Hey what's up y'all SK SportsCards here. This video was on the Tim Horton's Upper Deck hockey card series. I've been collecting these for a couple of years now although I didn't really get serious into it until the 18-19 edition came out. These cards were available at all participating Tim Horton's restaurants during the month of November so it's been sometimes since I compiled this set but I was able to get all the base cards. So anyways I also bought the book. It was $15 which I thought was a little steep but whenever it's a part of the collection and just give you a quick run through through this. I'm not going to profile every single card in here. It would just be too long but just flipping through it real quick you can see that I was able to get every single one of the base set. There's 120 cards in the base set and I think they picked 120 of the best players in the league or the most significant players in the league. So these are all all stars or near all stars. The funny thing is despite all the packs that I bought depending on what location you're in sometimes you get the same card over and over again and other times you never get. It was weird because like I would get like last year I would get like 10 Shaywebbers but then there would be a couple players who I never got and it wasn't until I left my town and went somewhere else on vacation about some packs I started getting other cards. So what happened is there was a trading event at one of the Tim Horton's restaurants near my house. I brought all my doubles and was able to make some trades and then there was this lady who just went gangbusters and dropped some must-been hundreds of dollars on cards and she had so many doubles, triples, quadruples that she just said here go and just finish your set and just let me do it for free. So that's how I was able to finish the set. Overall my impression of these these particular cards is I'm a little disappointed with the quality and I can give you an example of that. Overall they're very attractive from the front. A little bit of glitter on there but overall nice look from the front of the card. The issue I have is just how they kind of curl up and they're like that straight out of the pack. So it's not that they were racked or there was any water damage. They literally are curled out of like fresh out of the pack. So I'm not really sure what uppercut was thinking with that and given that it's a dollar for a pack of only three cards and in reality you only get two cards in a pack because what's gonna happen is one of the cards is a special card and that could be something really crazy or it could be something pretty mundane. Like for example these game day action cards like these are a dime a dozen and the stupid checklists with the San Jose All Star logo on the front. I mean there's ass loans of these out here and it's just way too many. So most of those are throwaways but yeah I was able to build the whole set and then there's out of that you also have the superstar showcase cards. I was able to get most of those. I don't think I got them all. Carrie Price, Blake Wheeler, Brock Bozer, Taylor Hall, Clujero, Eric Carlson, so on and so forth. Those cards I think there's one out of six packs containing the superstar showcase cards. The game day action ones I'm really not a fan of but then there's these ones, gold etchings. Now for some reason I got Steve Stamcoes pretty much every time I bought a pack and I'm not joking. I had like seven Steve Stamcoes cards. I was giving them away but I was unable to get Conor McDavid. I was unable to get Johnny Goudro but when I went up to Owen Sound I hit up a Tim Hortons up there and about 20 packs and all of a sudden I started getting all these gold etchings cards that I wasn't able to get in my hometown. Nathan McKinnon, really cool little feature. I think these were one in eight or one in nine with the odds of getting these cards. A couple other things. These ones are even more wearer the ClearCut Phenoms. Now the base cards I've been complaining about, and other people have been complaining about the quality of the base cards. When it comes to their inserts like the special sets that are within the set, the quality is just amazing. I've got most of these ClearCut Phenoms. That's David Pastinick. Nicholas Ellers. Brock Bozer. Matthew Barzel. Dylan Larkin. Leon Dryzettel. Matthew Kachock. Patrick Linae. The guy who's addicted to Fortnite. Oh he cares about his playing Fortnite. That's a care about playing hockey. Jack Ikel. I just love the quality of these. I put these in top loaders but on the back you don't get much information. I mean it's pretty much just translucent but these cards are exceptional quality and a lot of them if you're looking in Beckett hockey news they have some significant value. Now here's what really blew my mind. Boom. Boom. Top line talent Sidney Crosby. Okay so top line talent the odds were like one in 27 or something. One in 30 packs. I was buying tons of packs. Never got a top line talent. I bought 10 packs at a store way up North and one I just kind of believe it. I popped this open and like I was like what? Sidney Crosby top line talent what? This is the most valuable card in the whole set. Last I checked on eBay it was going between 30 and 60 bucks. I just blew my mind. I couldn't believe I got this card. I thought about selling it because I'm not a huge hockey car person. I'm more in the baseball but I probably hold on to it because I really don't have any real Sidney Crosby stuff at all so thought me as a hold on to that one. And there's a few cards from last year. The last year did. That was a 17-18 platinum profiles. I was wishing I hope they would have brought this back for 18-19 but they didn't. There's Austin Matthews and Hammock Lundquist Crosby. Again the quality of these was vastly surpasses the base cards in the set. And I think that's really what the collectors are looking for is you okay you get the base cards whatever you can fill a book up with them but what people really looking for is these. And then instead of top line talent they did these triple exposure which was kind of the same idea. Kind of has that kind of early 90s kind of reflective look to it but here's Brad Martian. As I move it I wonder if you can see that there's three different exposures. And then here's another one I got for Patrick Kane. It's hard to see in the camera but when you move it the player moves. So that was from the 17-18 set. A lot of a lot of car dealers have commented on how the Tim Horton set has really brought people back into the hobby. So many people are trying to complete their collections going to see a car dealer to buy a couple of cards to round out their collection and then see other cards on display that they're interested in. So it's been great and reviving the hobby at least up here in Canada. Anyways please like, comment and subscribe. I am looking forward to participating next year and buying some more of these. If any of you are into Tim Horton's cards I would love to hear your opinions on the quality of the cards and what you would like to see upper deck do next season. I'd really like to see upper deck kind of punch it up quality-wise but that's me. Anyways guys peace out and keep on collecting.
