The most sought
after memorabilia cards in the hockey industry
return with Upper Deck’s 2005/2006 SP
Game Used Hockey.
 With
an outstanding one memorabilia card in every
pack the return of SPGU matches the excitement
of the return of the NHL.
The complete 100-card regular set of 2005-06
SP Game Used Hockey features a wide variety
of combinations with low numbering to ensure
high break values for collectors.
In addition, collectors can find “hot
boxes” containing a rookie in every pack.
If that isn’t enough to satisfy the hard-core
collector, there will also be “hot boxes”
with a collection of memorabilia cards numbered
to 100. And autographs numbered to 100, combining
to deliver one in every pack.
Memorabilia highlights include: Authentic Fabrics
(single, dual) as well as Authentic Autographs
and Authentic Fabrics Dual Autographs. Look
for a Wayne Gretzky/Gordie Howe Authentic Fabrics
Dual autograph card, guaranteed to be a classic.
Sixty of the most exciting 2005/2006 rookies
are featured in the Rookie Exclusives insert
set that is sure to keep the hobbyist searching
for their favorite stars cards. There will also
be an autographed parallel of the Regular Authentic
Rookie cards numbered to five, showcasing many
of the fine, young superstars from this year’s
stellar class. Crosby and Ovechkin’s Rookie
Exclusives cards are currently booking for $300
and $200 respectively.
“2005-06 SP Game Used Hockey is a great
set for the serious collector to invest in,”
