Hungry for hockey, I busted open a random re-pack from my stash.
Only one third were duplicates. I take it as a win anytime the majority of these "value packs" contain cards that I don't already own.

| Andrei Vasilevskiy 2019-20 Upper Deck Artifacts #15 |
Vasilevskiy was voted best netminder the previous season.
Ever notice that guys who win the Vezina trophy eventually seem to backstop a team to a Stanley Cup?
(Tom Barasso, Ed Belfour, Dominik Hasek, Tim Thomas, Brayden Holtby)
This makes a total of three cards from this set in my collection.
One of the better Artifacts card designs, in my opinion.

| Semyon Varlamov 2013-14 Panini Contenders #18 |
Thought I already had this card of Semyon Varlamov...
(Turns out I have his Panini Prizm card from the same year)
2013-14 Panini Contenders
Total Cards: 287
Overall, it's a half decent looking card. The Photoshop effect almost looks like a pencil drawing, which is kinda neat. Including the back of the card however, they've managed to use the same photo three times...

| Eric Fichaud, Zigmund Palffy, Todd Bertuzzi 3 Star Selection 1996-97 Collector's Choice #323 |
Have mixed feelings tucking this one into my collection, but every hockey card is a piece of history, pretty or not.
