Seeded at a difficult 1:2,500 packs across Series One and Series Two, the 13-card Upper Deck Game Jerseys checklist featured a stacked group of NHL stars and helped establish the modern jersey-card era for NHL.

Upper Deck followed its groundbreaking football and hockey Game Jersey releases with baseball’s first major game-used jersey insert set in 1997 with a limited 3 card release - the Ken Griffey Jr. card being the big pull.

Like the equivalent basketball set, I love this design and the checklist. Full of hockey HOFers, a generational rookie class (Crosby and Ovechkin) and a larger checklist than the basketball sibling (80 cards vs 42 cards), this has been a fun set chase.

The hockey equivalent of basketball's Exquisite, Crosby's RPA from The Cup is one of the most important modern hockey cards. Established The Cup as the premium NHL product with a 191 card checklist (100 card base set and 91 rookie set).

Topps released a Framed Mini Autos subset as part of 2012 Allen & Ginter's. The set featured baseball players and non-baseball celebrities on tobacco-sized cards, with a diverse checklist making it one of the best Allen & Ginter autograph years.

Upper Deck released an NHL retro version of the popular 2003/04 basketball Ultimate Signatures set celebrating the 20th anniversary. Originally a 36-card checklist, 10 more cards were added in an update set.
