    Great video and some sick hits…by far the best hockey product maybe ever made!! The Prime Time rookies and the letters are always my favorite. An amazing 4 box break. Loved seeing the cards from a high end product I will probably not be able to bust but at least have a chance of landing a card from!

    And I do all 3 of following, Twitter and FAcebook. Thanks for the break guys!

  9. August 31, 2012 12:21 pm

    Done, done and done! Would kill for the Winnipeg Jets hits in that break! Amazing swatch in the Klingberg card! Overall they are amazing looking cards. Can’t wait to pop a few boxes!

  10. August 31, 2012 12:22 pm

    Tracy,
    Numbers 1-3 are complete, I hope that I can win. This product is so loaded this year, more than worth the wait. I can’t wait to get mine to break today. Although, I would have loved to have seen a Markstrom in the product (that is just nitpicking though). Great Work.
    Thanks,
    T

    Very nice product love the jumbo windows for the patches and jerseys. The showcase cards look great. However, I dont like the color scheme on the dual jerseys especially if its black on black border. But overall this is a nice product and not as pricey (finally!) for hockey. Hey wheres the prime location?

    September 3, 2012 3:59 pm

    Would love to win some free cards, but also wanted to give kudos for a great idea that Karvin mentioned on the video, but is probably being overlooked by many. Using the single colored swatches on the Showcase cards. I think as collectors we understand that 1-color swatches are just part of the hobby, but to expand upon that and add the acetate and the dual images as well as low numbering really make the cards collectible and add value even the card only has a single colored jersey swatch. Really enjoying watching all the Prime breaks on all the card sites. Thanks for a great product!!!

    • September 3, 2012 7:19 pm

      I agree with that. It makes use of a single swatch that might go into 4-5 regular little gu jersey cards and makes something unique out of it with the images overlaid.

    Probably too late for the contest but thought I would post some feedback anyway, 1st of all great product ! wow. Blew a paycheck on it already, will buy more next payday. Great innovation, awesome patches, lots of low numbered stuff. Video has come a long way as well, keep having fun with it :) Thanks for not just re-hashing what that other hockey card maker does (you screwed up contenders by the way), your stuff is refreshing and looks great. I only buy Panini now days, keep up the great work !
