Heroes and Prospects Important News

[bprice]

Collectors;

Last week I posted that we had another exciting non-memorabilia insert set to add to the lineup of inserts for the upcoming 2009-10 Heroes and Prospects product.

We have now completed the set and I would like to preview it on the HI Boards.

Here are the checklist and card images of this non-memorabilia insert set. I hope you enjoy collecting this set as much as we enjoyed producing it. These great players interrupted their careers and some of them lost their lives to protect our way of life, they are the Real Heroes.

Very cool!

Can't wait for H&P this year!

 

[Driftwood83]

Wow, really cool idea for a set. Looks great too.

 

[The Great Zo]

Joe Turner -- namesake of the IHL's Turner Cup.

A very nice idea for a set, and certainly one that has not been done before in hockey (if anywhere).

 

[DXFlyers]

That is awesome!

Hero: a man/woman of distinguished courage or ability, admired for his/her brave deeds and noble qualities. (Source: Dictionary.com)

While we can call sports figures "heroes", THESE are the true heroes of a past generation. Impressive, ITG... VERY impressive.

Amazing set.. ITG staff and Dr. Price you are very creative and deserve a big hand...

The Military men and woman are true Heroes

 

[pigwig]

Great looking set!!

Cant wait to put it together!

 

[Triple B]

The cards are very nicely designed and lend for a nice IP or TTM signature for those Heroes that are still with us. I'd love to get that Johnny Bower signed...!

 

[rhynorat]

Nice touch, I like it a lot. I'm sure there will be quite a few people putting that set together, likely even some who do not collect hockey cards.
