I know there are people out there in internet-land who are just as excited about this news as I am, UPPERDECK SERIES 1 is in stock now!

Upperdeck’s flagship brand and the “Home of the Rookie Card” has been released. Each box contains 6 rookie cards, the first rookie cards of Steven Stamkos, Luke Schenn, Kyle Turris, and many more!

Here’s a sneak peak at what you could get:

—$3.95 for a 8 card pack, or $79.95 for a 24 pack box. Get them now, the rookie’s are going to be HOT!

You heard it right, Toys on Fire will be sponsoring the St. Joseph’s High School Hockey Night with the Ottawa 67′s! Here’s the rundown:

Friday, October 24th

7:30PM at the Civic Centre

Ottawa 67′s take on the Sarnia Sting

All proceeds go towards St. Joe’s High School Project, and the Shepherds of Good Hope!

And last but not least, tickets are $10 ONLY at Toys on Fire! You’d be paying $15 at the box office, but we got ourselves a special deal. Don’t pass up the opportunity the see some great hockey, and support some good causes!

I am sure everyone in Ottawa has been anxiously awaiting the new hockey season, if only to put the memory of last years horrendous season behind us, but with the new season, comes new hockey card products!

Upperdeck has released a brand new product (To Hockey collectors atleast, this is a familiar product for baseball collectors), UD Black! This is a very high end product, which comes with 2 packs, and 2 cards per pack. It’s a very big gamble, but some of the cards in this product are simply amazing, and well worth the money.

This product is not for everyone, but I know everyone likes to see what can be in one of these boxes, so, here are some of the cards on eBay that have already been pulled, some real nice stuff in this set:

It’s certainly out of my price range, so I will not be purchasing it, so, someone has to come buy the 4 boxes we received…

Alexei Kovalev (Montreal Canadiens)

Ryan Smyth (Colorado Avalanche)

Tony Esposito (Montreal Canadiens) I am not sure how he snuck in here, he only played 17 games for Montreal…

Grant Fuhr (Toronto Maple Leafs, Calgray Flames) They decided to give him 2 figures for some reason…

Don Cherry (Coach Uniform)

That’s all for now, check back when series 20 comes out in October!
