Thoughts:

I figured it was worth a shot for $30 off, otherwise, I wouldn't have bothered. Much nicer base set this year, similar to the one 2 years ago.  The design last year looked a little busy in my opinion.

The addition of the retired greats (Gretzky, Lemieux, et al.) is a nice touch, though a challenge if you are attempting to get the set autographed.  It's nice to see rather than 3 cards of one player in a 100 card base set.

The reduction of total cards, and hits, due to the low Canadian dollar will definitely turn people off, especially when being sold at it's regular price.

My opinion, you can probably pick up singles cheaper on the secondary market.

Grade: C+
