Does anyone know if there were major changes to the original checklist for this set. My preliminary CL had the following Frank Mahovlich cards included;
base #25
Habs Inks #Habs-FM
AKA Auto # AKA-FM
HOF Induction Inks # HOF-FM
Dual Signatures w/ Peter #DUAL-MM

The UD site shows only the base card included. This answers my question why no Big M cards other than base have surfaced thus far.
Any info on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Dan.
 
Most likely didn't get them back in time. Was either scrapped from the set or they'll show up as redemption replacements down the road.

There were some pretty notable changes made from the early checklist. I recall there being a Price/Roy and a Price/Vachon dual auto. Sadly, neither made it to the final product (imagine how much the Carey/Patrick would fetch?) that we got last week. If I had to drop a couple bucks I'd assume that there's some sort of rules preventing Senator Mahovlich from signing for the product.
 
The possibility is that when the release date was put back, Upper Deck intention was to have these cards signed at the All-Star game in Montreal by whoever was there from the Canadiens' alumni and if you were a no show, then it was a no go.
Also we would not have to deal with the redemption process, thus eliminate another headache for Upper Deck but not pleasing everyone since some players (past and present) were omitted.
