After a long hiatus, I'm back with the fourth batch of cards I received from Billy at
Cardboard History. This pack had 29 cards, most of them from this year's Upper Deck set. Here's a few highlights:
 |
| 2017-18 Upper Deck #4 Kevin Bieksa |
I know what you're thinking, and I'm here to lay down the truth - that kid behind him is definitely picking his nose! Congrats, kid, you're famous!
 |
| 2017-18 Upper Deck #48 Nathan MacKinnon |
What a great photo! It's always great to see players interacting with fans, but this takes it a step further by showing MacKinnon taking the jersey off his back and signing it for someone. Awesome!
 |
| 2017-18 Upper Deck #176 William Nylander |
That hat can only mean one thing - Winter Classic! If I owned a team, they'd wear those over their helmets all the time, even indoors!
 |
| 2001-02 Pacific heads Up #56 Martin Brodeur |
Martin Brodeur's goal-tending skills are every bit mesmerizing as this card. Shiny!
 |
| 1992-93 Fleer Ultra #116 Scott Niedermayer |
I don't care if it's junk wax era, it a rookie Hall of Famer!
 |
| 1989-90 O-Pee-Chee #88 Luc Robitaille |
Another Hall of Famer. I like the side borders with the blue a lot, but the red name plate just clashes too much...
With this pack, I'm halfway through all the goodies Billy gave me! Let's see how my collection is coming along. Here are before and after screen captures from the TCDB:

This year's Upper Deck maintains the top spot, but the Victory set drops to a 3 way tie for 4th. I suspect it'll drop even further down before this is done.

The Sabres have taken their rightful spot atop my collection, and all is well with the world...

Upper Deck is the king of hockey, but it's fun to see the variety of brands I have now!
As always, thanks Billy! This series may very well last longer than the NHL playoffs!
