In
retrospect I was probably a little rough on Superlative, but c'mon, I was basing it solely on the marketing that had been done by ITG. So for that I stand by my opinions.
However, now that the product has been released, there are definitely some bright spots. I guess I can't be too critical since I haven't bought any packs/boxes/books, but the two things that has stood out the most were... well, let me give you some visual clues (all pics admittedly stolen from current eBay auctions):
And this one:
Then this one:
And we'll add this one:
And lastly:
Give up yet? So what's the significance? Well, it is two-fold:
1) They used different pics for each card--something somewhat different for ITG; and
2) They used pics of the player in the correct team jersey, in that it matches the patch or jersey piece
Very minor, but as a former player collector, something I picked up on right away.
I noticed that this also holds true for the most part with other multi-team players such as Brett Hull, Roy, and Thornton.
I did see a Quad Patch card with Forsberg, though. It has what appears to be an Avs patch piece, but he's shown in a Team Sweden jersey.
There are probably plenty of other exceptions like this, but sometimes people notice the little things about the players they collect. Or at least I did.
