More Adventures in Re-Packed Packs...

Craig Smith
2017-18 Upper Deck #357
Nabbed some more re-pack cards, which yielded little of any real value. Doesn't bother me, as long as I find interesting cards. Always prepared to receive plenty of early 90s junk wax, but considering that I got 8 cards I didn't already have, I suppose it's another win.

Visible through the plastic wrap is usually a card from a newer Upper Deck set. Didn't know a single thing about Craig Smith, but at least it's a decent looking card from 2017-18 Upper Deck. Good enough to entice me to buy the pack.

(I've found that packs that tease you with the very latest Upper Deck set tend to be loaded with lesser cards)












Grant Fuhr
1996-97 Collector's Choice #224

Sure, the "Collector's Choice" cards are considered lower quality than the main UD set, but I've always kinda liked them.

This Grant Fuhr card (with mid 90s St Louis Blues jersey with plenty of red) becomes my only card from the set.

The trivia question on the back has stood the test of time... The all time goalie wins leader for the St Louis Blues is still Mike Liut. (although active netminder Jake Allen is creeping up there...)
















Jeff Beukeboom
1994-95 Upper Deck #339
Didn't have this one, but I always like finding cards of roleplayers.

Jeff Beukeboom was one of many key components to the New York Rangers 1994 Stanley Cup victory.
























Scott Stevens
1991-92 Pinnacle #81
A young(er) Scott Stevens, fresh off his trade from St Louis to New Jersey. Only have a handful of cards from this set, so it's worth one point.






















Ray Whitney
1995-96 Score #84

Didn't have anything from 95-96 Score. Actually like this set design better than most of their previous attempts. Score another point.





















Jay Moore
1992-93 Parkhurst #394
Have acquired several hundred Parkhurst cards from 1991 to 1995, but at least this one isn't a duplicate.



















Daniel Sedin
2015-16 Upper Deck #430
Already had this Sedin card. Teasing the back of the pack was my favorite card from 2015-16 Upper Deck (so far). Figured it was a good omen.
