Well I can't say I'm loving the front of the card. First of all the photography sucks, they're all photos of players turning or skating forward...BORING! I like the team colours and the logo on the bottom right, but it seems like the O-Pee-Chee logo is more important then the players name. I'm also not a fan of the silver and white logo pattern around the top, left and right of the card. The back doesn't get any better. No colour, no picture, no fun! With rookies and young players there is way to much blank space, but anyways they gave the old school look a try. Only positive on the back is the subtle logo behind the stats.

Well this is a little better, I really like the colours and the simple retro border on the front, the subtle OPC symbol on the bottom right, and they added French on the front of the card. Now let's look at the back, at first glance it doesn't look terrible. Theres a little bit of colour, the stats are clearly stated....BUT...can someone please, please, please tell me why they didn't include the entire year-by-year stats! Look how much space there is! It's ridiculous, but watcha gonna do!

These were my favorite cards out of the bunch, only thing I could do without is the pattern around the front of the card. As for the back of the card, pretty much the same deal as the base card except for the "Legend" or "Marquee Rookie" popping out of the back. Although, I really like the French text again!

Weeellllll...pretty much all the same here. All three different cards look kind of messy in the front, the backs all look the same...boring.

It was nice to incorporate the ladies into this parallel. Not a bad design on the front or on the back. Mediocre though, kinda like the entire set.
