps and OPC cards, during a weird glossy transition phase. This is just prior to the huge Crosby/OV rookie class (which is a year when there was no OPC at all!). The early 2000s were a bizarre nomansland, before the hobby entered its new boom phase - which we enjoy to this day.

On the other hand, the hobby had some low and mid-end products that paved the way with game-used jerseys and autos. This traded and non-true rookie set is pretty much forgotten, even though it included some big name rookies like Brent Burns, and three game-used relics divided into different groupings.

Here are the specs:

Configuration: 24 packs per box, 8 cards per pack


Base Set: 165 card base set
-Incl. 80 RCs


Parallel sets:
-Blue Line (#`d to 500),

I broke a box of this a few years ago. Really fun at the right price! You did very well with your 2 goalie jersey cards!
