The best collecting bargain on ice is gearing up for its return to the hockey arena for a whole new season.
2011-12 Score Hockey will ship to the masses in late October packing a massive 500-card base set that includes
Season and
Playoff Highlights subsets, 45
Hot Rookies and a limited
Hot Rookies SPs rookie subset that will feature players who make their NHL debuts early in the 2011-12 NHL season.
The program also includes a three levels of parallels:
Glossy (seeded one per pack),
Gold Rush (seeded one per 36-pack box) and the super-scarce
Black Ice (seeded one per case).
Each box of 2011-12 Score Hockey will deliver 36 Glossy parallels, 18 Hot Rookies, one Gold Rush parallel and at least 10 additional inserts including three
Making An Entrance, three
Net Cam, two
Sudden Death, one
First Goal, one
Playoff Heroes and one
NHL Shield Die-Cut.
The addition of new inserts such as First Goals,
Score B,
The Franchise Retro and Making An Entrance provide longtime Score enthusiasts with an exciting new chase, as should special scarce surprises such as Stanley Cup Champs, Santa Claus SPs and one super-secret insert that we don’t dare give away.
But perhaps the greatest aspects of 2011-12 Score are the wildly popular — and valuable —
Recollection Collection (featuring hard-signed original Score Buybacks from the likes of
Mark Messier,
Steve Yzerman,
Patrick Roy,
Ray Bourque and more),
Hot Rookies Autographs and
Score Signatures autograph programs.
