The cards are the best they could do without a License. Anyone who is bashing the product can thank the NHL and NHLPA for that. As for everyone saying that a lot of the cards are the same, what innovations have Upper Deck made this year? They are the same crap too, with literally a couple new subsets/inserts to add to their lineup in a year where they could try pretty much anything they wanted to try... I guess they just wanted to try to produce Pro Set numbers and see how it went... it obviously didn't work, however I give them credit for keeping or taking back all the leftover CRAP they have put out this year. If they didn;t do that, we would all be making fun of the 05-06 to 2010-11 cards that Upper Deck produced... There is way too much of this crap out there and I really think the good cards this year were made by ITG. Who really cares about a stupid logo when you colect a player, or players? If I collect Terry Sawchuk, ITG is the only company that will produce any cards of him at all, so what am I gonna do??? I tell ya what..... I'm gonna buy the ITG cards, whether they have a dumb logo on them or not, its still a limited card with a swatch of game-used jersey, pad, or glove on the card. Upper Deck has not even produced a card with a game-used rookie card yet (they are all photo shoot crap), so whats the difference????????
I guess there will always just be ITG haters, and Upper Deck haters, but just keep an open mind guys and really take a look at what you are getting for your money... both are a rip off, but one is definitely better than the other...
