2003-04 Pacific Prism is quite a bit different from the Panini inception of the product that came later. This version promised collectors a memorabilia card in every pack, and while it didn’t offer any autographed cards, it kept the cost low enough to be worthwhile. Prism also offered fans a selection of inserts as well […]
Ninja Update: 2003-04 Invincible
2003-04 Invincible is a Pacific product that follows in the same style as the other Pacific products. A decidedly low-end brand, Invincible offers 2 jersey cards per box, as well as 3 rookies, but offers very little in the way of return value. These are the types of products best suited for young collectors and […]
Ninja Update: 2003-04 Heads Up
2003-04 Heads Up is a bit of an oddball product from Pacific Hockey. The main draw for the low-end product is in fact not a hockey card, but a miniature NHL jersey instead. These mini jerseys fall 1 per box and are one of the few reasons to buy the product. On the card front, […]
Ninja Update: 2003-04 Crown Royale
Before Panini revived the Crown Royale brand, it was property of Pacific Hockey. 2003-04 Crown Royale doesn’t really resemble the later effort by Panini, but does still offer a fun rip. Each box of this lost cost product provides 3 jersey cards and a box topper patch card, as well as several insert sets. While […]
Ninja Update: 2003-04 Pacific Hockey
2003-04 Pacific Hockey is the namesake brand for the company, despite being decidedly low-end. Each box offers 2 jersey cards as hits, with each case producing only 1 Cramer’s Choice triangular card. The only autograph opportunities arises from a set honoring the career of Marty Turco. The remainder of the product consists of base and […]
Ninja Update: 2003-04 Topps Pristine
2003-04 Topps Pristine is an odd product that has a pack within a pack format to it. Each of the five packs in a box has 3 inner packs to it, with one of the 5 having a 4th inner pack. The first of these inners has an “uncirculated” card, which is essentially a refractor […]
Ninja Update: 2003-04 Topps C55
2003-04 Topps C55 is an homage to the original C55 set from 1991, widely believed to be the first real hockey card set. The modern day version uses the same design as the original and also offers mini cards that emulate the original “tobacco” sized cards of the 1911 version. The set also offers collectors […]
Ninja Update: 2003-04 Topps/O-Pee-Chee
2003-04 Topps/O-Pee-Chee is a fun and attractive set that offered a variety of inserts ans base sub-sets in each box, as well as the chance at an autograph or memorabilia card. There are stark differences between the modern OPC product, now owned by Upper Deck, and this OPC, which was under the control of Topps. […]
Ninja Update: 2004-05 Ultimate Memorabilia 5th Edition
2004-05 Ultimate Memorabilia 5th Edition is ITG yearly entry for the popular product. As always each pack features 3 encased cards, 1 base, 1 autograph, and 1 memorabilia. These cards offer collectors some of the biggest names in hockey’s history, including cut signatures such as Lord Stanley and Lady Byng. It is a large product, […]
Ninja Update: 2004-05 Heroes and Prospects
2004-05 Heroes and Prospects is a great example of why the brand remains one of ITG’s most popular creations. Each box offered collectors 2 autographs and 1 memorabilia card. These cards could either be of a potential up and comer, or one of the NHL’s greatest legends. This means that the product has appeal for […]
