Non-Sport Inserts in UD's 2011 Parkhurst Champions Hockey
Stumbled across this bit of information on the upcoming 2011 Parkhurst Champions Hockey set from Upper Deck:

quote:
Upper Deck is also bringing back one of the most popular elements of the Champ’s set with the inclusion of rare Champ’s Fossil and Artifacts redemption cards. Among the wild and wooly artifacts are an ancient cave bear tooth (still embedded in a jaw bone), the brain cavity of an Auroch, teeth from prehistoric creatures like the Spinosaurus and collectible coins dating back to Ancient Greece and the Roman Empire.

“Our new 2011 NHL Parkhurst Champions product is absolutely loaded with some of the most compelling NHL trading cards in recent y2011 Parkhurst Masterpieces Orrears,” said Josh Zusman, Upper Deck’s Hockey brand manager. “It pays honor to retired NHL superstars with superb imagery for autograph cards and the new ‘Parkhurst Masterpiece’ cards are going to really blow fans away. With the inclusion of the Champ’s Fossil and Artifacts redemption cards, 2011 NHL Parkhurst Champions represents a tremendous value for collectors.”


Also of interest for those liking original art:

quote:
A new type of NHL card debuts in 2011 Parkhurst Champions with hand-painted “Parkhurst Masterpiece” cards, featuring a selection of 30 NHL legends and limited to just 10 copies each. The backs are also autographed by the artist.


I know it's Hockey, but it's something to be on the lookout for.

Collecting Sketches of the Character Crystal

Those cards are really nice if they are similar to past issues. Just like the Entemology cards they also put out. They would be neat to have but too expensive for something I don't really collect.

They are cool, but pricey. I just picked up 2 of the common fossils from last year for $25 each, which was a steal. They normally are $40+ . . .

Very cool set, but expensive, and some of the cards are insanely limited, so set collecting is only for folks with deep pockets, I've seen some of these top $1000.

I guess that is why the redemptions are always over $100.
