Worth a look, I suppose

For those of us, for whatever reason, who were unable to attend the Ottawa Senators' new RBK Edge jersey unveiling last week, the defending Eastern Conference champion has been kind enough to provide a photo slideshow tour of the team's new look at its Web site.

No matter what they do, though, the new jerseys aren't worth the prices.

Long time baseball hound/Rangers fan who stumbled upon your blog. I'm going to try my hand at hockey hounding this winter, and have heard good things from the veterans in NY. I'm mostly a card person, so I've bought complete sets (no SPs) of 05-06 UD, 06-07 UD, 05-06 Parkhurt, 05-06 ITG Heroes and prospects update, and a lot of about 3/4 of the 05-06 ITG Heroes and prospects set. My questions are which of these sets need to be rubbed down, and do you have any other recommendations on sets to buy? Thanks a lot.

Welcome to the club. Thanks for taking the time to ask a question. Hopefully, I'll have some answers for you.

~ You'll have to rub down the 05-06 and 06-07 Upper Deck cards and 05-06 ITG Heroes and Prospects.

~ The 05-06 Parkhurst is one of my favorites. Between the lack of prep work and its sheer size (700-card base set) makes this a staple of any hound worth his or her salt.

~ About the only other set I'd suggest would be the 06-07 O-Pee-Chee. Sure, the cards need to be rubbed down, but it's pretty deep.

Have fun and good luck this season. I'd like to hear how you do in the Big Apple.
