Since it was unknown at the time, though, Panini included redemptions in 2012-13 Limited and Certified, which would be good for rookies after they made their debut. However, since it turned out that their "rookie cards" would not be produced until the 2013-14 collecting season, these will be considered XRCs for the players involved.
I actually managed to do a redemption replacement for one of them, but I had three remaining. After getting all three in, here's a quick look at them:
Pittsburgh Penguins - Beau Bennett/Olli Maatta 181/499
Toronto Maple Leafs - Morgan Rielly 69/499
New York Rangers - J.T. Miller & Jesper Fast
These are actually good looking cards and fit right in with the base set design. I do, however, wish that they would have just kept it to one player per card, like they did with the Rielly, but if these aren't true RCs anyway, what does it really matter? Anyway, the Bennett/Maatta is staying with me, but the others are up for trade, if anyone''s interested.
Nice cards! I'd possibly be interested in doing a small PWE trade for the Rielly. Let me know, thanks! -Kyle
ReplyDeleteI am glad I decided against getting mine now that I see what they were. I was really hoping they would be autographed much like Limited Rookies usually are. In my opinion they are true rookies, the NHLPA and card companies are clearly trying to convince people that this year is the real year and last year doesn't count...silly if you ask me.
