I have a basic Messier jersey from that Ice 03-04 in my PC, I pack-pulled it back in the days. There was a lot of attention to details back then, those cards are nicely done.
Hobby and retail YGs were different that year.
Also, you probably never heard about it, but there was a Spezza 2001-02 YG. A super rare error card that wasn't supposed to exist. A few others were made too, I saw a list but I'm not sure of how reliable it is.

I got this one day. Not worth much in term of dollars, but the pictures selected for that card are awesome! I wish UD would something similar in some of their products, maybe flagship?

I still have a multicolored Chistov FWAP in my traders. The hype was huge on the Premier RPAs and FWAP that year, RPAs were a brand new thing. The Rookie Update dual autos were a big thing too, the Gretzky/Spezza was a major chase card.
These 2 caught my attention for my Roy PC:
06-07-SPXITMENT-#X53-ROY
08-09-OPC-METAL-#590-ROY
Please let me know if you see something you like among my traders.
The RPAs won't be guaranteed anymore. 1 Rookie Or Veteran Autograph Patch per box. For the rest, it looks solid. Personally, I prefer Premier over The Cup, it's about 1/3 of the price point and the designs are very nice in Premier.
I wish they would reshape MVP like it was in its early days. They had some sharp looking foil inserts, ProSign hard-signed autos, some cool memorabilia, while still affordable.
I was going throught my PC. It's not the biggest Roy card around, but I love the classic 05-06 design, the swatch with holes and the picture from the early days of the career of Roy.
