X marks the spot

Before today's Santa Lot 20, a quick Listia pickup. I got these group of 5 cards for about 65 cents US when all is said and done. I had three already, but for the value in Listia points, again, just had to pick these up.

I like the Reimer card best, nice and slightly off the norm pic.

With the Santa Lot 20 today, we have seen a couple Spx cards from 2005-06, and have half a dozen today...

Highlights:

They don't scan the best, but are nice and shiny in hand and much easier to read. Enjoy Shanahan and Zetterberg as well. The card design is fine, but I always find it difficult to have a great shot when they just pull the player from the full action shot.

The rest
Keepers:

Nice to get further completion on a larger set - the 2007-08 Upper Deck base set. I should pull the checklist card which has the four poses of Joe Thornton - I think a couple of those shots were better than the one they used on his card. The Ty card is another raiser of the question "who collects this" - Red Wing team collectors, Pittsburg, or both?

Traders:

Best card here would be the new set introduced with what is 2008 Upper Deck Draft Edition football. First card pulled and I like the almost full front card picture, and keeping the detail otherwise to a minimal amount.
