Balls

 Last pack from the 2021-22 Upper Deck Extended hockey cards and we get to look at some more new to me base cards, and some balls.


Another solid bunch of base card additions including more newer team cards like Seattle and Las Vegas being covered of course, but let's talk balls.


That's a lot of balls. Okay, maybe we can call them globes or something, but I just see balls. Almost reminds me of one of the cosmic ball hologram stamps from Upper Deck in the early 90s, except here, it's a bit overwhelming.

Needless to say, not my favourite design, though still a decent pull as they pop up every 20 packs. Actually, a decent blaster all in as you can see it marked well below given a few solid inserts.

Lundell has done well for himself being with Florida for 3 years prior to the 2024-25 season, signing a 6 year deal with them after the Stanley Cup win. Not too bad for being just three years into the league - just hope that winning the Cup so early had the magnitude it still deserves in case he doesn't get another one in his career.

  1. The round holograms on the back of early 90's UD cards were the first thing that popped into my head.
