That’s a tough one. I’d have to go with 08/09 Artifacts as there’s really nice pulls in every box, and even though it’s a bit more expensive you usually get your money’s worth with the memorabilia.

my favorite hockey box is 05-06 upper deck series 1 hockey. i like that product b/c of the great young guns that it had like Crosby and Ovechkin. Almost every pack had an insert, and you got 3 jerseys per box!

My favorite is Luc Robitaille’s Topps RC – I have one in a nice display with a photo-puck and it looks freaking awesome. In fact it’s one of the few Hockey Cards that I have on display, since my beloved Kings stink on ice lately.

My favorite box of all time is 01-02 Topps Heritage. I loved the look of the cards and it’s actually a set that I ended up getting completely signed in person based on the look. With Datsyuk and Kovalchuk rookies it just was great. Thats along with the Stadium Club set from the same year just based on the photography are amazing.

My favorite hockey card box is definitely 97/98 Zenith Hockey. Pinnacle’s “Dare to Tear” concept was way ahead of its time. Collectors of A&G and Topps Treasury know the feeling of tearing a card to find an even cooler card inside (it’s a gamble, sometimes it’s a common). I remember busting boxes of this stuff to make both sets (the 5×7 & the regular set). Eleven years later, it has lost a little bit of its luster… but it still contains both Lecavalier and Luongo’s key rookie cards.

My favorite box would Be ITG Between The Pipes 06-07, I am a HUGE Goalie collector and this product goes over and beyond my expectations, every box ive opened has been outstanding, It has a reasonable price per box which is also a great aspect!

May 8th, 2009 at 3:42 pm
I would have to say my favorite box is 05/06 The Cup. The cards are fabulous in that set. Real quality memorabilia stuff!!
I must say though my favorite brand is still Pacfic. The made so many awesome set throughout the years. Luxury Suite, Adrenaline, Calder, Heads Up etc..

Hi,
my favorite box I ever got was my first box ever: Upper Deck 05-06 series 2. I was 16 years old. I absolutely loved Alex Ovechkin even if I was (and still am) a big habs fan: the first box I ever bought with my own money was AWESOME : Alex Ovechkin 088/ 100 parallel. The man of the shop took an hour to convince me to sell it to him and he bought me it for 375$. And even more special, in the same box, a Ryan Getzlaf Rookie Ink that I still have in my possession. These two players are now my favorites and I collect them, even if Alexander The Great’s cards are very expensive. So Upper Deck series 2005-2006 are my favorite boxes because I never, in 5 boxes, got a card that was not worth below 40$, and got two cards in the first one that I will never forget. And by the way, what is ironic is that I saw MY Ovechkin card (the 088/ 100 parallel) again in one of my best friend’s collection! I was amazed by the coincidence!
Francois, Sherbrooke, Qc, Can
*two little errors: it was 375$ and the code was 088/100…

May 8th, 2009 at 11:18 pm
My opinion for the best box of all time would be………….. most definitley 05/06 UD series 2 retail. You would get 30 packs for a very decent price. And the best part was in every single box you hit a rookie (subset) of Crosby or Ovechkin. Never Disapointed! Always Happy! Wallet Happy!
Mike
May 8th, 2009 at 11:19 pm
Great break! My favorite was an early 2000’s Upper Deck (I forget exact year) where I pulled a Mike Bossy jersey card. He is one of my favorite Islanders.
K. Miller

My favourite box of hockey cards would have to be 2005/06 Upper Deck ICE. I always pull quality stuff out of those boxes. UD ICE is my favourite brand every year. I just love the plexi rookies and autos. Not to mention the level 1 rookies being some of the most sought after rookie cards of the year.

At the risk of really making myself feel old, I have great memories of busting the 90-91 upper deck. For me this was the good ole days. Looking forward to the weekend, my dad picking me up and taking me to the local hobby shop and leaving with a box of the UD to split with my little bro. We were always chasing the ever elusive rookie cards of Federov, Lindros or a card of the Great One. Who knew the 1st two would be such a bust? I know the cards of todays era have much more to offer as far a g/u and auto but the memories of a time when we were all trading at lunch time and it was a passion not a business is really what draws me to this product.

