Hockey Card Day in Canada Autographs
I thought I'd write something about it since the information about the autographed cards weren't in the Upper Deck press release earlier this year.
Hockey Card Day returned for another year on February the 12th. The typical set has 15 cards:
Rookies: Talor Hall, Tyler Seguin, Jeff Skinner, Jordan Eberle and P.K. Subban.
Pride: Jason Spezza, Dion Phaneuf, Jarome Iginla, Roberto Luongo and Sidney Crosby.
Heroes: Patrick Roy, Mario Lemieux, Gordie Howe, Bobby Orr and Wayne Gretzky.
These cards were found in 5-card packs they were giving out on that day. Each pack also contained a Checklist promoting the then-upcoming Heritage Classic game between the Montreal Canadiens and the Calgary Flames.
If you bought a Upper Deck product on that day, you would receive a special card featuring Jonathan Toews holding the Stanley Cup.
Autographs
Some packs also contained some autographed cards of Taylor Hall, Sidney Crosby and Bobby Orr. The autos were made on stickers.
The only information I could get was off eBay sellers. Here are the priced that were asked when I wrote this article:
Hall: 300-500 $
Crosby: 250-425 $
Orr: 300 $
It's hard to tell how much of each were made, since they're not numbered like the Crosby auto from the 2010 Hockey Card Day.
