In this series I will be giving away FREE cards in each and every episode. How do you get your hands on these free cards? It's simple. I pick a product for each episode and write about the it. I will then show a card I got in a pack(s) from the specific product and tell the story behind it. I am asking you to read my review and make one of your own through your response.
I am looking for creative responses with good stories. It is not so much about the card but the awesome story behind it. I don't care if it is a base card, although a patch or something may get you some brownie points. It's the story that really matters.
Pictures are encouraged
Whoever gives the best response will win a free card from the product that is featured in the episode.
Ready. Set. Read and respond!
Review
Artifacts
If you watch my videos or know me at all,
you understand how I feel about the product Artifacts... I love it!
Even the base cards are gorgeous. Well,
besides the fact that you can't read the player's name on the card. But look at
it this way, it tests your knowledge of identifying players. However, the
design really disintegrates the hate you may have for the unreadable names. I
mean this in the way that the design is so nice, you couldn't really care less
about the names. Maybe that is just how I feel. The base design along with
almost every other set in the product has a sort of shattered glass
back round. I think this really makes the card pop, but in the same way, stay contained. It isn't too much on the eyes, but enough to intrigue you. Overall, I am very fond of the design.
The best part of Artifacts must be its
beautiful patches. There are also some amazing sets. I mean, who doesn't like
all the 1/1 sets in this product? The triple tag, the dual tag, and the
patch/tag/autograph. You can get the black auto that is limited to five. You
can even get black base cards. Clearly, the sets in this product are also a
strong point.
If I haven't expressed my love for this
product enough than I must bring up the players that are in the product. It has
a lot of highly collected players such as Hall, Eberle, Seguin, Crosby, Stamkos and of course,
Gretzky. The players play a huge roll in the awesomeness of this product.
Pack Attack
My pack attack pull came from a box I
opened. The story is pretty funny. I had always loved Artifacts and wanted a
box of my own. Here is one card I pulled.... Oh and it's a 1/1.....
I was originally going to use the box in a group
break but no one would join. As disappointed as I was, (granted I wasn't too disappointed) I just had a great feeling about the box. So I asked the guys on blog with me if they thought I should keep the box for myself. After all, I had always loved the product and never had a box before. They all insisted I opened it. I decided I would. I went upstairs on the couch with my brother and opened it. Then I opened a pack, it was thick. The thick card was no decoy. No sir. So I took a peek and there was black on the card. Now I was really excited. I told my brother to grab the camera and we ran to my room. He started recording and..... well, I will let you see the rest......
Yup, pretty embarrassing but it was fun!
That is my story. I hope you enjoyed and
let's hear yours!
Bonus
I have to show a video of the runner-up
card....
The winners will be determined on June 1 2013
