Let's go back 15 years ago with this 12 card pack. Hey I even got it for a quarter. Series 2 take cards 311-575 with World Junior Championship subset. Notable names on WJC from series 2: Jamie Langenbrunner, Michael Peca, Todd Harvey, Jason Allison. Also have 1 card from SP insert set. Careful on opening as cards as some cards are stuck together especially WJC subset.

ReplyDeleteGreat stuff. Well worth a quarter.
ReplyDeleteNice pack for 25 cents!
ReplyDeleteWorth it for sure. I've always thought Upper Deck has done a great job with their hockey cards. This is another good looking set though this is the first time seeing it. Good stuff.
