Unfortunately, i believe this is a Canada only promotion. I know there is lots of Canadians on this site though, so i posted it for them in case they did not know/forgot.


What is National Hockey card day???


It is a promotion they run every year and put out a 15 card set including this year's top Canadian born rookies including Jamie Benn, John Tavares, Evander Kane and a couple others. The rest of the set is made up of current and retired Canadian Superstars like Wayne Gretzky, Jarome Iginla and Sidney Crosby. The set comes in 5 card packs and the packs are given away for free (Supposed to be 1 per person, but i remember last year some stores would give you 2 or 3 packs) from Toys R Us, London Drugs, Rexall and a couple other drug stores/Quickie Marts i cant remember off hand. Also there will be a long list of card shops that are involved and will be handing out the free packs as well. Me and my GF will hit a few of these places up trying to get a free John Tavares RC.

Here is more info about National Hockey Card Day and this special set!!

I'll definitely have to check out a few LCS's and pick up some. Always a great concept and a hit with collectors.

I might hit up ToysRUs to check it out, I don't think my local shops are in on it.

What are the chances that some fine upstanding Canadian citizen would be willing to send a pack or two to the states?

Depending on who and how many i get i will probably hook up player collectors with their player if he is in this set. Some places are very strict on the one pack person rule, so depending on how many places i go to i might only end up with a couple packs, but hopefully i will get a few and be able to help some of you out.

A few days away, the 30th is actually this Saturday which is really good because ill have more time to try and hit up a couple of the places that are participating in this.

If you live in the USA and there is a player that you collect thats gonna be in this set, lmk who you are looking for and i will try and grab u a copy.

I just want to remind everyone to spend some extra time today with your favorite Hockey cards and don't forget to tell them how important they are to you on this special day

Happy National Hockey Card Day to you Bilko and all the other Canadians. good luck with youur packs and don't forget to share with us what you pull.

I just read on the Pens website that we get free Penguins Upper Deck Trading Cards on March 2nd. I have several of these sets from the last few seasons and always enjoy getting free cards.

 

[G $MONEY$]

Hahaha, yeah i will post the packs when i get them, im gonna go out here in about an hour or so to try and get a few. I just found out its also Hockey Day in Canada today, 3 straight games on the CBC today, i think all the Canadian teams are playing each other

:shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:

Upper Deck just announced on their Twitter page that they randomly inserted Crosby auto's into the National Hockey card day packs.

Enjoying National Hockey Card Day? If you haven't heard, we got a little sneaky and inserted autograph cards of a huge player. Guess who?

If you guessed Sidney Crosby, you are right. If you live in Canada and haven't gotten your packs, better head out now!
