New to Hockey

Just starting to get into the NHL after the lockout, and was gonna try to bust a box of something to get my interest going.

I don't want to spend that much obviously, probably no more than $60ish. What do you suggest? Contenders, Elite, Pinnacle all looked interesting?? Thanks for the input.

Do contenders $60 a box is a great deal for 4 autos per box! You could also get some nice patch autos or booklets!

Which of the last two years do you think is better?

You will get a lot more bang for your buck opening an older product, rather than current release.

In my opinion, all of this year's products are pretty lame.

93-94 UD Hockey is probably my favorite set from the 90's, and you can get boxes for about $10 each.

08-09 OPC is quite nice if you want something from the last few years that has all of the modern superstars.

Depends of what you like, hits or quantity.

In the last 2 years,

Hits: Contenders 11-12 (50$-60$)

Quantity: OPC 12-13 (50$-60$)

If god send you money: UDGU 12-13 (120$) Hits are too sick (about 25 cards in a box, 5 hits in)

Let us know
