Another silver lining

To be honest, it doesn't really matter who scores the most autographs, especially when one is from the Rangers' Nikolai Zherdev, a player who appears to be realizing early expectations.

It's even better, too, that one of the cards comes out of the 2004-05 UD Hockey All-World Edition set.

Produced during the unfortunate NHL lockout of 2004-05, the set featured most any NHL player who spent their newfound time that long, cold winter playing across Russia, Scandinavia and Europe.

A quick Google search shows hobby boxes can be found for around $28, plus shipping. Not a bad deal, I'd say, to diversify your card offerings.
