2014 Upper Deck National Hockey Card Day
Overview
Who doesn't like free cards? As in "Thanks for stopping by. Here, have some cards!" free. 2014 Upper Deck National Hockey Card Day returns on Saturday, January 18 in both Canada and the United States. All collectors need to do is go to a participating shop and they're receive a pack of exclusive cards.
Like last year, 2014 Upper Deck National Hockey Card Day sets are completely different on both sides of the border. Each has an expanded checklist of 21 cards, but they're all different. Capitalizing on the double-rookie class, they are a big focus for both the Canadian and American sets. Rookies make up half of the pack-inserted cards.
Other Canadian subsets include Pride of Canada and Hockey Heroes. American packs also have Stars in Stripes and American Icons cards.
Card #21 for both sets can't be found in packs. They're available as a gift for those who spend $10 at participating shops. Each of these Memorable Moments cards has two rookies on them.
2014 Upper Deck National Hockey Card Day packs come with five cards. Collectors can also hunt for randomly inserted autographs.
Canadian London Drugs and Toys 'R Us as well as other select partners have special eight-card sheets.
This marks the sixth year for the program in Canada and the third in the United States.
The National Hockey Card Day website has a full list of participating stores.

Are these cards cut oddly. I noticed some of the cards a lot shorter than others. Is this a product wide issue? Canada & USA. Thank you.
