SPGU Micro-Swatch Materials

[steveottfan]

I haven't heard anything about these cards until randomly coming across one this week. Since I think they're new and different, I wanted to share what I found. With Upper Deck e-Packs, if you complete certain subsets, you can get awarded 'achievement' cards. In 2019-20 Upper Deck SPGU, these were some of the cards you could be awarded. I've found four different cards. (not mine, just the scans)
As you can see from the scans, what makes these cards unique is that they each contain 22 'micro-swatch' jersey pieces.

So in just 4 cards there are 88 jersey pieces!

Kudos to Upper Deck for thinking outside the box here.

Those are really nice. I have to have one for my PC now haha.

Definitely innovative.

And certainly an inventive way to deal with excess jersey swatches which would otherwise be too small to use in a card--

Very cool, I dig it!

It would be cool if UD did a "Starting Lineup" set with this idea. They could even do this with various decades/timelines in order to use up random memorabilia they still have of guys who aren't in the NHL anymore and bring back some memories.

Example: Oilers 80's, Leafs 90, 00's, 2010's, etc, etc.

Plenty of ideas and teams to create.

I kind of like them. Something new- nice looking, can't complain.

I came in wanting to hate on this ... but I like it! I agree with BrookIsland, it's a solid way to use up those little remnants and who's going to complain when you get that many?

Who's going to complain? Player collectors... lol

Regardless... I saw them a while back on e-pack and thought it was a great idea. I like them too. I do wonder if they'll ever make them an in pack pull.

I like this idea a lot. I rather this than a booklet.
