DO I go CHAMPS or do i go ICE???

[LAKingsFan123]

Ever since Ice came out i get 2 or more boxes of it. Now since CHAMPS is coming out around the same time, im in a deadlock on what to get. I have a big interest in Fossils and Artifacts, but then the odds are 1 per case. But then I have some luck in the Ice but the rookies /99 I think are 1 per case. Any help on my decision will be greatly appreciated.

I think the Ice /99 RCs are more like one in 3 cases, given the fact I have never had faith in Ice and also that I will be OBSESSED with the fossil cards in Champs I will vote Champs

 

[MGiuseffi1969]

I think Champs will be a big hit amongst the set builders and will have some BIG hits. I say give that one a shot. Both should be decent though....

If it's an either/or situation, I'd take Champs. There are just so many horror stories from almost every year of Ice. And there haven't been any of those for Champs yet.

ICE = Joke
Champs is new so its hard to to judge.

 

[LAKingsFan123]

Thanks for the help guys, this will have an impact on what I get. I think im going with champs.

good luck

The statement that Champs is too new to judge is just so true. The saying "do you go with the devil you know, or the one you don't?"

I think I'd go with Champs, just for something different. That's what I'll be doing. Ice was brutal to me last year.

when is champs released?

 

[FrozenInferno]

March I believe?

 

[LAKingsFan123]

Yea they both come out in March. I did well with Ice last year. I bought 2 boxes and pulled a Toews RC which I sold for 500. But with this years rookies, I think I will get Champs

Champs looks awesome!

Champs is the A&G for hockey. If it sells anywhere near as well, it will be considered a huge hit.

I think it will.

Are the two box prices the same?

 

[JohnnyDrama]

I'm not a fan of the fossils and I've always liked the designs of Ice, so i'd personally go with Ice. But obviously, it's all up to who's buying it.

 

[Mike52Green]

I'd go with Champs.. I like Ice, but Champs looks really cool and I think you'd have a better chance at bigger hits.

While I am critical of the fact that Champs is a clone of A&G, I'll watch a few breaks here before I decide if I'll bother with it. If there are redemptions galore, then I'm out. If it looks anything near as decent as A&G has been, I might try a box.

Never been a fan of Ice. I'd probably risk Champs before I ever bought Ice again.

Right now for presells, Champs is 10 bucks more a box

I'd definitly go with UD Ice. I want to buy hockey to get hockey.
