Great choice (pun?) of goalie card to top your article.
cheers
Actually, that was unintentional, but funny now that you mention it. I just liked the close-up shot of Price.
I bought a box of these awhile back because it was so damn cheap and I thought that they were pretty nice for the price. There are a few cards in the set that are worth a couple bucks, so it makes them a little collectible.
These and Victory are nice cheap cards for the collector on a budget, like me.
Yeah, I know. They are affordable if you have no intentions on collecting all 300 cards. But a buck a pack sure is nice.
