The Anticipation Builds for Between the Pipes(Toronto, ON; February 26 , 2002); Good things come to those who are patient!In the Game, Inc., the manufacturer of the Be A Player brands of hockey cards, has announced its upcoming release of Between the Pipes, history's first all-goalie trading card set, has been delayed for six days. However, before you can actually say Nikolai Khabibilin, the new release date of March 5 will be upon us. "What it comes down to is you just can't rush Dufex," explained Dr. Brian H. Price, President of In the Game. "One of the primary attractions in Between the Pipes is The Mask insert cards. These are produced using Dufex technology and they are actually printed in England. "Any time components for any product are manufactured overseas, there is an increased risk of delay. There were a few logistical problems and The Mask cards were a little slow in arriving during the packaging process. I'm happy to say everything has arrived and the resulting delay in the release date is a relatively minor one." One of the most popular hockey card inserts of the 1990s, "The Mask" is a 30-card insert set featuring some of the most memorable designs from many of the greatest and most colourful goalies the game has ever seen. While the base version is purple in color, you can also look for scarce parallel versions done in both Silver (300) and Gold (30). Between the Pipes also includes no fewer than 12 memorabilia insert sets, each adorned with a piece of game-used equipment. Greats of today and legends of the past are included in these inserts, names such as Patrick Roy, Dominik Hasek, Terry Sawchuk, Jacques Plante, Glenn Hall and Georges Vezina. The base set of Between the Pipes consists of 150 cards featuring all of today's star goaltenders, and subsets featuring "netcam" photography, Vezina Trophy winners, and Hall-of-Famers. In the Game, Inc. has produced the Be A Player brands of hockey trading cards since 1998-99. Their lineup of products for 2001-02 includes The Memorabilia Series (released August 2001), Parkhurst (released December 2001), The Signature Series, The Ultimate Memorabilia 2nd Edition, and The Update Series in addition to Between the Pipes.
