   Review: 2005-06 UD MVP Hockey (Review by Ike Newton)

8 cards per pack, 24 packs per box.
"Look for Rookie Cards, averaging 1 in 2 packs!"
"Find single, double, and triple memorabilia cards!"


   Base Card Scans

Comments:

Clean design, sturdy card stock. Base cards are nicer than some of the premium product on the market.


   Rookie Scans
Comments:

We pulled a total of 12 rookies which match the odds of 1 in 2 packs. The names are somewhat hard to read with the text fonts used. So if you are not a hockey fan, you will have a hard time reading the names.


   Parallel Scan
Comments:

There are gold parallels (#'d /100) and platinum parallels (#'d /25). We pulled Tyson Nash, but it was the rarer platinum.


   Insert Scans
Comments:

The inserts are excellent! The scans doesn't show the foil well, but the designs are top notch, especially the Gretzky. We pulled (2) Rookie Breakthrough (1:12 packs), (2) Rising To the Occasion (!:12 packs), (1) A Tribute to Greatness (!:24 packs), and (1) Monumental Moments (1:24 packs).


   Game Used Scan
Comments:

We pulled Mark Parrish MVP Materials. Nice design on these as they are not too cluttered up and has a sizable jersey swatch. These are 1 in 24 packs.


   The Final Verdict!

I give this product a 5 out of 5 H.I fives. Amazing what you get for only $40-$50 US. This product has it all and looks better than a lot of premium products on the market. I absolutely loved the "A Tribute To Greatness" design. We hit the nail on the head when it comes to the odds printed on the box. Very enjoyable box break and has a little bit for all collectors. Definately recommend this product even if you are not a hockey fan.
