Verified Trader,
Earlier this year I posted the 2021-22 year in hockey packs. Here's the year before that. Hope you enjoy!
For 2020-21, I'm only missing some Leaf products that are very low priority for me and then the 3 most expensive UD boxes: The Cup, Premier and Black Diamond. Outside of that, I do believe I have all the packs and variants for this year.
I gave some background in the last post. Outside of autographs, I collect sealed modern packs/boxes. I am trying to collect a sealed pack and all variants from 2000 to present. From 2000 to 2004 I am missing many variations, particularly from the Pacific products as they had many pack variants. From 2005 to present I'm mostly just missing the really high end stuff and a few random packs here and there. I have well over 1,000 different sealed packs from 2000 to present. I don't know of anyone else with a similar collection or anyone else keeping track of the modern day pack variants.
Similar to the last post:
Click on images for a bigger picture. I know most people don't find the back of packs very interesting so I've left those images small. Click on the images for ones you can read. When I've only picture the back of variants, its because there is no difference to the front. The back of the pack is the easiest way to tell which variant you have. These are easily distinguished by the barcodes.

Finally, since I posted the last time, I've changed the way I store my packs. I still use the large yearly binders (these are different from the starter kit ones) but I've changed sheets and no longer use painter tape to keep the packs in place.
I've found this very specific combination keeps the packs nice and cozy. They are well protected, don't move around and still allow me to flip through them.
Packs go in One-touch resealable bags and those go in toploader 4-pocket pages.
Packs are completely secure and don't move at all.
It's hard to see in this picture but these toploader pages actually have an extra lip on the top to stop the any packs from every falling out for added protection.
