- Presenting -- McDonald's Uppper Deck All-Star Collector Series
-
- The Hype: "The McDonald's Upper Deck All-Star Collector Series consists
- of a limited edition set of 27 NHL All-Star Player Cards, plus an exclusive
- Hologram Card subset featuring 6 NHL post-season 1st team All-Stars.
- We've even included a checlist card. Look for these exciting Hologram Cards
- randomly inserted in a limited number of our packs. Collect all 33
- McDonald's Upper Deck Limited Edition Cards."
-
- The Cards: The regular cards are a considerable improvement over last years.
- The player's pictures seem crisper, the player selection is considerably
- better, and the card design is improved. Last year, the back of the card
- had a "compressed" photo of the player that filled roughly half of the back
- of the card. This year, the photo is stretched length wise across the
- back of the card and the width was reduced. A write up in both French and
- English is included. The write-ups also seemed to be much improved over
- last year, providing more pertinent information about the player. The
- holograms are not "stickers" anymore, rather cards. The holograms are
- nicely designed with the player in action in the inset, and the player's
- face enlarged in the back ground that provides a good effect. As was
- mentioned up top, the holograms are randomly inserted instead of one
- per pack as was done last year. Regular Cards are number McD - XX while
- holograms are numbered McH - 0X
-
- Collation: Typical Upper Deck collation. Terrible. In four packs I
- received back to back doubles of the same card. In one pack I got:
- Sakic, Lemieux, Lemieux, and Sakic. I'm not complaining :-) but it
- makes it harder to complete a set. I opened 15 packs and I didn't
- receive any cards of Kirk Muller, Owen Nolan, Mike Richter, and
- Scott Stevens. I did receive two holograms of Patrick Roy and Ray
- Bourque. Here's how it all broke down for the 15 packs I purchased:
-

-
- Other Comments: Absentees this year include Wayne Gretzky, Mark
- Recchi and
- Pat LaFontaine. Mark Messier, Kevin Stevens and Brian Leetch were featured
- in the hologram cards but not in the regular cards. Notable players in
- the set include Fedorov, Roenick, Jagr, Lemieux, Mogilny, and Nolan.
- Overall, a pretty good set. If collect hockey cards, this is a must-have
- set, especially those hologram cards.
