Detroit Red Wings fans might want to save a little cash.
In The Game is creating a new hockey product dedicated to the team in red and white.
Motown Madness is scheduled to come out in February with autographs and memorabilia cards from iconic players such as Gordie Howe, Steve Yzerman and Sergei Federov.
Collectors will find 12 cards in every box with two game-used memorabilia cards, four autographs, five base cards and one Patch of Honor insert.
Yes, four autographs.
ITG has created specialty team sets before. Last year, it came out with Broad Street Boys, highlighting the Philadelphia Flyers franchise.
Check out the gallery below for more pictures from the upcoming set.

Anyone know how much this is going to be and where to get it as I don't see it on blowout at all

[zonacats8]

So nobody knows about how much these boxes will cost?

I'm hoping not too much, been wanting to start up a Wings PC for a while now, think this could be a cool way to have kinda like a starter kit by doing a box or two depending on the price of them

Im guessing in the Decades/BSB range 80-120.

90 in the States, 120 up here.

This looks like something I might consider buying. I am not usually too big on ITG stuff but I did some Enforcers last year and liked that. Not a huge wings fan but they do sell well and I am not sure what a return would bring but you definitley wont get stuck with it. I dont think I have ever listed a Red Wings card that did not sell. Packers in Football, they sell really good.

Will blowout end up carrying it?

I'd hate to have to buy it here in Detroit, figure they'd jack up the price a little bit

Would love to pull myself an Yzerman or Osgood, my two favorite Wings of all time, also would be cool to get a Helm too as he's my favorite current Wing

Can't wait for this to drop, really excited for it

I would assume so yes. Drop Pat or Chris a pm. I am sure they would be able to let you know.

Thanks, I'll be sure to shoot them a message

I was also just thinking about a sweet card they could make for the set, a Darren McCarty Auto with the picture of him beating a turtling Lemuiex

If they make that card and I pull it, it would be my favorite pull for the rest of my life, even if I were to pull a Stewart 1/1 it wouldn't beat the joy of pulling that card (if its made and it should be)

Pat just messaged me back and said it was added to the pre-sell list, it's $85 a box, I'll probably have to order one or two of them

I was also looking at the sell sheet more and saw that one of the 6 patch cards is for memerable games and that is the Colorado Brawl with a patch from Vernon, Yzerman, McCarty, Roy, Forsberg, Lemuiex.

Oh my god I want that card, hopefully I either pull it, or it's not low numbered so I can afford to buy it after release because that is SICK

Anyone know if ITG products generally come out on time or are delayed?

Just not sure I want to pre-order it now if there is a decent chance of it getting delayed

[bprice]

ITG products always come out on time.

Take it to the bank!

While I normally would agree with you, when the card is based around that glorious beat down, and has the Wings players on it too, it would be acceptable in my book
