In The Game Identifies "Short-Print" Autographed Cards in NHL Franchises(Toronto, ON; April 1, 2005): In The Game, Inc., manufacturers of NHL-licensed hockey cards, is identifying which Autographed cards from their recently issued NHL Franchises brands, have smaller circulation numbers than others.NHL Franchises - Canadian Edition was released on February 28 and included a total of 104 different cards in a special Autograph set. A total of 19 of those cards are available in shorter supply. NHL Franchises - U.S. West Edition was released March 31. That product has 102 different cards in the Autograph set, 19 of which are available in shorter supply. "It was not our intent to dispense any of this information," explained In The Game President Dr. Brian Price, "because the market usually does an effective job of identifying which cards are in greatest demand. However, NHL Franchises has been an extremely popular product and a number of collectors made a compelling argument for identifying which cards are the short prints and how this would be a service to the hobby. We listened and as a result, this information is now available." The Autograph cards are seeded at a rate of one per 16 packs in both the Canadian Edition and U.S. West Edition of NHL Franchises. The lists are as follows:
SHORT PRINTS IN NHL FRANCHISES - U.S. WEST EDITION
SHORT PRINTS IN NHL FRANCHISES - CANADIAN EDITION
Both editions of NHL Franchises also offer 150-card base sets, and 10 different game-used memorabilia card sets. The game-used cards are inserted at a rate of one per 20 packs. A third edition, NHL Franchises - U.S. East Edition, is scheduled for release on April 28. |
