- There is also an UNNUMBERED checklist card thereby making this a 34
- card set. There is also an error on this checklist. Brian Leetch is
- McH 04 and Ray Bourque is McH 05 instead of the other way around.

- Collation is indeed truly awful. I have even seen three of the same
- card in one pack. Even with a bigger sampling, the distribution is
- not very good. I have gone through 35 packs (140 cards) in the last
- two days and have ranged from a low of 2 cards of Brian Bellows
- (McD 02) and Trevor Linden (McD 09) to a high of 11 cards of Kirk
- Muller (McD 23). As of the randomly inserted holograms, my luck has
- not been much different than Alan's. I been able to get 6 holograms
- but already have 2 duplicates. Averaging it out among all my friends,
- the odds of getting a hologram in a pack is about 1 in 7.5.
