Another silver lining

One of the better things to come out of the 2004-05 lockout, at least as this hockey hound is concerned, was the release of the UD Hockey All-World Edition.

If memory serves me correct, I groused a bit about the set being nothing more than a cash grab by Upper Deck. With no NHL season, it's production options were limited.

Now, though, I find these cards, such as this one of Tampa Bay's Vincent Lecavalier, are pretty cool to get signed. Not only are they different, but they also represent a snapshot in hockey history.
