Trade #6 - The Goalie Controversy

Recently, Sal from Puck Junk and I worked on a nice small trade that sent some nice additions either way. What I was not expecting were the extra goodies he kindly threw in. These were especially cool since I hadn't seen any of these cards prior to this!


Kick ass sticker!


These are neat, I guess they're part of some sort of card/hockey game. Kinda like an older version of the Puck Attax game cards. Probably would've played these if I knew about these in elementary school.


This card was traded for my Erik Condra YG card. A nice pic of Richard Brodeur and from a fairly regular sub-set in OPC.

Now we can consider the last two cards from the trade and thus the reason for my title - "The Goalie Controversy".

I really am split as to what I want to happen and what I think will happen. There are great arguments on both sides. But as for now let's see which goalie won out of these two cards. Starting with Bobby Lu...



Roberto's card is from this year's Upper Deck Series 1 and is a nice clean blue swatch. Only thing I don't like about these cards is how small the swatch of jersey is. But still a nice addition to the Goalie Project and my growing GU collection.



I've been hunting down this card for awhile. This one card is really the one I was looking for in this otherwise mediocre set from Panini. Again this cards come with a nice clean blue swatch. This card also gets extra points for having a bigger swatch window. The designs of these cards are actually really nice. The front has team colours which I'm a big fan of and the up close shot of Schneids mask and face is pretty cool on the back. 

Although these are both fairly generic GU cards, I think Schneider has the edge in this showdown.

Thanks for the great trade Sal and I'm looking forward to making more in the future!