May 10th, 2009 at 3:53 pm
my faveorite box would have to be 05/06 upper deck series 2
ovechkin got me interested in hockey again and getting the young gun in my first box was a big thrill
J. Sellers

I’ve always loved Be-A-Player. I got into hockey cards in the late 90s and I became a huge Avalanche fan. Although I never pulled a Roy, Sakic, or Forsberg auto, I’ve never given up on Be-A-Player and their numerous autos per box.

Hi DacardWorld,
My favorite box is 2007/08 Upper Deck NHL Rookie Class Hockey Hobby Set because it amazing rookie cards of current NHL’s like Pat Kane(Blackhawks), Tyler Kennedy(penguins), Niklas Backstrom (capitals),Jonathan Bernier(Kings),and Bryan Little (Thrashers).
Terry Erskine

Hi DACARDWORLD,
My favorite box was the 1990/91 Upper Deck Hockey. It was the first set that I started collecting since I was a kid. Way overproduced but got me excited about the hobby again.

I am usually a guy who loves memrobillia cards but that was until I opened a box of 08/09 O-Pee-Chee hockey. This is by far my favourite set because of its fun. Theres an insert in every pack!. The design of the cards is also sweet especially the retro cards! That is why 08/09 O-Pee-Chee is my favorite box!

I’m picking the 2002-2003 Upper Deck Set. We have a ’shirt-tail’ cousin- Francois Beauchemin who plays for the Ducks and that’s his rookie card. He comes from Sorel and our family came from there and although my grandfather changed the spelling of our name, my boys, who play hockey still think it’s cool that they’ve got somebody in the NHL who they can consider being a relative (I think it’s pretty cool too).

06/07 SP Authentic Hockey, SP is always great, but this year had added value because of the insertion of the 05/06 stuff, like buying 2 boxes for the price of one.

07-08 upper deck series one- soooooo many good players
C. Wells

Heya Guys!
My fav hockey box of all time is an oldie but a goodie, 79-80 OPC. This is for two reasons- first, obviously, because it’s Gretzky’s RC year, but secondly, because it was the first year I really began collecting hockey cards.
I had grabbed a couple of packs of previous years, but 79-80 was the year I really dove in and tried for the set (I was a few cards short). So it remains my fav.
Ian Marderness
May 18th, 2009 at 9:09 am
My favorite box would have to be 05/06 Upper Deck Ice because that year I had bought a box and so did a friend of mine. I pulled some nice stuff but my friend pulled the ovechkin rc /99! I was shocked and I’d never seen such a rare pull before. felt that the product definitely provided a lot of value in each box and each year i continue to buy a box or two of Upper Deck Ice.

I did like 2007-08 UD Ice as I was trying to chase all of the rookie premieres…after a dissapointing break to 2008-09 Ice, I changed to 2008-09 Black Diamond. Had never busted BD before and I absolutely love it. The price point is great for the product and I love collecting all the different levels of diamonds.
Jake Lester
May 25th, 2009 at 9:51 pm
My favorite box is 08/09 Black Diamond. It’s got a great base design and u get several hits with the quad JSY’s, the Gemography’s, the Premier Cuts and the different levels of diamonds. perfect box break

85-86 Topps. There was nothing like pulling a Lemieux rookie card. There are sets from era with better overall rookie selection but that Lemieux rookie is a special card.

May 30th, 2009 at 12:52 am
i will go for 08-09 UD Ice , this product have contonued its tradition with having the toughest rc /99 to pull out of each year. And with each year the product is released the product design continues to evolve and becoming a class act. for its price tag , its a product for the masses with a classy appeal of high end touch for the big hits.
Kevin O
May 30th, 2009 at 11:28 pm
Unusual, but my favorite product is the 2001-2002 topps heritage hockey. Not a really high end product, but it was the first pack of hockey cards i ever remember getting. This card set introduced me to the sport of hockey, and without them i don’t think i would have ever been as big of a hockey fan as i am. Go Bruins!

My favourite hockeycard box is 08/09 Black Diamond ! I like cards what I get from that box, Crosby’s patch 03/10 and others.
Cards are very nicely BUT I get Valtteri Filppula’s card and there were goalie stats ? :O
That video what I saw was very nice and there were nice cards and I just love them, but have a nice summer and find new cards !
