1999-00 SPx Hockey was a decent product, that despite not guaranteeing any memorabilia or autographs hits, still offered decent value. The serial numbered rookie cards, and their parallels, offered fans a chance at names such as Luongo and Sedin, while inserts such as 99 Cheers bid farewell to Wayne Gretzky. While memorabilia and autographs were […]
1999-00 SP Authentic was a fun product that came with a guaranteed autograph hit.

1999-00 Topps Premier Plus was an interesting product that focused on inserts, while still providing the chance at an autograph or memorabilia card. The insert sets included in the product seem to generally be very flashy and full of foil, while the autographs are subdued and kind of plain. Personally this is not the greatest […]
1999-00 Topps Gold Label is a bit of an odd product. Whereas most product have a significant amount of different insert sets, this one only has three.
