We feel either one of the hockey boxes has it over any 02 baseball but then we are boycotting baseball so we might be slightly biased.
We completed the 01-02 Topps Heritage Hockey set.We are planning on doing the 02-03 also.Buy some boxes of that so we can help each other put the set together.Have fun with whatever you decide!HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

Bobstar- I was looking at some hockey boxes, and might pick one up anyway. I'm not too thrilled with the look of the base set of this year's Heritage, the BAP looks ok, but I'd probably go for a Canada Hobby box of UD1 if I went hockey.

<< <i>Anyone with an opinion on T206? >>
Posted this on the Message Boards at Topps, and got this reply:
"If i were you I would go for the topps 206. I know that these boxes may be a little cashy, but its history. You get not 1 but 2 game used/auto 20 minis and 120 regular cards and 18 team 206 cards. I bought a box and loved what i got. I even pulled a original 206 (very nice by the way) If you want to keep the inserts you could nearly build the set and sell it, or keep it and buy series 1 and 3. LMK what you buy. thanks."
I love the way the cards look in T206, and the Game-Used sets look nice as well, but the autos in SPA really catch my as well...what to do...
