The Hottest 2012-13 SP Game Used Hockey Cards
With an expansive mix of autographs, high-end memorabilia cards and other key content, it didn't take long for collectors to take to 2012-13 SP Game Used Hockey. The fact that its release coincided with the end of the NHL's labor dispute also helps.
The main draw of the set are the hits. The set's new configuration delivers either an autograph or memorabilia card in every pack. While there are plenty of cards with plain jersey swatches, there are also a lot of multi-player cards and cards with unique pieces. Low-numbered patches and over-sized stick pieces are just some of the possibilities. 2012-13 SP Game Used Hockey also has cards with pieces of the nets used during last year's Stanley Cup Finals, giving collectors a direct connection to the Los Angeles Kings' first championship.

For the set's key rookie cards like Chris Kreider, Sven Baertschi and Jakob Silfverberg, this means print runs of less than 50. For those lucky enough to hit them, these could mean big returns as they're bound to be the rarest rookie cards of the year.
